scientifically incorrect lyrics II

This...


...is a rainbow.

They always appear at the anti-solar point, so everyone get's their own personal one.

As everyone knows, the colours are in the following order:

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. ROYGBIV.

Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain.

I can sing a rainbow. It just doesn't scan very well. The same couldn't be said however, for Arthur Hamilton, who could sing a list of colours that were in the wrong order and included colours that are not present in rainbows.

Lyrics that don't stand up to scientific scrutiny

Their name must surely be legion, although I can think of only a couple at the moment.

Here's one that might be appropriate for the longest day.

"The darkest hour is just before dawn"

This comes of course from a song called "This is dedicated to the one I love" by 1960's West Coast minstrels, The Mamas and the Papas.


As the diagram above shows, the deepest shadow will actually occur more or less equidistantly between dusk and dawn, and the hour before dawn will generally see things start to lighten a little.
