I suggest no tunes with "blue" or "blues," which actually have been avoided so far.

And tunes written or played by jazz artists.  

"Violets for Your Furs"

"Purple Sounds"--Stuff Smith

"The Brown Queen"--Andrew Hill

I think of neon as an inert, colorless gas. YMMV.

Fushia Swing Song

To set straight an (inexplicably) oft-made blunder in that title:

The ACTUAL song title (as per the flower and the color derived from it) is

FUCHSIA Swing Song. ❗

Or just very much tuned in to music from past decades and aware of a lot (which should be a natural to anyone seriously interested in the heyday of jazz - though the above tune admittedly is not so jazz-ish ).
(FWIW, personally I had not been born yet when Sheb Wooley hit the charts with that one, and yet ... )

Good catch on the Sam Rivers song title, spell check let me down (of course it would since the word was capitalized). As to Purple People Eater, I was 2 when it was released but an aunt of mine had the 45 and I heard it a lot as a small child at her house.
