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

Yeah maybe I will make a separate thread for songs with blue, I would enjoy seeing a list of all them together.

Violets is a good one, sneaky.

"Brown Sugar" - Freddie Roach

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.

The Purple People Eater

if you remember that one, you are old.

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.
