Some of my favourite colours in the world
Beat against my eyelids with the blues of green hummingbirds
Some of my favourite colours in the world
Beat against my eyelids with the reds of pink hummingbirds

Blue Moon
So white
So scared
To come out tonight

It's too dark
For him
He's just a boy
With a man's grin

Crane and the swan
Wingspan across
Lake's silver light
The ivory night

Some of my favourite colours in the world
Beat against my eyelids with the blues of green hummingbirds
Some of my favourite colours in the world
Beat against my eyelids with the reds of pink hummingbirds

Godiva Girl
Swimming in chocolate
Winged foil heart cardinals
Oh but February stopped it
Red Bird
Scared white
She's just a girl
With a woman's smile

Crane and the swan
Wingspan across
Green apple bites
And Red Apple skies

Some of my favourite colours in the world
Beat against my eyelids with the blues of green hummingbirds
Some of my favourite colours in the world
Beat against my eyelids with the reds of pink hummingbirds

I want to be neat
I want to be clean
I want to be marvelous

Thank me
The colors of it

Some of my favourite colours in the world
Beat against my eyelids with the blues of green hummingbirds
Some of my favourite colours in the world
Beat against my eyelids with the reds of pink hummingbirds

Ok, I'm getting out of the gutter before there are problems caused.   
 
It depends on the tune; the "Chicken Dance" would probably be less than pleasant.

Ah, you must have moved the party up to the roof - good idea!  This is a great song - instant 8.

Did guest number 847 sprain his ankle, or is he just a wallflower?  Nice groove.

Reminds me of Rosie Vela's great forgotten LP from the 80s ... forgotten or not, she seems to have been an influence on (or perhaps a precursor of) a lot of female singers that followed.

Pretty cool album cover, I dig it. Maybe I'm a sucker for shades of blue... Song ain't bad, either.

I have always enjoyed this song...but for those who hold the opinion it doesn't seem "whole," I wouldn't argue. I first heard the song on a demo of about 4 songs back when I was music director for a station in Indiana. It was much more amazing live at CMJ in NYC...she fills the room with her voice & presence.

I agree a bit with the preceeding evaluations - but the sweetness of Annette's voice throws the whole song to the plus side of the equation for me!     
Annette Strean grew up in an idyll setting in the small rustic town of Whitefish, Montana surrounded by her idealistic parents. "My dad was a logger, there were four kids and my mom stayed home with us," Annette fondly remembers. "The house that we grew up in was way out in the woods. Whenever you played, you played outside. You did everything outside. All your entertainment. You very rarely just sat around and watched TV (they only had one channel to choose from). You make your own fun living in a place like that so we always sang together."

IMO, the parts sound nice individually, but the song is totally disjointed. The voice doesn't fit the feel of the music, the drums don't fit the bassline and the bassline crowds the music too much.
Are you saying poor musicianship and bad production? I didn't quite hear the imbalance, but I do agree that it doesn't feel "whole".

She did a live song on the Blueman DVD, wild stuff. I like her voice!

I hate to say this, but this band really sucked when they toured with Blue Man Group. Not even a light up dress can make it palatable.
I strongly disagree...saw them in Denver with BMG and they kicked a**! I became an instant fan, despite the electric dress. Maybe you just saw them on an off night...it happens to the best of us on occasion.

I didn't see the live show, but at least on the Blue Man DVD The Complex Rock Tour Live I thought the cover of I Feel Love was one of the best perfomances of the show. Maybe I'm just a sucker for an electric dress.

Every one of their songs sounds the same to me. I kept waiting to hear "honey in a lions mane...." but alas, it's just the same song with different lyrics.

Which version? I've got about 16 on my iod alone. Eight from the original series, and a bunch of remixes. EDIT: I'm really curious to see what the theme on the new series is going to be like. Only a few more months to wait before it gets broadcast in the US (i hope).

ever hear remixes of Tori Amos songs? "Jackie's Strength" in particular? ever hear her sing on BT's "blue sky?" if you like Venus Hum, then take a listen to the above tracks.

Ditto in DC. Enchanting techno-trio, and her voice soared through the hall.

I first heard Venus Hum about 4 years ago when a friend brought me a cd from a "friend of a friend". Ever since then, I have been hooked on Venus Hum. I highly recommend them to anyone with interests in trip-hop.
