ROCK PAINT

Hello lovely Buckles!

I'll play this one:

Heart's Filthy Lemon
I'm Afraid of Amaranth

...okay I'm out of Bowie songs! (Spot the NIN fan :-)

He-rose
Green Bitch
Golden Years
We Are The Red
Up The Hill Blackwards

Can we do Star Wars Bowie songs next? I've already got Anakin Detroit in my locker.

How about 'Diamond Dog Poo Brown'?

Too crude? Ok what about the dead obvious "Blue Blue electric Blue"

Cat Purple (Putting Out Fire)
Absolute Begonias

Wow, that's very flattering! Here are a few more...

A Blue Career in a Blue Town.
Joe the Cyan
The paint can hue gold the world.

Yeah, that last one doesn't make any sense.

How about...

Violet Goldmine
Sapphire-and-jet City
Life on Mauve?

The Green Genie
Alabaster Song
Slow Burn(t Orange)
Buddleia of Suburbia
I've Been Waiting For Blue
Under The Gold
Never Let Me Brown
Prisoner of Mauve

I had one for The Prettiest Star, where the colour brown was inserted between the words "prettiest" and "star", but I'm not sure it'll get through the castle gates.

Love you bye. ((xxXxxXxxXxx))

Starmandarin
Gene Greenie
Moonage Day Cream

I could only think of one...

This Is Not Aquamarine

Im working entirely with the most popular Bowie songs as according to last.fm...but I wont stop til I figure one out for every song in the top 15! No matter how awful.

Ziggy Stardust = Ziggy StarRUST (
Changes = Cha-ORANGEs
Space Oddity = Space ORANGEy (orange)
Starman = Silvarman (silver)
Life on Mars = Life on MAROON :(
Suffragette City = SuffREDgette City (red)
Lets Dance = Zest dance (lemon)
Heroes = MarasHEROES (cherry colour? Like maraschino:0)
Rebel Rebel = Yellow Yellow :(
Ashes to Ashes = Heat rashes to heat rashes (the colour of burned skin!)
The man who sold the world = The man who GOLD the world
Modern love = Fern love (green like ferns!)
China girl = Rhino girl (the colour of rhinos)
Oh you pretty things = Oh blue pretty things (both blue and pretty)
Moonage Daydream = Moonage Daygreen (the colour of green)

In my defence...I was majorly distracted by battlestar galactica almost getting killed :(

I can only think of 3.

Green David Bowie
Blue David Bowie
Clear David Bowie

my death black
yassassin yellow
red sails red
red money red
cactus green
slow burn(t) umber
slave grey
moss garden green
anyway, anyhow, antique white
white eyed boy from fuchsia (ouch!)
drive in slategrey
cyan commitee
god knows i'm gold

these are all painfully bad I know! sorry....:(

This is not a paint colour

Broke out my Labyrinth soundtrack for these :-

Within Blue
As The World Falls Brown

Cracked Aquamarine

Under Azure (with Green)

Space Olive-y

The Laughing Mauve

..oh, and Blue Jean


Pretty Awful I know!

Browned and Vision
I'm a Greyed of A Maroon-icons
Cyana Girl (how did nobody else do this already?)
Blue King for Satellites
I Have Not Been To Ochre Town

speaking of which, i hope you've all seen the best colour survey ever:
https://blag.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/

Huggles!

@roboplege

It states in the "basic discoveries" that nobody can spell fuchsia, but our very own ADAM BUXTON can (see top of page)

The miscellaneous section near the end was sooo funny. My faves: gosh, that's blue and shark infested water.

Thanks for that!

Oh, balls, I misread this and spent some time thinking up Beatles ones. I was quite pleased with my Revolter (for walls that are just going to get dirty anyway) and Scabby Road (rustic) as well.

Sorry also for resurrecting the ghost of Mark & Lard's 'Pigment or Figment' quiz, but it was completely different to this, and I would bet the bag of grapes I am currently eating that nobody but me remembers it anyway!

Um...... Sandy Warhol, The Bluelay Brothers, Black Tie White Gloss.

Enough.

Another Bowie punfest - crafty ploy to assist in luring the Goblin King into a famous fun scenario I wonder..? *strokes chin*...

https://adam-buxton.co.uk

Queen Pitch Black
Blue Jean
Blackout
It Ain't Queasy
Black Country Sock
Thin White Puke (Oh dear, that's a bit gross isn't it?)

*Returns to election trivia*

I'm liking:
Foxy stoats Prisoner of Mauve
Shinno's This is not aquamarine (la la la la la)
Harry Gout's Space Olive-y
Razor 5000's Sandy Warhol

Good work!

Blues Keep Swinging!

*YES* I got excited when I thought of this but then I thought it was too obvious and a fellow blog squadie must have already said it... but no.

I'm gonna award myself a bowie snack for this.

P.s John, I'm only decorating :)

... Would be a good slogan to use if you could somehow get Bowie in to advertise the paint franchise

Copyright me. No stealing my royalties plz.

How about one of those slightly shimmery paints called China Pearl ?

Dear Count buckles,
Iam FURIOUS! IF YOUR GOING TO USE MY IDEA, I EXPECT TO GET SOME CREDIT AT LEAST!
Here is a comment I posted months ago.
Still love you byeee!!

Au revoir!

@MJ Hey man/manette, here's a chillcake. Savour!

If you're thinking it was 'MaroonAge DayDream' pinched without a nod, it was actually 'Moonage Daycream' that wuz read out.

Laven' the 'LAVEN'der ALIEN' though.

@Radiator
I was actually referring to the whole Bowie paint concept but thanks for the chillcake dude, it was delicious.x

Ahh, I just assumed it was something Buckeroo had resurrected from God knows when, to get a larger response this time or something. So....I'm forced to agree you've been somewhat wronged! *Hands you bigger, tastier chill cake originally reserved for self, to ease the anguish*.

However, Mr Bux probably had one of those brain fit scenarios where you're convinced you've come up with something nicely creative purely on your own, then later it dawns on you...it's sadly just not the case at all.

I did that with Blu Ray. Easily done :)

Dr Buckles, Mark & Lard are definitely not going to beat you up no matter what paint-related features you do. I was listening to Marc Riley (aka Lard)'s very own 6music show the other week when the Big Mix Tape jingle came on and after it, he said: 'I think I'm going to have to start the Adam Buxton fanclub. But it probably already exists.'

So there you go. Forgot to say this earlier!
