My first impulse was \*The Blues Brothers \*and I ended up with _Blue Lagoon_, opting to go literally with “Blue” rather than “Blues.” Looks like \*Blue Velvet \*is the runaway favorite anyway – go figure. ---

Linda Ronstadt at my golf course. I happen to play a lot of golf with a very close relatives of Linda. I didn’t even think of that song. Went with She Wore “Bluuuuuuuue Vel-vet”. Creature = Blue Tick Hound? No wonder I do so crappy in these feuds. One of these days, I am going to cheat!!! ---

The things you learn in a feud. I had no idea that a “bluebonnet” was a flower. I thought it was a margarine. "_Everything’s better with Bluebonnet on it_. I am old enough to remember the College football Bluebonnet Bowl that used to be played in the Houston Astrodome. ---

I didn’t know of a 50s blues song, btw, that’s a guess. Some of my other answers are probably unique as well (the movie … the song … LOL) Oh well! It’s still my favorite color. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-feud-am-i-blue-by-ct_damsel-game-over-man/524931.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-feud-am-i-blue-by-ct_damsel-game-over-man/524931.md?page=4)
