At this moment, I cannot imagine a lamer 50s song than Russ Hamilton's "Rainbow". Maybe, that's why it's his only rock era top ten. The rainbow in the song is a metonymy for a diamond ring. Aww, isn’t it sweet? He wants to propose to his ladylove and "put a rainbow on her finger." Neither romantic nor interesting. Russ' voice sounds like it was recorded at a different speed than the "instruments". The shrill chorus is back. It's like we were just standing around, waiting for the next Elvis single.
Trog would be so proud!
