Rainbows have nothing to hide.  \nMan, now I have to go watch the muppets.  They were the best!  Thanks for the smile.

Rainbows are made from light reflecting off the small droplets of water in the air, usually after it just rained so it doesn't really travel any differently...

in a way yes, in the sense that it says theres no religion, no heaven, so join us (perhaps in commusnism), i agree on you with that, but i think is a song that was written to make us this think about what the world could be like. Thank you for that insight though, i never thought about the song in that way!

Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel kamakawiwo'ole also known as Brudda Iz, Hawaiian Superman. It was also in 50 First Dates, Hallmark commercial, and endless amounts of commercials.

It's by Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow from the 1979 album Down to Earth. I think Graham Bonnet is on vocals.

The Clash and hopefully include Joe Strummer's solo work as well.  This music is not only quality and quantity but traverses several different styles of music punk/folk/reggae/jazz/ska/hip hop/latin/african/rockabilly.\nThis is important because if that is all there is you're less likely to get tired of it.

The rainbow has a place in legend due to its beauty and the difficulty in explaining the phenomenon before the work of Descartes in the 17th century (although, as mentioned above, Theodoric of Freiburg had given a satisfactory explanation in the 13th century.)\n\nIn Greek mythology, the rainbow considered to be a path made by a messenger (Iris) between Earth and Heaven. In Chinese mythology, the rainbow was a slit in the sky sealed by Goddess Nüwa using stones of five different colours. In Hindu mythology, the rainbow is called Indradhanush, meaning the bow of Indra, the God of lightning and thunder. In Norse Mythology, a rainbow called the Bifröst Bridge connects the realms of Ásgard and Midgard, homes of the gods and humans, respectively. The Irish leprechaun's secret hiding place for his crock of gold is usually said to be at the end of the rainbow (which, of course, one can never reach). In the Hebrew Bible, the rainbow is a symbol of the covenant between God and man, and God's promise to Noah that He would never again flood the entire Earth\n\n\nVIBGYOR...

There are some interesting facts here.  Somewhere down the page they give names of the most covered songs.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover_version

over the rainbow\nmusic by Harold Arlen and lyrics by Yip Harburg, is one of the most famous songs of the late 1930s.\n\nHundreds of singers have recorded their own versions of "Over the Rainbow", most notably by Patti LaBelle, Melissa Manchester, Frank Sinatra, Willie Nelson, Linda Eder, Johnny Mathis, Jo Stafford, Doris Day, Martina McBride, Ella Fitzgerald, Olivia Newton-John, Aretha Franklin, Ramones, Metallica, Ray Charles, Harry Connick Jr, Sarah Vaughan, Faith Hill, Tony Bennett, and the late Eva Cassidy. Sam Harris performed a winning rendition on the first season of the original Star Search. Barbra Streisand, Eric Clapton, Kylie Minogue, and Garland's daughters Liza Minnelli and Lorna Luft have sung the song in concert. One of the most interesting versions was recorded by the late Hawaiian singer Israel Kamakawiwo'ole whose medley of "Rainbow" and Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" was featured on the soundtrack of the films Meet Joe Black, Finding Forrester, and 50 First Dates. James Stewart memorably warbled a rendition while carrying a "drunk" Katharine Hepburn in The Philadelphia Story. Even horror legend Vincent Price did a version in the film Dr. Phibes Rises Again.\n\nBritish television comedian Kenny Everett sometimes did comedy segments that included the unique sound of a British police car siren and Everett singing the lyrics, "Behind me!" and "That's where you'll find me!"\n\nThe cover band Me First and the Gimme Gimmes covered the song for their 1999 album Are a Drag, and in the animated series The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Grey Delisle sang it as her character, Mandy. Guitarist Joe Satriani occasionally covers the song at his concerts. Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore would perform a few bars of the verse at the beginning of his concerts, when he Rocked the world with his band of Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, in those years from 1975 to 1983.\n\nIn Stephen Schwartz's musical Wicked, an adaptation of Gregory Maguire's novel, the main character, Elphaba, has a piece of music that plays at important moments in her life, the words of which are "Un-li-mi-ted, my fu-ture -" and this piece is played to the same notes (though not the same lengths) as "Some-where o-ver the rain-bow'. As the Wicked Witch of the West is Elphaba's other name, and because Dorothy and she are literary foils, this provides an ironic subtext to this song. (It also may be noted that by restricting the piece to seven notes, Schwartz prevented MGM from having the right to press legal charges against him.)\n\n\nThe Smashing Pumpkins would often include "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" in the live/jam version of "Silverfuck". This is present on the live concert album Earphoria but on the DVD Vieuphoria it is edited out, because they did not have the rights to the song. "Rainbow" can also be found on the late Ray Charles final album, Genius Loves Company, as a duet with Johnny Mathis.

if there is, it moves around when you do. If you try nd follow the rainbow till its end, you will never manage it, as much as you try. So there might be, but you'll never get it.

Umm.. No. Rainbows are a result of atmospheric moisture and light, not a short Irish man who tricks kids into buying overpriced cereal.

They also occur as a circle, if you're in a plane (i was in a microlight) above mist/cloud it's the most spectacular sight, I looked down and there was a circular rainbow. It has to do with the fact that you're viewing it from one point, all the rainbow is relative to you.
