this is the most beautiful song in the whole entire world.

this name of this song is a teaching tool for the colours of the rainbow (red orange yellow green blue indigo violet)

incidentally a number of other BoC songs make references to this track (or this track is a reference to all of the others) as you can in Aquarius hear the word "Orange" and in Music Is Math you can hear what some say is the word "Purple" if anyone hears any of the other colours in BoC songs let me know will ya?

"Yellow" in Alpha and Omega - but erm, I never heard "purple" in Music is Math? at which point exactly? or are you referring to the part where some people think they're saying "be careful"

you know that makes a lot more sense, they probably are saying purple.

alright this is a stretch, but i mean dont hate me for thinking outside the box

The color of fire=red sixtyten=610 is the wavelength of orange turqoise hexagon sun=sun is yellow

but you know i have know idea, their idea of color and light just exercises our ideas of human possibility if that makes any sense at all...

The little kid's voice is saying "yeah" backwards. If you listen to it in reverse, it is very clear.

When I think of this song and the title being roygbiv (the colors of the rainbow) and how childlike and nostalgic this song is, I think of how children are so open-minded and they see things adults don't. I often believe that adults only see the black & white in things while children see the rainbow... roygbiv. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet.
