You do you and wear what you want to wear but now that Memorial Day, unofficial kickoff to summer, has passed you can (officially) wear white clothes. To piggyback on today's trivia theme, we thought we'd play songs that feature the word "white" in the title or prominently in the lyrics.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that feature the word "white" in the title or prominently in the lyrics? Send us your requests.

Songs Played

Procol Harum - "A Whiter Shade of Pale"
Cream - "White Room"
OK Go - "White Knuckles"
Marty Robbins - "A White Sport Coat and a Pink Carnation"
The Standells - "Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White"
Belle and Sebastian - "White Collar Boy"
Grandmaster Melle Mel - "White Lines (Don't Don't Do It)"
