You Gotta Have Blue Hair/Music

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


A list of music videos in which people have unusual colored hair.


  • Music example: 2D of Gorillaz has blue hair, Noodle has purple, and it's been proven that it's natural for both. 2D's was apparently caused by one of his many head injuries causing all his hair to change colour -- "collars and cuffs", as Murdoc puts it, though 2D's eyebrows still appear to be black. Despite his not having been born with it, at least some of 2D's multiple illegitimate children apparently also have blue hair. Noodle's hair started out black, but faded to purple during "Demon Days" and now appears to have faded even further to blue in "On Melancholy Hill". Murdoc also has a purplish tinge to his hair in some pictures.
  • Supla, "Green Hair". The song qualifies more than the video (as a classic -- in Portuguese -- Accentuate the Negative analysis of it described: "He had already hired this stuff, and as she didn't have green hair, and wouldn't dye for this cheesy video, so she just painted a strand of it with crayon and a marker.")
  • In Bad Religion's "Struck a Nerve" video, there is a scene which shows some guy with, you guessed it, blue hair playing guitar while covered in some kind of tape.
  • Shakira in "Las de las Intuicion / Pure Intuition".
  • Katy Perry in more than one.
  • Cherry from the animated band Studio Killers has turquoise hair- at least in the "Ode To The Bouncer" video. Subsequent fanart and videos show that she likes changing the color and style a lot, although the turquoise appears to be her default.
  • Nicki Minaj is probably the greatest rapper example of this, as you can see in Super Bass.
  • Vocaloid: let's see - Kaito & Miku have blue and blue-green hair, Iroha Nekomura & Luka have pink, Gakupo has purple, three characters (Gumi, Ryuto, and Sonika) have green hair, Piko & Miriam have grey, and at least two versions of Leon depict him with blue or orange hair (though most give him normal blond hair). Miki also has very bright red hair. The Vocaloid3s continue this theme, with Ring having blue-white hair, Aoki having purplish-bluish-white hair, CUL having bright red hair, Yukari and Tone having purple, and Akikoloid having pink. But Mayu and Galaco definitely take the cake: Mayu's is a normal blond that turns rainbow at the end, and Galaco has brown on one side, blond on the other side, and bangs that are red, yellow, and blue.
  • In almost all of Marianas Trench's music videos, one can clearly see the blue streaks in lead singer Josh Ramsay's hair.
  • In the video for her duet with Tony Bennett of "The Lady Is a Tramp", Lady Gaga looks more normal than usual...but with blue hair.
  • Paramore's Hayley Williams has bright red (not the natural hair color version) hair with blond highlights
  • Krysta Rodriguez sang a song about dying her hair blue.
  • The late-1940s Jazz song "I Don't Ask Questions, I Just Have Fun" by the Billy Taylor Quartet (written by Billy Taylor) includes the following lines:

Each day I kiss a redhead,
A blonde and brunette, too.
And just today I kissed a gal
Whose curly locks were blue.
