CLEVER! i never would've guessed. i thought the ROYGBIV was a word all scrambled up. guess i was wrong. great job!!!!!
Good rebus. Enjoyed this one as it made me think of the Wizard of Oz and all those cute little munchkins! Oh, and Toto, too!
Great teaser!!!!!
I almost gave up until I remembered what ROYGBIV was....then I started singing the dang song....LOL

good easy one but the easy ones are good!!
That was good. i was sitting here trying to unscramble the word - that turned out to not even be a word! LOL . GOOD JOB.
Was confused at first, but then I saw the answer...
Great Job! Very Clever.
Great Job! Very Clever.
Great one! Got it right away, but mostly because my kids are into Wizard of Oz now.
Good job but you got that song stuck in my head now!!! Awesome teaser!!
Great teaser! This is the first Rebus I've solved . I loved the title too - very clever!
Wonderful clever rebus. This is the best one I've seen. Oh yes, I saved it in my favorites
I got it! Probably cuz I was just in our Drama 2 class's version of Wizard of Oz! (we did some really cheesy stuff for that song; we even had a paper rainbow that two girls danced around w/!)
I LOVE the WOZ! Keep em' comin!
I LOVE the WOZ! Keep em' comin!
i think the title should have been the hint but i still loved it!!!!!!!
Excellent
I've got a half
I couldn't figure what the +'s were supposed to mean. That was a good teaser though.
Too hard this time.
I have a hard time if a rebus is easy. This one wasn't. Wow
Was clueless. I'm not good on rebus's.
Love it, didn't get it. Now I'm going to be singing the song all day. What a great way to start this rainy day. Thanks for posting.
easy easy easy easy easy easy easy easy easy
but fun

Tough one, I didn't have a clue. I, too, will have the song in my head all day.
I guess I'm some where over the rainbow right now...
i got it right off, but it was fun...very clever! =)

It took two of us, but we got it. FUN!
A classic comedy
Kay, got the answer as SOON as I saw ROYGBIV... but I couldn't figure out how that could be the answer with all the plus signs... Very nice teaser! Thanks
ROYGBIV gave it away. I didn't get the "+" signs, but a GREAT REBUS!!!!
got the ROYGBIV part and the where and over but not the sum but it came to me anyway but good teaser
I love rebuses, or rebi. This was a good 1. Added to favorites. Keep 'em coming!

The 'W+H+E+R+E' part doesn't make sense (... to me).
The ROYGBIV part was easier.
Overall, 50/50.

Like a previous poster said, the ROYGBIV part gave it away - those are the colors of the rainbow! The plus-signs only confirmed I was right!
How Oz, that wizardly teaser.

Rebuses aren't my thing - and I didn't have a clue about this one. I won't forget what ROYBGIV represents next time I see it!
I do love the song, though!

It's W plus H plus E plus R plus E, or SUM WHERE...
AROB and I was still out in left field, actually I wasn't even in the ballpark. Hi GiMi
I almost never get rebuses, but a song title with rainbow in it, confirmed by 'where', kinda SUMmed it all up for me!!
Bravo, Wordmama! Greetings to KiPA!
Good one, but I still didn't get it.
Hi Gayle & doehead.
Hi Gayle & doehead.
I just don't come across that mnemonic device for remembering in what order the colors in the rainbow come, to know what it is every time I see it. For instance, I most recently saw it in 2008 when this teaser last ran, and since I have no compelling reason to want or need to commit it to memory, it doesn't stay in my brain. In other words, I didn't have a clue.
Clever and fun. Thank you for this rebus.
Very clever! Great job!
pretty good, but i dont watch the wizard of oz i just saw a small part till the end i havent seen any othr part of it even though i hav the movie is that odd????
I could have worked all night on it and never figured it out. How many people know that is about the colors in a rainbow?? Not me. Glad there are some smarties out there!
Though I am sure many are familiar with the song, I think knowing what ROYGBIV means may be an age related thing. I am in my early 40s and we learned it at school, while my mother had never heard of it until her children were in school.
I knew what the answer was, but didn't figure out where the somewhere was coming from.

Clueless.
Got it!
No clue whatsoever
Typical range of responses to a GREAT Rebus:
"not a clue"
"ez-pz"
That's because the writing and solving of Rebuses require such a wide range of language knowledge, experience, AND (most important) ....
the "intuitive leap"
... without the ability to do the "leap" ...
one is sunk.
But don't fret. Not everyone on these threads can be a Rebus Genius.
Maybe you do well at other Braingle puzzle categories ???
Stay with what you do best.

Pretty straightforward. Nice job!
Funny because some friends and I were just talking about ROYGBIV last night. Letters stand for: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.
This one came to me instantly. Good one! Thanks for posting.
Enjoyed this rebus puzzle; I got it after a short while and I too had ROYGBIV in school.
Clever, thanks!
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got it very quickly this time compared to three years ago.
