This day in music history.

September 30, 1967, Van Morrison's "Brown-Eyed Girl" peaks on the singles chart at number 10. The song is from Vans first solo album, (Blowin' Your Mind!) after leaving the band THEM in 1966. The song was originally titled "Brown-Skinned Girl". Brown Eyed Girl was banned from many radio stations because of the lines "playing our nude games" and "making love in the green grass". The song has been copied by such bands as Barenaked Ladies, Bruce Springsteen, Green Day, Indigo Girls and the Sex Pistols. I believe this is one of the greatest pop songs ever made, it is almost perfect and Van is a fucking genius.
Brown eyed Girl by Van Morrison
Hey, where did we go
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow
Playing our nude games
Laughing and a-running
hey, hey,
Skipping and a-jumping
In the misty morning fog with
our hearts a-thumping
And you, my brown-eyed girl,
You, my brown-eyed girl.
Whatever happened
To days so slow
Going down to the old mine
with a
Transistor radio.
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hide behind a rainbow's wall,
Slipping and a-sliding
All along the waterfall
With you, my brown-eyed girl,
You, my brown-eyed girl.
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Just like that
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
La dee dah.
So hard to find my way
Now that I'm all on my own.
I saw you just the other day,
My, how you have grown!
Cast my memory back there,
Lord,
Sometime I'm overcome thinking about it
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium
With you,
my brown-eyed girl,
You, my brown-eyed girl.
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah..
