"Brown Eyed Girl" is a hit song written and recorded in 1967 by singer and songwriter Van Morrison. The song was first released on the album Blowin' Your Mind as Morrison's first single as a solo artist and became his biggest hit. The song's nostalgic lyrics about a former love were considered too racy at the time to be played on many radio stations, so a radio-edit of the song was released which excised the lyrics "making love in the green grass." This edited version appears on the compilation album The Best of Van Morrison.
The song has been recorded by many diverse artists including Jimmy Buffett, Everclear, Buster Poindexter, and Steel Pulse.
