'Heart Of Gold'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Hey, musicistas. I have a question that I'm having a hard time researching.
I was at work one day, and "Brown-Eyed Girl" came on. A coworker commented that she doesn't like that song, as there aren't any songs about girls with green eyes. By the end of the conversation, I had pledged to make her a CD of such songs.
Anybody know any? Preferably up-beat and likely to be liked by someone who likes music like until Brown-Eyed Girl.
How about "Life in a Nutshell" by Barenaked Ladies?
>She memorized
>Every pencil crayon colour in the box
>Her blue-green eyes
>Complement the burnt sienna in her locks
>She's at the movies, I'm on the phone
>When we're separated we're never alone, but still
>it's never enough, it's never enough,
>No it's never enough
A fun, pop-but-smart love song.
"Temptation", by New Order, sort of.
"Oh, you've got green eyes / Oh, you've got grey eyes / Oh, you've got blue eyes"
Way back in the '70s, there was "Green-Eyed Lady" by Sugarloaf. 'Twas a hit and all....
eta: Google green eyes song for some more...
eta²: From iTunes:
plus about twenty different groups have songs called "Green Eyes"
Of course, I have no idea what any of these songs sound like (Except for the Sugarloaf one).
Oh, and "When She Comes Around" by Steve Wynn - I love that song....
Doesn't Coldplay have a song called "Green Eyes"?
Yeah. That one one of the popular hits when I did the google....
eta: The following google:
"green eyes" lyrics -coldplay
...comes up with quite a lot. (The '-coldplay' eliminates all the Coldplay matches, as there are quite a lot of them.)
Yeah, a friend of mine danced to the Coldplay song at her wedding --both bride and groom have green eyes.
Also, "Torn Green Velvet Eyes" by The Magnetic Fields. (The only green eyes song I have.)
Yeah, I found the ones titled "green eyes" (even went through all the ones on iTunes). I was thinking you guys might know more. Thanks!

I think The Silos did "Pale Green Eyes." Or maybe Zeitgeist/Reivers. But I think it's the Silos.
