Also, "Torn Green Velvet Eyes" by The Magnetic Fields. (The only green eyes song I have.)
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
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!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Anybody know any? Preferably up-beat and likely to be liked by someone who likes music like until Brown-Eyed Girl.
I think The Silos did "Pale Green Eyes." Or maybe Zeitgeist/Reivers. But I think it's the Silos.

When I was making a wedding mix for a green-eyed friend, her favorite was the hidden track (it's the last two minutes of the song "simonize") from Pete Yorn's first album Music for the Morning After.
The first line is "Someday I'll look into her green eyes..."
It was the only green-eye song I could find at the time.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Husker Du have a pretty song called "Green Eyes":
It's a great big world
There's a million other guys
I feel so lucky when I look
In those green eyes

Ann, that's a ferret.
A coworker commented that she doesn't like that song, as there aren't any songs about girls with green eyes.
Ultrabeat, "Pretty Green Eyes"
Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, "Green Eyes"
Sugarloaf, "Green-Eyed Lady"
Not sure if the first two would be available on iTunes, so thought I'd toss them out.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
"Devil with the Green Eyes" - Matthew Sweet
This is a great song, IMO.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Both Nick Cave and Erykah Badu have songs titled "Green Eyes".

Woe to the fucking wicked.
The Nick Cave is rather...not appropriate for the audience.

Punishingly Intricate
Random music thing: I drove two members of Luna around last night. They were in town for the Maryland Film Festival with the documentary about their band, Tell Me Do You Miss Me. I didn't see the movie unfortunately. I was volunteering as a van driver and drove them from their hotel back to the theater. They were very polite.
