Brown Eyed Girl – Van Morrison
This classic by Van Morrison was banned in 1967 for its suggestive lyrics. Actually, it came down to one lyric in-particular, “making love in the green grass.” That was where the radio stations were going to draw the line. Despite the pushback, the song was a hit huge.
Many radio stations compromised and released a radio-friendly version of the song that replaced the suggestive lyric with a phrase said earlier in the song which was, “laughin’ and a runnin’ hey hey.”
