Despite popular myth, "Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison is not about drugs. The song is about reminiscing over an interracial relationship. The song was written and recorded in 1967, toward the end of the Civil Rights Movement.

The song was originally titled "Brown-Skinned Girl." Van Morrison changed the title when the song was first recorded to make it more radio-friendly. Another example of the song's being changed to suit radio broadcast is the line "Laughin' and a-runnin', hey hey", which was taken from the first verse and used to replace the line "Making love in the green grass" in the third verse of the censored version.
