Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl (1967 COLOR clip)

[fattossa]

Van the Man, what a cat, i dig his crazy jacket, its far out.

[ridingthetubeagain]

takes me back to 84 when i met my brown eyed girl which even though it ended thank god i know what love is

[n2extreem]

eye color**



[n2extreem]

i went to cabo san lucas over the summer and the mexicans that played guitar would sing this to every pretty girl but replace brown eyed with their actual i color haha. what a great trip. now that its winter in chicago i miss it so much. i need to get back.

[dakota23750]

Van Morrison was really a good singer but to me the one & only true MORRISON was our beloved JIM Mojo Morrison....that was & still is true talent & noone will ever come close to him...

[zetaiotapike2000]

haha, great song but this video is hilarious

[hankbob2000]

Worst case of lip synching I've ever seen. Yes, it was very common in the 60s to lip synch on TV.

[ITFA2]

Geez, sounds EXACTLY like the radio version, note for note. Not a microphone in sight. Is this early lip sync??

[MrsWidlak]

What a great tune! Always put me in a good mood! .... Happy Tune <3

[willow69487]

Re elviscash56 Yes they are all show.with little talent.  Love this song.

[KrystyneY]

Great song...this poor guy...he was not meant for American Bandstand. He's more poet or troubadour than pop star. Hugely talented, but not a part of the star machine, for sure.

[Guderian1939]

He's still an ugly cunt Fact

[avatarmn]

"My, how you have grown." Creepy thing to say to an ex-lover, or creepiEST thing to say to an ex-lover?

[WTFyouDAMF]

@avatarmn he's saying, haven't you gotten fat, "politely"

[RicketyCat]

You can tell VM was pissed at the producers for making him lip-synch.

[desk3333]

excellent muscian

[musicanaist]

@desk3333 Time has proven him priceless. He seemed sort of nervous here though. He looked like he just wanted to finish the song and start running. Precious little kid then!(lol)

[neukertification]

Clean music , true music, great lyrics, great musicians, true artist...what else can you say..

[checkeredpastmusic]

what's up with the bram stokers dracula hairdo?

[lukavarga1]

stinken Mtv ruined  that good old rock and roll

[bobcook28]

Great music, very poor lip sync.

But that's the way they did it then.

[Guderian1939]

Ugly cunt

[musicanaist]

@Guderian1939 Show the YouTube world your good looks before insulting someone for their physical appearance.

[Jrweiser8]

bobby flay anyone??? lol

[fourbyfourer]

LMAO ya the aisan guy is like "supid redeck you pissin me off"

[dynelol]

Sing this song to a girl while you fuck her in the ass. lol

[letseeit7]

@dynelol Hahahahahahahahah good one !!!

[heatfilter]

Back then it was the few that made the scene, now it's available for everyone so we'll have "trash" of course. Always been trash out there just not on TV or radio, just mixtapes... you people need to stop with "there are no good artists today" PPPPHHHHHHTTTTT! Dido, Sarah Mclaughlin, D Angelo, Erykah Badu, Ron Isley (not dead and making music), Stevie Wonder (still making hits), Delilah (Fav), etc... please stop saying there is no talent today, there is an abundance, just need to filter it all.

[montelatici]

All these young punks on all these genuine you tubes claim that it is lip synching. Not the case you young aholes.

[Sly6035]

He is lip singing this and i dont think he is stoned



[boske1ful]

I love van Morisson,I love his voice!!!!

[shells4donna]

He is so stoned...this is what acid looks like. Well, it was 1967...

[damallooo]

Haha, he looks like his mouth tastes really bad.

[matrimoniofeliz7]

Este disco lo tenia en español si

[libidomosquito]

Mad love for Van Morrison and this song, but apparently the 60's acid trips caused you to loose control of your tongue. LOL

[NikeHM69]

anyone else notice that this guy looks just like Bobby Flay.

[caligti4]

LIPSYNCING ALL DAY.  not saying he didn't sing the song originally, but he's certainly not singing it here!

[elviscash56]

You know what's wrong with today's music? All the artists are good looking but they have no talent. You know how it was back then? Quite a few of them were downright ugly, but it didn't matter because they had TALENT TALENT TALENT. Man, I wish I wasn't 19, my generation got fucked big time!

[JohnnyJohnnyJohnny]

@elviscash56 That's the kind of statement that's easy to make when you're ignorant, but left of the dial and in the underground, things are as good as they've ever been.

[MadDogRunning7]

@elviscash56 Yeah man cause Adel is such a swimsuit model and I would always get so excited when I saw Amy Winehouse's skin and bone body with jacked up teeth. Not to mention those poster boys of Wezzer, OkGo, Gorillaz, and Cee Lo Green. If only these people had some talent to go along with their dashing good looks to save your generation from its impending musical doom! Calm down....

[goneatlast]

@MadDogRunning7 Well put, MadDog

[jimjam485]

@MadDogRunning7 Cee Lo Green?

[unoalice333]

@elviscash56 as long as there are cd's and you are able to listen to this music, you haven't been fucked...listen to 'The Seekers. " I'll never find another you" 1968

[musicanaist]

@elviscash56 You're right but, Van looks kinda cute here!

[unoalice333]

@elviscash56 as long as there are cd's, you will never be fucked. This music is timeless and I'm sure the artist's will appreciate you

[unoalice333]

@elviscash56 listen to 'The Seekers" 'I'll never find another you' 1968...sooo wonderful!

[zelick03]

el sonido es una poronga!!!

[aboyintheband]

interesting how he sings the original lyrics @2:17 and it's a tv performance, kinda cool considering the song was censored as a single on the radio at the time.

[jason69332]

even put adds on this tossers. wankers

[TheMadamGeorge]

Need tosee You Van -Please call and leave a number where I can reach You so we can re_unite, as You said you want to do...Yours truly, your lost one and only old child, Madam George...

Once I really reach You again, I can quickly proove to You, that it really is Me,...Your long lost little girl, Madam George..

[TARDISdriver97]

there may be a few people out there that know what i'm talking about when i say that it looks like he is inside the TARDIS

[debandmember]

This is fake..



[LanManBanan]

lol he's mad because of 1:36

[SwiftySwormsOfSwill]

this is so lip synched. he looks very uncomfortable.

[jadeNyC718]

@SwiftySwormsOfSwill Doesn't he, he's looking at the wall , the audience looks a bit uncomfortable too. Perhaps he was high. He looks so spaced out. It was the 60's so I'm betting he was high.

[Blues353]

Hey Rodrigo....kinda spoils it.

[hawklady14]

Now, this is a great video! Van Morrison looks "spiffy" in his '60's duds, and he singing with his usual "disconnected" style. You gotta wonder what is on his mind when he sings. Great composer and musician for many years!

[therealraybaby]

#285(Tie)

[impassable]

This is for you Sarah Palin, you're our brown eyed girl baby

[TriGaming115]

@impassable F**K Sarah Palin

[soulsie9]

Van Morrison = beastly form of god

[mckessa17]

This is actually pretty cool......

[barnett8700]

Van not interested

[Themanwhocameback2]

Of course it's lip synched. Everything was in 1967, and for years to come. AND people dressed up to see a performer, and especially when it was going to be on television. What's so funny about that? It was merely showing respect for the singer, and the occasion.

[854RRR]

I really believe he's lipsynching to his studio version here...and the crowd shots are sooooo funny with guys in sportcoats and ties!

[JohnnyLackland]

The best boyfriend/girlfriend song ever recorded.

[MrStratocaster1949]

Great stage presence???

[MrWrldpce]

"goodbye bitch,bye bitch,bye bitch,bye bitch,bye bitch! sha la la la la la la la la.....

[tommy1gtr]

1:38 is that asian guy getting pissed at that girl?! lol!!!

[tofer33]

@tommy1gtr i think someone pinched his ass hah

[PAULLONDEN]

@tommy1gtr ...No,probably the dude behind his back,that tried to pull the girl."Just Like That".2:26..looks quite pissed off...he's probably suspecting the guys behind his back,are making a fool of him.

[00TheTripleGuru00]

@tommy1gtr because she aint a brown eyed gal! ahah

[vonaly]

@tommy1gtr He still looks upset at 2:25...get over it man! LOL!

[danno698299]

@tommy1gtr Looks like it! When they show him again around 2:30 he still looks pissed. I think the guys sitting behind him might have been messing with him and that girl

[JackSpicerISADOUCHE]

2:28 the Asian guy looks so unimpressed..soo funny!

[MrJoeydano]

Not anal but your first Girl friend in the school yard Ass Hole !!!

[MrJoeydano]

One on the most played covers ever ! Love it !!!

[Xaviertastic]

is this song about anal sex?

[BlackorWhite0920]

I'm a brown eyed girl! :)

[BlackorWhite0920]

I'm a brown-eyed girl! :D

[LiquidGardener]

@bthor76: No, he's not really an asshole. I've had the pleasure to meet Van many times over the years. Yes, he can be very moody, but treat him with respect and he'll return that feeling. He's not fond of crowds/meeting people, so that may play a part in his perceived emotion. Odd, yes, for a stage performer, but nonetheless. I chatted with him once at a bar in a club where he was performing, and I stand by my continued respect and admiration for him.......

[guccimanloflow]

whats wrong with the gook around 1:33 ?

[bthor76]

Even back then he looked like such an arogant, cocky little fuck and that his behaviour continued to get worse as he got older. Like this song but he's is really a total asshole.

[pimpedvw]

Lip sync it.

[tigranvartanovitch]

Looks like it's filmed in the TARDIS.

[vevejay]

It was one thing having my car broken into but when they stole my Van Morrison Collection that really upset me especially when I couldnt listen to My Brown eyed girl. Thanks for posting.

[Jackinaplane]

2:27 Asian Swag LOL

[MrAllprimedup]

I wish music was still like this today !

[QcKekesi]

Thumbs up if your girlfriend is a brown eyed girl! :)

[musicloverofthe70s80]

she was my brown eyed girl first love this tune

[nyepenman]

Van doesn't like to lipsynch =].

[Krikt26138]

@nyepenman i know rite! lol he doesnt look happy at all

[davidmalton2]

LOOKS LIKE A YOUNG VINCE McMHAN, OFF OF THE WWF........

[davidmalton2]

IF HE'S THAT GOOD WHY IS HE MIMING.......

[TroutMaskReplicaa]

poor, vulnerable, shy van.

[Delila310]

Yesterdays music was wonderful because of great talent, today's so called singers have no talent, they have to sell from visual stimulant, (make them look great and they dont need talent) I prefere great talent.

[byf43]

@Delila310 I agree. Today they filter the sound and it's all about equipment, "image" and stage performance crew. Take away all that and lets see if the superstars are still super...

[MrRichter666]

@Delila310 I'm totally agree with you, this genariton of 0's sucks, I wish I would have a time machine so I would ear good musi...

[MrRichter666]

@MrRichter666 musi sorry music

[l0lr0flm40]

@Delila310 Theres PLEEEEENTY of talented singers these days as well ;)

[mess9u2]

@Delila310 I agree, they wrote music back in the day and we all sang along! Today I want to throw -up at the Crap MUSIC!!!

[brightchance]

Yes I am his brown eyed girl!!

[brightchance]

My Man!!!!!!!

[jeff191990]

Makes u just want to sit back and do the natural thing......Jeff

[McHunter111]

im only in my 20s but i think 60s girls are soo hot

[04mosroc]

hell i would for the hair

[spiek56]

I'd pay cash money for that jacket.

[evilthesaurus]

he's so good but he looks so bored!

[thug4life2005]

Awesome song but at the beginning he looked toasted

[QcKekesi]

@1:36 something happened with the asian dude but what??? :P

[cherthejoy]

@QcKekesi Seriously was going to make a comment about that. Almost looks like "yayyy swaying... (sway too hard and knock him) oh hell naw girl you didn't"

[kaoskev93]

asian dude having ZERO fun at 2:29 ha

[DIEGOBOXING]

@kaoskev93 perhaps only a depressed guy

[OtadzbinaiKrv]

@kaoskev93 Maybe he's Vietnamese, there was a war in his country when this song came out

[EthanHollowaymusic]

@OtadzbinaiKrv that's what i was thinking.  :/

[baronvg]

@kaoskev93 What the hell was the director thinking, cutting to that shot? Sure the girls were having fun and clapping along, but the Asian guy RUINS the shot! lol

[freexky]

@kaoskev93 see the reason at 1:36

[dominikanizima]

@kaoskev93 Dude don't understand, thats why.. LOL

[chinaman471]

Van Morrison suffers even now to this day tremendous stage fright....

[Deadjam5862]

he just looks...uncomfortable

[tomdemille]

he is lip syncing and probably pissed about it

[speeshoJ]

HE LOOKS SCARED. HEHE

[wyzapple]

The 'real' Kelso @ 1:00

[GoobsMineCraft]

What the hell is he looking at?

[greenfulvia]

omg i just realised sixtiespopgold3 uploaded this on my bday!!

[tyknos93]

This was orginally called brown skinned girl right?

[maricelstrauss1971]

Hey i love you

[tomboharrison]

great song :D shame he is always stoned when he sings though

[SeaCadet263]

Looks like Austin Powers.

[lucas07700]

@SeaCadet263 it seems u never watched Austin Powers.

[thedarkesthole]

@SeaCadet263 why is it dumb people who have no knowledge of history always associate the sixties with austin powers...its a sixties spoof. this doesn't look like austin powers. austin powers tries to look like this. and besides, it doesn't even. Stop ruining this great peice of history with your modernized hollywood image they've drilled into your head

[missydilly]

@thedarkesthole calm down

[greenfulvia]

Was he lip-synching or is it delayed? He looks really miffed anywayz ;)

[1985MANAmericana]

@greenfulvia lipped

[boogiedahomey]

Thumbs up if you've brown-eyed your girl : )

[TheAquacrest]

? why are they all mad?

[namesuser1590]

dam this gives me the shivers.. i don't know whos more awkward? The singer or the crowd.

[NoRosesForMe]

@namesuser1590 Yea Van was prolly awkward cuz he had to lip-synch. Damn AmeriKcan Bandstand.....lame.....but at least we have this footage of Van. So cute and real and more meaningful than most garbage of that time......and this time NOW. Am I right?

[carlsperr]

@NoRosesForMe With the shit they call "music" now and you call music from then garbage what a laugh!!!!

[NoRosesForMe]

@carlsperr what the hell are ya talkin about there chubs?! I would NEVER call THIS garbage. I dont remember what I said in my last comment but you obviously misunderstood me! ...ffs....*sigh*

[NoRosesForMe]

@carlsperr I read my last comment...I meant the sugar coated, bubble gum GARBAGE from those days,,,,same difference....a terd is still shit. VAN aint shit tho. anyway,,,bye bye

[pabulum28]

I know this was commented on and explained a lot below (because of the lip synching etc) but it's funny how so many people look pissed off in this video/performance, to such a things-are-so-looking-up song. Van's pissed, the white guy is pissed, the Asian kid is pissed, it's like ironically awesome. It's like Adam Sandler singing miserably to Madonna's "Holiday" in The Wedding Singer.

[TheLadyjazzy1]

WOW!! SO YOUNG THERE!! I WAS TOO!!

[hantonioea]

this is dthe diffierent of new music, the musician. now the singers and the musician, they are so worried to look so cool on tv, the spent to much time in stupid things. Look van morrison ihe neraly look like a maniqui in this video, but who cares about that, we only want good music , real writers

[Coldfusion226]

@hantonioea what language you speaking?

[EmmaTaylor0526]

I love that asian kid lolololol

[forestryprof]

Morrison was/is autistic.

[MrGuitarphenomenon]

Freakin ads man, I don't want to hear a gay song about windex before I listen to Van Morrison.

[MsRiddler1234]

@MrGuitarphenomenon fuck you this song is awsome

[MrGuitarphenomenon]

@MsRiddler1234 I know this song is awesome, I said I hate the ads that youtube does on the videos. I was also implying sarcasm about how they ruined Van Morrison with a windex song. I believe you were confused.

[4PAMMERS84]

LOL @the awkward asian kid at 2:25

[joydarling314]

Thumbs up if your brown eyed girl:)

[weatherboi]

@joydarling314 Your're, not your

[10shutt]

@weatherboi You're,not your're

[SuperDelta456]

@joydarling314 Thumbs up if you're together with one

[SuperAlienCat]

2:25 I'm not sure how to relate to that nonchalant/depressed/linguisti­cally-unsapient person in the audience, but I sure have felt like that more than enow times in my life.

[JaranMcCawSongz]

he doesn't look like he's enjoying himself much.

[werytraveler]

@JaranMcCawSongz It's becouse he's lip singing and would rather be jammin' for real.

[jameslick80]

Shut all you MOES and just listen. It plays & you're still talking about it today.

[twolungz]

kewl



[guitarr44]

Nice tongue

[nea300]

THE WONDER YEARS

[KaTiEDoo1985]

I LOVE the song, but how did Van Morrison mess up so many words of his own son? LOL. It's hilarious how many words he stumbled over

[leavenothing100]

i can't help but think that having been born in 1994, i missed quite an era...

[KathyKate100]

I think I recognize a friend in the "audience". Wowser!

[biohazardsoldierPMK]

Speaking as a musician, I hate this song. Every gig some chick with brown eyes yells this song.

[flyingtiger1996]

he seemed very uncomfortable
