Entre_Perpetuo Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Upcoming song vs song matchup on my favorite podcast. Thought this would be a fun one to pitch on here. Which one do you prefer? And why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Carmina Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Van Morrison every time. Great voice; nice lyrics without being insipid. Funkier groove. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) Happy Together is one of my favorite oldies radio songs I was exposed to as a kid when mom played the ratio station around me. Apparently, even Van has disowned Brown Eyed Girl. Edited April 24 by invisible airwave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Of the two, I enjoy Happy Together more, but the enduring popular appeal of Brown Eyed Girl is undeniable. As for Van disavowed his most popular song, . He's ever the dick, isn't he. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepphead Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I have voted 'no choice' purely because I don't recall ever hearing the Turtles' song. The band probably are not so well known in the UK so unfair to vote otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you listen to the song on YouTube, it's a good bet you may have heard the song, but didn't realise what it is... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Aubrey Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) Brown Eyed Girl was the first song My Sweet Bride and I danced to as husband and wife at our Wedding. To this day, I get goosebumps whenever I hear it. Edited April 26 by Jack Aubrey 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Happy Together annoys me -- the lyrics, the chorus, the way the verses are sung, the whole song. BYG is not my favorite Van Morrison tune, but it's tough to vote against Van. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Happy Together gets my vote. The only song I like from Van is TB Sheets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzy85 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I love the Turtles. They're silly. Happy Together was a good song with Frank Zappa,I liked when two of the Turtles joined Zappa. Kinda tired of Brown Eyed Girl. Even though I'm a bass player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
