About "One Two Brown Eyes"
"One Two Brown Eyes" is a song written by Van Morrison, originally recorded by his group Them in 1964. After leaving an Irish showband, Morrison returned to his hometown of Belfast, where he joined up with guitarist Billy Harrison, bassist Alan Henderson and keyboardist Eric Wrixon and formed the band that would eventually become Them. "One Two Brown Eyes" most likely originated during jam sessions at the Maritime Hotel where Them had a residency. After featuring it on a demo, Them were signed to Decca Records by Dick Rowe who also produced the studio recording of it on 5 May 1964.
Noted for its bossa nova and calypso beats, "One Two Brown Eyes" has often been considered "proto-psychedelic" by critics, largely owing to Harrison's performance, where he emulated a slide guitar using a thimble. Morrison's vocal performance on the song has been considered "menacing", while the lyrical content has been called "typical" of his writing. Decca Records released "One Two Brown Eyes" as the B-side of "Don't Start Crying Now" as Them's debut single on 4 September 1964. Despite being a commercial failure, the song has received praise by critics and is considered an influence on other bands, including the Doors
