There is a fairly well-known rumor/urban legend that Van Morrison’s song “Brown-Eyed Girl” is about anal sex. Google “brown-eyed girl anal” to see near the top of the list a website that breaks it down lyric by lyric. And of course, in David Alan Coe’s song (popularized by Johnny Paycheck), where is it that the singer wants to “Take This Job And Shove It”? I apologize if this was not apparent, but **John DiFool** did say “How your choice relates to the previous one is all up to you.” We still playing? ---
