Brown Eyed Girl» es una canción del músico norirlandés Van Morrison publicada en el álbum de 1967 Blowin' Your Mind.

Compuesta y grabada en 1967 por Van Morrison y producida por Bert Berns, "Brown Eyed Girl" fue publicada en mayo de 1967 como primer sencillo del álbum Blowin' Your Mind!, debutando en el puesto 8 de la lista estadounidense Cashbox y en el 10 en Billboard Hot 100.
​
Paul Williams, creador de Crawdaddy, incluyó "Brown Eyed Girl" en su libro Rock and Roll: The Best 100 Singles,​ escribiendo:

"Iba a decir que es una canción sobre sexo, y lo es, y una canción sobre la juventud y la adolescencia, y la memoria, y es también -mucho y maravillosamente- una canción sobre el cantar".

La versión original de "Brown Eyed Girl" es ampliamente conocida debido a su gran radiodifusión en cadenas de temas clásicos y de "oldies". En este sentido, figura en el puesto 4 de las canciones más puestas por pinchadiscos tanto en 2006 como en 2007.

En 2005, Van Morrison recibió un certificado por la difusión en más de siete millones de ocasiones de "Brown Eyed Girl" a través de canales de radio y televisión de Estados Unidos. Nuevamente en 2007, Morrison fue galardonado con un certificado por la difusión en más de 8 millones de ocasiones de "Brown Eyed Girl". La única canción de un compositor europeo que supera esta cifra corresponde a "Every Breath You Take", de The Police, con 9 millones.

"Brown Eyed Girl" fue también publicada en los álbumes recopilatorios de 1990 The Best of Van Morrison y de 2007 Van Morrison at the Movies - Soundtrack Hits y Still on Top - The Greatest Hits. 

Sendas versiones en directo fueron también publicadas en el álbum de edición limitada de 2006 Live at Austin City Limits Festival y en la reedición del doble álbum en directo de 1974 It's Too Late to Stop Now. Aquí tenemos la versión de The Strex

"Video Killed the Radio Star" is a song written by Trevor Horn, Geoff Downes and Bruce Woolley in 1978. It was first recorded by Bruce Woolley and The Camera Club (with Thomas Dolby on keyboards) for their album English Garden, and later by British group The Buggles, consisting of Horn and Downes. The track was recorded and mixed in 1979, released as their debut single on 7 September 1979 by Island Records, and included on their first album The Age of Plastic. The backing track was recorded at Virgin's Town House in West London, and mixing and vocal recording would later take place at Sarm East Studios.

Like all the other tracks from the LP, "Video"'s theme was promotion of technology while worrying about its effects. This song relates to concerns about mixed attitudes towards 20th-century inventions and machines for the media arts. Musically, the song performs like an extended jingle and the composition plays in the key of D-flat major in common time at a tempo of 132 beats per minute. The track has been positively received, with reviewers praising its unusual musical pop elements. Although the song includes several common pop characteristics and six basic chords are used in its structure, Downes and writer Timothy Warner described the piece as musically complicated, due to its use of suspended and minor ninth chords for enhancement that gave the song a "slightly different feel."

Commercially, "Video Killed the Radio Star" was also a success. The track topped sixteen international music charts, including the official singles charts of the group's home country of the UK and other nations such as Australia, Austria, France, Italy Ireland, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland, as well as the Japanese Oricon International Chart. It also peaked within the top 10 in Canada, Germany, New Zealand and South Africa, the top 20 in Belgium and the Netherlands, and barely in the top 40 in the United States.

The song's music video was written, directed, and edited by Russell Mulcahy, and is well-remembered as the first music video shown on MTV in the United States at 12:01am on 1 August 1981, and the first video shown on MTV Classic in the United Kingdom on 1 March 2010. The song has received several critical accolades, such as being ranked number 40 on VH1's 100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders of the '80s. It has been covered by many recording artists. Trevor Horn has done performances of the song, both at Buggles reunion performances and with The Producers, since 1998.

And Introducing, on backup vocals, it’s Mary Wilson! Wilson achieved fame and fortune as one third of Motown powerhouses The Supremes — but the schemings of lead singer Diana Ross shattered Mary’s confidence as the group’s star rose through the 60s. We’re learning about her fulfilled dreams, her dashed hopes, and her long road toward self-actualization in her memoir Dreamgirl: My Life as a Supreme.
