I bet most of you assumed I was talking about “Brown Eyed Girl.” Sure, that one’s a gimme. But have you actually looked at this guy’s discography? For shame:

“The Back Room”
“Take Me Back”
“Goin’ Down Geneva”
“Foreign Window”
“Moondance”
“Rough God Goes Riding” (album: The Healing Game)
“My Bucket’s Got a Hole In It”
“Oh the Warm Feeling”
“Come Running”
“Take It Where You Find It”
“Wherever God Shines His Light”
“Close Enough for Jazz”

And those are just titles. I mean, you might think you’re safe with a song called, say, “Astral Weeks.” You are so not:

If I ventured in the slipstreamBetween the viaducts of your dreamWhere immobile steel rims crackAnd the ditch in the back roads stopFrom the far side of the oceanIf I put the wheels in motionAnd I stand with my arms behind meAnd I’m pushin’ on the door

Really, George Ivan? Really?
