BROWN-EYED GIRL

I happened to mention this song in class today, as an example of how creative the English language is when it comes to coining adjectives. I really like this song (what else, Van Morrison is one of the "Big' uns"), and I think it's a good thing that students have a chance to listen to it. Now, don't tell me it's not a wonderful song...

The Man Who Sold The World

Well, since we are studying relatives, this song came to my mind, because it has a relative clause in the title. It is actually a David Bowie song, but I really like the unplugged version that Nirvana played for MTV. I hope you like it too. I include a link for the lyrics below. By the way, can you tell if the relative clause in the title is defining or non-defining? Feel free to comment.
