We must admit that before seeing Mayer Hawthorne’s new video for “Green Eyed Love” we had been naive enough to think it was a love song for a beautiful … well … green eyed girl! Perhaps Scarlett Johansson? Lindsay Lohan? Rihanna? Charlize Theron?

Nope! Mayer is swooning over his absinthe fix … and now we have all sorts of doubts about our favorite Van Morrison karaoke tune.

AND as a special treat we’re also gonna share a remix with you from one of our favorite production duos, Classixx.
