Ever hear that song? The other song by Don McClean of "American Pie" fame? It's called "Starry, Starry Night" and it's about painter Vincent Van Gogh.
Anyway, these sunglasses make me think of a starry night. What about you? What do they remind you of?

"Starry starry night,
paint your palette blue and grey
Look out on a summers day
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
in colors on the snowy linen land"

Is that the song you mean, dontblink?

It's actually called "Vincent" and its a beautiful song. I also heard it sung by a woman with some kind of South American accent. Beautiful.

The sunglasses are beautiful, too. They do remind me of a starlit sky.

Thank you, Rose Tyler. That's exactly the song I was referring to.

Inspired, of course, by Dutch painter Vincent Van Gough.

I wonder if the sunglasses were also inspired by Dutch painter Vincent Van Gough?

I tried to find who the girl with the accent was, but when I looked up the song I found that almost 30 artists have covered this song, including Vonda Shepherd, Tori Amos, Julie Andrews, Julio Iglesias and even Rick "Howdy Doody" Astley.

That's quite a legacy.

Rick Astley covered "Vincent"?

I bet he's flipping burgers now.

Not that there's anything wrong with that . . .
