Owing to a contract he signed with Bang Records without legal advice, Morrison states he has never received any royalties for writing or recording this song.[16] The contract made him liable for virtually all recording expenses incurred for all of his
Bang Records recordings before royalties would be paid and later, after the expenses were recouped, they would become the "subject of some highly creative accounting."[17] Morrison vented frustration about this unjust contract in his sarcastic nonsense
song "The Big Royalty Check." Morrison has stated that "Brown Eyed Girl" is not among his favourite songs, remarking "it's not one of my best. I mean I've got about 300 songs that I think are better".[18]
