I have such a goofy, old-fashioned, maiden-aunt name that it's funny to me that Hazel hs been used in three songs. Oh and the lyrics are so spot-on in every case. Riiight!

I like the name. I like hazels, witch-hazel was always in my mother's medicine cabinet, my sister was born in Hazlewood Castle, my grandfather taught me how to weave stems of growing hazels to make a shelter. the nuts are good too, if I can beat the damn squirrels to them.
