1416 - The Doors Touch Me 1968

"Touch Me" is a song by The Doors from their album The Soft Parade. Written by Robby Krieger, it is notable for its extensive usage of brass and string instruments (including a solo by featured saxophonist Curtis Amy). The song was given a baroque feel thanks to the pairing of Manzarek's harpsichord with a full orchestra.

1283 - The Doors Five To One 1968

"Five to one" is rumored to be the approximate ratio of whites to blacks, young to old, or pot smokers to non-pot smokers in the US in 1967, depending on whom you ask. A further urban legend has it as the ratio of Viet Cong to American troops in Vietnam. However, when asked, Jim Morrison said the lyrics were not political. This would seem quite likely, at least for part of the song: "Your ballroom days are over baby Night is drawing near Shadows of the evening crawl across the years" which is patently lifted from the c19th hymnal and bedtime rhyme "Now the Day is Over" ("Now the day is over/Night is drawing nigh/Shadows of the evening/Steal across the sky") for whatever reason of Morrison's. The opening part ("Yeah, c'mon - I love my girl. She lookin' good...") is some of Jim's nonsensical drunk rambling. Morrison got the idea for this while waiting in the audience before performing a concert in 1967. On bootlegs of live recordings, Morrison included the phrase "fucked up" in the spoken word section at the end. He frequently swore at live shows, but the studio albums were originally either curse-free or censored. The song's most famous performance was at the 1969 Miami concert at the Dinner Key Auditorium. Towards the end of the performance, a drunken Morrison declared the audience "idiots" and "slaves". The concert would end with Morrison being accused of "attempting to incite a riot" among the concert goers, resulting in his arrest, and later conviction, for indecent exposure.

1176 - The Doors People Are Strange 1967

"People Are Strange" is a single released by The Doors in September 1967 from their second album "Strange Days".
According to its Allmusic review, the song "reflects the group's fascination with the theatrical music of European cabaret". The song is about alienation and being an outsider, and Jim Morrison may have addressed the song both to the hippie culture, to outsiders in general, and/or to users of drugs such as LSD. The song came about in early 1967 after guitarist Robby Krieger and a depressed Morrison had walked to the top of Laurel Canyon. Drummer John Densmore believes that the song was the manifestation of Morrison's "vulnerability".

937 - The Doors Light My Fire 1967

"The Doors" is the self-titled debut album by the band The Doors, recorded in 1966 and released in 1967. It features the breakthrough single "Light My Fire", extended with a substantial instrumental section mostly omitted on the single release.
The song originated as a Robby Krieger unfinished composition, which the other band members then expanded upon.
"Light My Fire" was performed by The Doors on a famous appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show September 17, 1967. In an oft-told legend, The Doors were asked to change the lyrics of the song (specifically, the line "girl, we couldn't get much higher"). The producers told Morrison to write a new lyric for the line, but he refused.

775 - The Doors Roadhouse Blues 1970

"Roadhouse Blues" is a blues-rock song written and recorded by the American rock band The Doors. The song, which appeared on the B-side of "You Make Me Real", was first released as a single from the album Morrison Hotel in March 1970.

678 - The Doors LA Woman 1971

"L.A. Woman" was the last Doors album released with Jim Morrison before his death, in July 1971. The album's style is arguably the most blues-like of the band's catalogue.
The song, written by Morrison, describes a journey through Los Angeles, California. The lyrics mention, among other things, bungalows, strip clubs, cops, and various other sights that Los Angeles has to offer. L.A. is referred to as City of Night, the name of a book by novelist John Rechy. Near the end of the song, Morrison introduces his alter ego, "Mr. Mojo Risin'". ("Mr. Mojo Risin'" is an anagram of "Jim Morrison.") It is also theorized that the lyrics refer to Diane Gardner, publicist for the Doors, to whom Morrison addressed many of his poems.
