Our local art gallery (Art Gallery of Ontario) has a few handwritten Doors lyrics on display — part of an eye-poppingly great exhibit of psychedelic rock posters. I was surprised to find Jim's handwriting cursive, neat and regular. Louche rock icon or whatever, he was still the product of a 1950s education when schools still took handwriting seriously

I sometimes don't know what people are referring to when they talk about "swinging," but "Love Me Two Times" certainly has a swing beat. I'll try to think of some others.

I was listening to Mazzy Star last night and thought about The Doors. They get into a sweet kind of "The End" zone occasionally.

Also as far as denmore swinging, I wanna tell you about Texas radio and the big beat

i was talking to a friend the other day about how i like doors knockoffs better than i like the doors themselves. your faves?

There's a song I remember from an old psych comp called "The Black Door" by the Loose Enz that's a really obvious Doors knockoff, but I don't know. Mostly, the Doors strike me as being pretty singular.

Alice Cooper, "Blue Turk"

xp re: Mazzy, 'Ghost Highway' feel like a Doors homage to me.

that mazzy star song sounds more like "idiot joy showland" than the doors!

"Touch Me" is awesome, great vocal, Alfred is full of it.

I first heard this song when a girl put it on a mixtape for me in high school. I eventually got the message she was sending, but the young ilxor in me couldn't get over how contemptibly cheesy it was. What was this Butt Bacharach shit?
― how's life, Monday, 23 April 2018 10:25 (six years ago) link
Now, as a mature ILXor, you accept cheese.

oh ffs, "butt Bacharach" was autocorrect.
― how's life, Monday, 23 April 2018 11:04 (six years ago) link
Beyond the great vocal, “Touch Me” has a genuinely groovy instrumental breakdown...

Every time this thread gets bumped I fear that Jim has died
― calstars, Monday, 23 April 2018 15:37 (six years ago) link
Jim cannot die, in the moments prior to the death of "body", more aptly described as his terrestrial flesh vehicle, his soul BREAKS ON THROUGH to his next host shell.
Best Band Ever.

"Touch Me" is great. So sleazy.

Touch Me is a little like one of those corny Strokes songs (in a good way).

We found a finally spot to kick itWhere we can drink liquor and no one bickers over trick shitA spot where we can smoke in peace, and even though we G'sWe still visualize places that we can roll in peaceAnd in my mind's eye, I see this place the players go and pass itI got a spot for us all, so we can ball, at thug's mansion

The Doors have a surprisingly large amount of Vegas/crooner songs. Touch Me is probably the most famous. On some others, notably Wishful Sinful on The Soft Parade, you can hear the disgust in his voice.
