In Reply to: Favorite DOORS songs? posted by Evan Nash on January 20, 2003 at 03:12:41:
That song is maddening! I totally love it!
It was actually part of a much, much longer piece inspired by one of Jim's longer poems called "The Celebration Of The Lizard". They ended up just putting the small "NTTTE" part of it on the "Waiting For The Sun" LP, but they did include the entire "Celebration" lyrics on the album sleeve.
But they did start performing the entire "The Celebration Of The Lizard" in concert, and they put it on the double live LP they put out in 1970.
Some of my other favorite Doors songs are:
Waiting For The Sun
Peace Frog
Queen Of The Highway (really, practically everything from "Morrison Hotel")
I Can't See Your Face In My Mind (Strange Days LP)
When The Music's Over (also, Strange Days)
End Of The Night (The Doors)
The Crystal Ship (The Doors)
Wild Child (The Soft Parade)
Crawling King Snake (L.A. Woman)
Those are the songs less obvious to the masses who only know "greatest hits". Some of the big hits I love, too, but I don't need to mention them.
