It always cracks me up when you guys fall into the trap of trying to understand the lyrics of a song, that you actually can miss the song.....sometimes you have to sit back and simply absorb great music and sounds.
I rarely knew what those songs meant. I have to watch reaction videos 45 to 55 years later to find out.
They did Funkytown and Brad actually asked where Funkytown was...smh.
Totally agree. Most of these songs meant nothing. The lyrics were the last things they thought about. It’s all about the music!
They always do that. And they rarely get the meaning of most songs even the obvious ones seem to elude them. Or they just go way too far our t here in an assumption
@@brainscott8198 No way...really?
I LOVE THE DOORS!!!
Brad & Lex, you’ll love their “Hello, I Love You”!!
That’s a good choice !! 👍🏻🎶
@@dankelly5150 thank you!!
What a great band! Been listening to them from inception!
"STRONGER THAN DIRT!" was from an Ajax Cleanser commercial.
amazing in reality we use to drive around listening to the Doors stoned out of our minds- blessed with great music - crazy to even think we did that now. it was the 70s when we didnt even know what a seatbelt was- rolled down the window as smoke poured out " yes officer"! One time on Daytona beach where you drive on the beach got stopped the days where you carried a large bag and the cops took the pot an went on his merry way-in those days 1977 they just pocketed it for themselves!Love The Doors❣
Ah the good old days.
Linda,
How true.
Back then, I use to have these 2 under cover cops, that any time they saw me.
They would pull me over and take my weed.
Because I always had good shit. Most the time Thai sticks.
I bet, over a couple years, they took over a pound from me.
They never asked for ID or anything. They would just say where is it ?
And I would give it to them and they would say thanks.
And leave.
Those were the days.
Now a days, all the cops want to do is f#$k up your life as much as they can.
Or kill you.
Damn stoner......
@@gregmacklin9758 ,
Still am, at 65.
But now I grow all my own.
And the cops can't take it.
LMFAO 🤣😆.
@@assog5737 I got my "green card" now but i swear its not the same= well not swear it really is not the same- weak has anyone experienced this- I buy the pot with the highest THC they have that on the label still disappointing😊
Those last four notes were taken from a commercial that ran constantly on television at the time they were recording this song. It was Ajax laundry detergent and the last three words of the commercial's jingle was "Stronger than dirt." If you listen to the song again you'll hear it clearly.
Yes, more Doors is always a good thing. About time for you 2 to try their epic, When the Music's Over, so Doors and everyone gets to shine in it as they stretch music boundaries back in the day and is an utter classic. You will get lost in this song! Enjoy. 🎵🎹🎤🎸🎶
I keep begging them to do that song. To me, that is THE song that epitomizes The Doors.
HOW IN THE WORLD, have you guys not done any Earth, Wind, and Fire?!?!?! They have a dozen solid hits. Timeless.
Purchased This 45 when it was new, the bass was so punchy on it, lots of times the record would skip, the needle would jump the grooves. We had to tape a nickel or quarter to the tone arm to keep it playing !! What a memory!! You guys rock
I had this on 45 as well.
The last line is, "Stronger than dirt!" Oddly a commercial tag line for a laundry detergent.
The Doors and Halloween go great together
The Doors and Jim Morrison actually influenced a lot of gothic, post-punk bands in the future. Slower darker, eerie, jumpy music and lyrics. And Morrison's deep, monotone/flat, darker vocal singing style. Fits the Halloween vibes. jaja.
Bauhaus and ICP (Insane Clown Posse) are 2 more bands that are Halloween-y 🤡🤡🤡
@@jkbezo1 Iggy Pop and Alice Cooper are two that come to mind.
Touch me brrr
Ghost Song by the doors . a great song
I've been envious of Morrison's voice on this song for 54 years. Wish I could sing a lick, but it's never been and will never be.
From Songfacts: Doors guitarist Robby Krieger wrote this song as "Hit Me," based on fights he had with his girlfriend. The lyric was, "C'mon, hit me, I'm not afraid." In a rare show of restraint, Jim Morrison insisted on changing it to "Touch Me."
Many critics claimed this was a sellout, as the horn and string sections were not typical of The Doors. The band admitted they were trying to broaden their audience and achieve commercial success with this album, which they did.
That makes total sense. I always wondered why he'd be afraid of being touched. PS is also makes the rest of the song make more sense.
What a voice he had for his age.. he was about 24 here. Jim Morrison, gone but never forgotten..
Morrison is the only singer that I've ever heard that has a scream that sounds so good on the ears. And came from the heavens.
Been waiting for somebody to finally get around to this one! Thank u guys!
YEAH Micheal❣
The last words are: "Stronger than dirt". The Doors did not allow there songs to used in commercials and a laundry detergent company wanted to use a Doors song and they said "No". They then went and used the tag line at this end of this song to give them the finger I guess.
I remember the commercials for Ajax, Stronger than Dirt
They actually borrowed it from the Ajax commercial, which came first
@@mrsecretg1 Yep, way first. czcams.com/video/EFZK5VkQes4/video.html
@@mrsecretg1 exactly!
As much as I loved the doors, I did not know that period but I thank you for that bit of information , that took me 20 plus years yes to discover. Lol. Well like my fire was used In a car commercial. What's Jim wasn't too happy about. By this time their name was household, and the rest of the group started seeing more economic commore economics, than the message in their music. What Morrison was the underated darling genius, of the group. Who used his lyricism, and transcenderal poetry, to push their message.
My favorite song by the Doors. The last line was “Stronger than dirt”, a line from a detergent commercial from the 60s. I think it was Ajax 🤔
Love the drums on this song 🔥 and the lyrics are so beautiful “ I’m gonna love you till the heavens stop the rain. Im gonna love you till the stars fall from the sky “ ❤
The song is from the band's fourth album The Soft Parade, where they had several tracks using strings and horns in the background, and overall the production and band sound was tighter and more pop-oriented. Some critics trashed the band for this approach, but they were just experimenting and trying out different sounds, rather than staying dark and spooky all the time. According to drummer John Densmore, George Harrison actually dropped by the studio during a horn and string overdub and told The Doors that it reminded him of the Sgt. Pepper sessions.
They didn't understand that The Doors would never be confined.
I agree. I am currently reading John Densmore's book "Rider's on the Storm" and he goes into detail about the making of this album. I find The Doors music fascinating. Love this song, along with many of their other non hits. My favourite album is Morrison Hotel.
This is one of their classics. It's an odd one because it has a bit of a Big Band feel and crooner vibe.
This is My favorite Doors song. This to me is his Elvis tribute lol.
John Densmore's drum work on this song is top notch. He showed off his jazz chops and kept the song in the realm of The Doors (from which the horns, the violins, and the sax solo tend to move the song away).
It was simply amazing to listen to The Doors, watch them live and to see Manzarek, Densmore and Krieger adapt to the wild man that was Jim Morrison. Great musicians. Peace out.
Stronger than dirt, at the end what it says
Yes from a commercial for Ajax I think
At the end they sang "Stronger Than Dirt".
The song was written by the guitar player Robbie Krieger, His original lyrics for it was come on now hit me Babe. Jim changed it to touch me because he said we can't have the song saying hit me so how about we do touch me babe. BTW Robbie is also the one that wrote their 1st number 1 hit light my fire, Which he also coined that phrase
And Jim famously sang cmon cmon cmon cmon now suck me baby at one concert (Miami).
The last 4 notes of the song, "Stronger than dirt", was used to end a laundry detergent TV ad years ago.
consider that the Doors were part of a changing rock and roll scene. Rock was still in it's infancy at this time. Forget that now you are used to 50 + years of growth in rock music, and think of what was new at the time this came out... It was new and mesmerizing to us
I'd say rock was in its adolescence at this point, perhaps stepping from adolescence into the teen years. Turned adult after Altamont.
such a good classic!
Ya know some times the song is the song the meaning is up front and right on point ✌️
Doors producer Paul Rothchild added the "stronger than dirt" line at the end from a TV commercial at the time. It is not on the 45 rpm single mix from December 1968. The Doors guitar player wrote this song after an argument with his girlfriend. She said "go on, go on you know you want to punch me babe". The lyrics makes more sense if you know that but they changed to to touch me as domestic violence does not sell records. This was a #1 hit in late 1968 around Christmas.
This song would totally work in a Las Vegas live melody. Hell, I'd pay for the ticket. I've never even been to Las Vegas. Come on now, that horn at the end? This song jams.
Love Jim and his presence
My favorite Doors song by far
My favorite Doors song!
In the end he sings "stronger than dirt" lol. Apparently that's from a commercial which I find really funny!
great song, glad I mentioned this ages ago
There's a lot of Jazz in this, which the drummer and possibly the keyboardist were trained in.
This song shows what a nice voice Jim Morrison had…one of my favorites!
This is from the group's fourth album ("The Soft Parade") and producer Paul Rothchild wanted to change up the sound a bit, so they incorporated more brass and strings. The saxophone here is by Curtis Amy, who was the musical director for Ray Charles and later played with Carole King.
The band had come off of a long hard tour, so Jim didn't do as much of the songwriting. Thus there were more straight-ahead rockers written by guitarist Robbie Krieger. This is not the album where the group hired Elvis Presley's bassist, Jerry Scheff (remember, the Doors did not have a regular bass player), but I could totally see this as an Elvis song.
If you like hearing Jim backed with strings, check out "Tell All The People" from the same album. It sounds like a Mahavishnu Orchestra track.
OTOH, if you want to hear one of Jim's big poetry improvisations, the title track ("The Soft Parade") is another classic, like "The End" and "When the Music's Over". But since you've shortened your reactions lately, I don't know if you're still covering longer songs.
Cool reaction! The Doors are an iconic and legendary band. I’d suggest listening to Moonlight Drive!
"Stronger than dirt" were the last words uttered in that song. In the 60s, there was a popular commercial for a laundry detergent that used this phrase "stronger than dirt" in their ad. I suppose Jim Morrison used this for a special effect of some kind.
Thank you for pointing that out, I am not positive I think it's from an Ajax commercial.
My Dad and our family watched this on Ed Sullivan when it was new music, back in the late 60's
he commented that At Least this Guy can sing, and he loved the Sax solo at the end of the song.
My Dad also loved Chicago, and their Horns section. A little New and Old MIXED together, Not Bad!
Doors were banned from Ed Sullivan show in 1967. They played this live on the Smothers Brothers Show in 1969.
This is on CZcams and could of been reacted to probably.
@@StanSwan Yeah, too much of a high point for old Ed. The Smo Bros performance was live (not lip-synched) with accompaniment by a full complement of orchestral strings and horns that are on the record.
@@kikovazquez7277 Smothers Brothers is a live vocal over the studio recording.
@@kikovazquez7277 Only thing live was Jim on the Smothers Brothers show. They made a mix without the vocal for the show.
The colours don't come out unless you're stoned...a masterpiece, forever adored and never forgotten. X
One of the 'strangest songs' of The Doors. And strange is good, you know. Awesome !
Not nearly as strange as Soft Parade haha
@@johnhawk1089 love that track and album!
First time I've ever heard a version of this song with the "stronger than dirt" added to it.
As others have mentioned, this song was a departure from the straight forward hard driving hits but it was powerful enough to make it their third number 1 song on the charts. The album this was on, The Soft Parade,so different from others ,has always been considered the worst by the critics. For me it contains one of the greatest Funk jams ever in the long title track and the other songs blended well with it. All different; and made it for me ; a very listenable, enjoyable journey.. Interesting reaction..
The keyboards I always considered carnival style. Majority of their songs. Never got the mystique all my life about the doors.
Second rate band now over-hyped by that crappy fiction book that came out in '80.
I always thought that the Doors had a kind of lounge lizard vibe to some of their songs. Maybe that's why Morrison referred to himself as "the lizard king"
The ending words to this song are.......Stronger than dirt.
Lawrence is good at piano. He shall be rockin' in my show ;)
I was singing that to a woman at work the other day. As least the 1st couple of bars. She reached out like she was going to touch me as she walked by but didn't.
Everyone has forgotten bands like Spirit & Country Joe & the Fish
1st....yeah...come on...come on...come on...now...
It's a poem put to music 🎶
I can't hear this song without thinking of School of Rock. "Laurence is good at piano, he will be rocking in my show!"
The Doors are not for everyone, just persons that know great music when they here it. I am not even a huge fan but realize great talent.
Shush now
I rarely knew what those songs meant. I have to watch reaction videos 45 to 55 years later to find out.
He was a poet.
THAT VOICE!! OMG
"The Crystal Ship" is my favorite song of theirs, bet you guys would really like it.
At the end of the song they say, Stronger than dirt. It wasn't meant to be in there but after that take, the producer said let's keep it in. It is a reference to a 1960s commercial about laundry detergent. Lol, the band was just being silly.
"Stronger than dirt" was a line from a TV commercial jingle for Ajax Laundry Detergent. Everyone at the time would have gotten the joke since they all heard that ad a thousand times. A common songwriting technique in the 1960's was using lines that were stream of consciousness or fragments from dreams, thoughts or words from newspapers, magazines, TV, etc.
The ending says '-stronger than dirt'
Also, I think you all would like the official 'touch me' video, especially for the era on which the doors were playing, it does play a Big roll on why that sax solo is so iconic.
Greetings and awesome video reactions.
The Doors: Ghost Song, Wild Child, End of the Night, Strange Days, When the Music's Over.
Jim really liked Sinatra, and I can't help but think he was trying for that big band vibe because of him.
Love it grew up this !
"Stronger Than Dirt" at the end. That is a reference to a 1960's TV commercial for Ajax detergent. In the commercial, a chorus would chant "stronger than dirt" as a a knight on a horse would ride by. The knight would use a staff to clean the clothes.
Jim had a great voice!
This song allowed Jim Morrison to flex his inner-crooner (like with "Moonlight Drive"). You're right that it's different, but the Doors embraced "different" better than most.
LEX is astute...Greatly appreciate LEX understands and enjoys my generations music...Thank you LEX...
the drums are what keeps the rock edge to this one the whole way through. I love the switch up to the elvis crooner chorus and then back into the rock stomp and rougher verses
Morrison is known to some as the most influential frontman in Rock history.. He was a very interesting person
I agree he really invented a lot of what people do on stage now. It was just him being himself and looks forced when others try to do it. I think David Lee Roth is the 2nd best frontman in rock even if not at the same level. He does not ape other singers. Saw him live in 1985 was a great show.
That ending sounds like the end of a cleaning commercial. " Stronger Than Dirt".
Just watched the movie, that's what brought me here, i grew up on the doors.
The people in the comment said what I already need to say, so I'm just going to go with thank you and thumbs up.
Stronger than dirt!!!
You too are so fun to watch 😻
Classic song!
Stronger than dirt!
Love the doors!
"Stronger than dirt!"
Early advertising slogan for Ajax cleaning powder.
Peace
Love the doors!!!!!
Jim spent a lot of time in your neck of the woods. His grandparents lived there. He met a girl at the local
HS and fell madly in love. She broke it off with him and he never forgot her. "This is the end" is about their
breakup.
If you’re looking for a Doors song with meaning then you’ll have to listen to the song “The End” off of their first album. I’d love to see Lexi’s take on that one.
at the end Jim says: "stronger than dirt" It was a joke repeating a line from a popular commercial in the late 60s that everybody would have known about.
The drums at the end are sick!
Jim Morrison played this tune live in Miami and got arrested for indecent exposure. Spent six months in prison at hard labor and when he returned, died of an overdose within a year in Paris, France. His last tune was "Riders on the Storm". Published a book of poetry just before his death called "An American Prayer".
Eh, correction, he did *not* spend six months in prison. He died in Paris before he could serve the sentence - assuming it would have actually come to that.
@@supertrexandroidx LOL I knew someone would correct me.
Lex, it jumps out at you, at Halloween? This is one of my favourite songs from The Doors. I love that wee slow verse in-between the upbeat song. I'm gonna love you guys, 'til the heavens stop the rain... especially you Lovely Lex. By the way, the strange bit Jim says at the end is "Stronger Than Dirt", which apparently was from a popular Ajax commercial at the time. Æx ❤️🙏❤️
More Doors!! Shaman's Blues....Down on the Farm....Love Street.....Love Her Madly......Crystal Ship.....Waiting for thre Sun
This was the Doors idea of a love song when asked why they didn't do any love songs.
"Stronger than dirt!"
You might also want to react to another of their songs called, “Hello I Love You.”
Jim came up with the song after he and Ray, the keyboard player, skipped a film making class at USC to go to the beach.
There, Jim noticed a beautiful woman that he wanted to go up to and talked to her, but he was too intimidated to talk to her.
Imagine, a charismatic dude like him too shy, she must have been stunning.
I have no idea what the song is really about. I have loved it though since hearing it shortly after it came out. Morrison's voice and the drums and the sax and other instruments really mesmerize me. Very high on my list of all-time favs.......Thanks for the reaction.
I can always predict where Brad will pause the song for the commentary because he always picks a perfect moment, like he has ESPN!
He said "Stronger than dirt" at the end
I was a huge Jim Morrison wannabe in high school/ the 80's.
Mind blowing ❤🎵
STRONGER THAN DIRT!! at the end. Lol
Stronger than dirt.........final lyrics..😁
