Song is about LA itself. She is the woman here. The doors have a lot of good songs. Thanks for your perspective Diane.
I agree with that. It's a common theme from musicians from the area, including The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Under The Bridge.
@@collectingonthecheap56353😊😊😊😊same
Mr.Mojo Rising is Jim Morrison.
One of their most famous songs was Light My Fire.. Make sure you listen to the long one, not that 3 minute one to satisfy pop rock stations on AM radios of the 50's and 60's..
Yep, he is saying goodbye to LA
The looks on your face were fantastic. Confusion, then enjoyment, then confusion again. Pretty common for most Doors songs.
Such a rollercoaster 😂
I totally agree... This song takes the listener on a roller coaster ride with tempo changes, lyrics, and chord progressions.. I wasn't even born when the Doors were on the scene. Luckily I had cool parents who made sure I was exposed to all the greatest music from the Generations before me. The Doors caught my ear a little more than the rest.. For reasons I've never actually figured out I always had a naturallly psychedelic outlook even as a young boy.. 🤔😋. I'm glad you enjoyed L.A. Woman so much. This was the first time I saw one of your videos. Watching you jam out was awesome. In the most respectful way possible I have to say that you are stunningly beautiful.. keep up the good work I'll go ahead and su 🤩bscribe now..
✌🏼🙂👌🏼
One of the greatest bands ever
Definitely.
Half a century later, and still sounding fresh. Timeless.
Never did a bad album. One of the very few bands who have that accolade imo.
THIS WAS NORMAL MUSIC FOR US IN THE 70S AND 80S!
COMPARED TO TODAYS MUSIC, IT IS BRILLIANT!
John Densmore is the reason I switched from guitar to drums. Amazing underrated drummer who has a ton of signature licks and very little acknowledgment. His style is so perfect it mostly goes unnoticed. pure class!
You ever seen him in the film, "Get Crazy"? You can find in on TH-cam. Drummer for Reggie Wanker, played by Malcom McDowell.
Same with Robbie, he’s also very underrated. Never gets the recognition he deserves.
Jim, what an amazing poet/musician/iconic front man!
But the boys, the Band!!!...
Ray is the signature sound of the Doors for me personally!!..

@@kevinferguson6543 He wrote most of the music for their hits.
Agreed.
The Doors were a group that crossed a large demographic.They were a unique group that crossed in blues, jazz, classical, and rock and roll musical genres. Morrison was a poet so the bands song lyrics often had multiple layers of meaning, both on purpose or ascribed to them. Within hearing the first few notes, you knew you were hearing a Door's song. They were a product of their time and drugs played a part in the creativity, and the destruction of the band. They were an experimental group, so it is fitting that Editor Diane added some experimental touches to this video.Well Done.
Mr. Mojo Risin' being an anagram of Jim Morrison is really great.
She did 😜
The Doors were famous for playing long extended versions of their songs at concerts. This song gives you a taste of what that was like. And yes, Jim had an amazing voice.
The Doors were were at least 10 years after the Twist frenzy and on opposite coasts of the USA. The Twist was a fad dance which spawned several dances in clubs such as the Mashed Potato. The Swim. The Doors were personality driven jam band from southern California with inspirations from beat poets, psychedelic music and the Laurel Canyon scene. The two couldn't be more different!
There are 10 songs with Twist in the title on the 1962 Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles - The Doors debut album was recorded in 1966.
You should get out more Charlie. "The Twist" itself was a hit song in 1958, 1960, and 1962. The last big Twist hit was "Twist and Shout" in 1964 by the Beatles. The Doors were formed the next year, 1965.
@@Walker_BulldogLA Woman wasn’t released until 1971. Even if the twist was top of mind for listeners, it certainly wasn’t top of mind for the Doors. :) The M41 is a really cool tank. RIP Gen. Walker.
@@rrrayrrray Thanks - nobody until you has made the connection. And I'm sure the Doors never gave the Twist 15 minutes worth of thought in toto.
@@Walker_Bulldog Ecxellent!
LA at that time is totally different than now. This song captures the night life of LA in 1970, essentially around the Sunset Strip and Santa Monica Blvd. And then and again to parties at peoples houses. And the drugs and the sexuality amongst the young guys chasing women and the woman/girls going for it. SOOOO different than the scene today. LA Woman musically portrays what LA was like for the partiers in their early 20's in LA around the music scene. The best I can try to explain it. I was in my mid teens not far away when The Doors were discovered by the music industry while playing at The Whisky A-Go-Go. I really, really miss those days and can identify with Morrison's lamenting LA just before he died in Paris at 27 years old.
Jack Kerouac was one of writers of the Beat Generation and his major work is the novel On the Road (1957), based on his friendship with Neal Cassady and their continuous traveling back and forth all over the U.S. I think you're at the perfect age to read On the Road, it's a novel about youth and destiny and love and the meaning of life and it's MESMERISING. Don't know if you're much of a reader but it's really worth it (do NOT watch the silly movie they made out of it, it's worthless). The Beat writers were the immediate predecessors and mentors of the hippie generation The Doors belonged to.
I agree. I would also suggest reading the exploits in South America. There was even a movie with Courtney Love from... HOLE lol Just watched that video before this one that she mentioned her. All people should also read The Sun Also Rises by Hemmingway. It is fantastic.
@@winowarrior9392….and ‘The Movable Feast’.
Back in 2015 in spent 5 weeks in an artist residency in Romania. I walked into a bookstore in Sibiu and there was a copy of ‘On The Road,’ translated into Romanian so I bought it as a souvenir. Still have it. ‘On The Road’ has become a worldwide phenomenon.
*Now* you're rockin'. *This* is music. The way it used to be, when the best were at their best.
At 5:45 Jim sings about "Mr Mojo Risin'". That is actually an anagram of "Jim Morrison". When he revealed that to the band, they were mindblown.
Correct me if i'm wrong here.
This is one of the few songs not written by Morrison himself. I believe it was Manzeric who wrote the song.
Don't doubt that Morrison would have added some flare though (as per what you said).
Teenager of the 90s myself, and The Doors was and always will be such a huge joy.
It was absolutely written by Morrison
@@iambob6590 Jim Morrison wrote the lyrics to most of the Doors songs, while Robby Krieger, and John Densmore wrote the music itself.
@@davidcosta2244 I think i'm half remembering something from the book and the movie from when i was teenage in the 90s. Neither of which are the best sources.
Could've sworn there was one song where one of the other band members write the lyrics, maybe the guitarist.
But like i said, it was a long time ago, and i was probably stoned. :P
@@iambob6590 Light My Fire was written by Robbie Krieger, except for one or two lines
Thank you so much for letting the song play thru.
Yeah! DRIVIN MUSIC! The target demographic for this music was guys in their '67 Mustangs with a 289 motor and cobra valve covers driving like hell down the 101 freeway with telephone poles whizing by (what's a "telephone pole", grandpa? Shut up, kid.) delivered via 8-track tape player. It was a very specialized venue.
I loved driving the L.A. freeways at night during the 80s as I listened to the Doors. Windows downs, warm summer breeze, heading nowhere, just enjoying L.A. lights, and Morrison's sexy voice. Those were the days
Beep beep VROOM 🏎️
This was the last song they ever recorded.... If you get the chance, watch the movie "The Doors" with Val Kilmer as Jim... It's really good and tells an amazing story about an amazing guy... Mr. Mojo rising!!
Riders on the storm was the last song they ever recorded with jim morrison.
Both from the same album...@@neillenet291
Wrong, theres actual recorded footage of Ray saying that the last song they all recorded together as a band was Riders on the storm
The Twist was from 1960. The Doors released their first album in 1967. No one was Twisting anymore in 1967. Certainly not in 1971 when LA Woman was released. Discos (or Disco music) wasn't really big until around 1977. I know in the UK they had their Northern Soul maybe a year or two earlier which was mostly obscure Motown and uptempo Soul songs.
Austin Powers was decades after Jim Morrison lived and died. Mojo was mentioned in many blues songs which Morrison would have been familiar with (Muddy Waters - Got My Mojo Working). Austin Powers would have been informed by Morrison. This was played on the radio when it came out. Radio was very eclectic in the late 60s, early 70s, and FM radio was just becoming a big rock outlet at the time.
Yes! The Doors were very into Blues music, as all the white 60s musicians were, and that's the mojo they're referencing. The old Blues guys were always talking about mojo.
Mr. Mojo Risen. Is an anagram of Jim Morrison.
@@mjeffn2 Yes, and wouldn't have been noticed or picked if mojo wasn't already a strong blues meme.
As an actual LA Woman, this my favorite Doors song. Jim Morrison was a musical god, and it's sad that we never got to hear where he would have gone next.
He wouldn't characterize himself as a musical god, but as a poet who used being a singer in a rock band as a way to get his poetry out there.
Sadly he went exactly where he needed to go.
@@user-sm3ii5dk1u cope christian
Indeed. It pains me to think about the music he wouldve made in the 70's and 80's.
Thanks for reacting to it Diane!
I got my Mojo rising! And I've seen the cops in cars, and the topless bars.😃
🤣
Happy Monday Diane! The Doors are an amazing group and this particular song you had picked is a real banger! It's got a really good beat! Hopefully you can react to more hits by this amazing group in the near future. Glad to see that you had dug it! Thanks for sharing and reacting to it! Have a great rest of your week Diane! Rock on, lovely lady! 👋😎🎉🎊
They defined the LA music scene. But they had some great music that was definitely their own style. Glad you enjoyed them!
Hi Diane. First timer here. Really like your in depth research on the tune. Yes. I was 19 when this was released. The times were very different. No comparison at all to today. I was a huge Doors fan. You would mostly hear Doors tunes on FM radio. At the time there was no such thing as a Disco (Thank God). There were clubs and bars and concerts. The Doors appealed to a fairly select fan base. It was one of those you either love them or you hate them. I loved them until I discovered Prog Rock. Back then, Morrison was that baddest bad boy in rock. He moved to Paris to escape arrest here in the states. Love your reaction. I'll definitely be back. God bless everyone here. And Diane...stay groovy!
pure rock n roll here..this song has got nuthin to do with disco or the twist
What a great song, the Doors to me are the most iconic
LA rock band
Yesssss more Doors please....
The most sensuous poet of my generation.
Great reaction. While walking around Hollywood one Sat. night i seen their name on the marquee of a small club got a ticket and seen them. Think I paid less than $10. A long and wild show, one of the best I ever seen.
Way less than $10
Here it comes... one of the greatest song moments in rock 'n roll music history!
Mr. Mojo risin'
Got to keep on risin'
Ridin', ridin'
Gone ridin', ridin'
I'm gone ridin', ridin'
I got ta ridin', ridin
Yeah ridin', ridin...
*And I WHOOO* , *yeah* , *ride!*
*OH!*
*Mmm* ... *yeah* ... 👍 😎
The doors my favourite band ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🇺🇸i love the Doors!
This is one of the classic albums of rock and roll history. If you hear nothing else by the Doors, you're good. It incorporates elements of blues, r & b and poetry and rock. It's the Doors at their finest. I truly hope you enjoyed this album and will return to it, many times, in the future.
The best band to come out of America
Millemial - dynamics - mind blown.
Jim Morrison was an amazing poet
Doors played at my high school .. back in the day .. in LA
Wow...Memories of my adolescence. Greetings Diane!
The name "The Doors" is a shortened version of The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley. Jim was first and foremost a poet and his performances were more theatrical than most bands of the day. They also were heavily influenced by significant LSD usage. There is a show that was filmed in the Hollywood Bowl that is good for giving you the basic Idea and it's well worth your time to watch and perhaps also comment on. His poetry (lyrics) is very heavily visual and the imagery is fragmentary but coherent and not only tells the surface story but carries the subtext along with it. In an updated way he carried the beat poet idea into the rock and roll 60's, married them together and gave us this. Performance art on acid.
I'm glad to see younger people starting to listen to this music!! I saw them play live in concert and it was amazing!! In the second row for 6.50!! I saw a few concerts outside where we were all just walking around and partying! I was at a Jeff Beck and Jan Hammer show outside and was 4 feet from the stage!! In Chicago in July of 76. I think tickets were 5 bucks!! And a ton more! Wish I could go back! Doors keyboard players name is pronounced Man zair ick. Just so you know. Keep listening, there's a ton more people to listen to!
Poob! Hi Diane! My favorite song by The Doors is Riders on the Storm!
They, and we were ofter "stoned immaculate" so it was even more of an experience!
🤍✨
This song came out about 10 years after the twist. Interesting reaction. Stay well.
Such a great time to be alive in Los Angeles, CA. I know I'm nostalgic, but it was a freer, happier time. No doubt. The world has become so complicated, I don't even want to engage with it. I NEVER used to feel that way! I always wanted more and more interaction/engagement. I feel sorry for you young people.
It's so nice that you play the whole song without stopping and starting all of the time. Thanks, you're doing an awesome job. Thanks.
There was nothing like driving down Sunset or the PCH and listening to this specific song.
To be honest, it would be worth making a video on most of their songs, that's how good they are.
Out here beyond the perimeter the are no stars, out here we are Stoned, Immaculate!
Definitely a perfect song to groove out to. They were firing on all cylinders with this album.
My mother was a huge Doors fan, so growing up I heard them daily! Can't thank her enough for exposing me to so much great music! Having a mom that was half Beatnik/Hippie and half scholar/PTA mom was the best! Another great song and reaction, Diane!
For some unknown reason I thought The Doors were a folk/rock band, but this song feels more like a song written in the styles of the Blues and I love the piano in the opening. Oh, I see as the song progresses it becomes much more rock and roll. And for sure it did feel like more than one style.
Very much a mush mash stylistically I think
The Doors were definitely NOT a folk rock band. They were from LA, though, and were contemporaries of LA-based folk rock bands like The Byrds; Crosby, Stills & Nash; Buffalo Springfield; The Mamas & the Papas; etc. So that might be the connection. But whereas those bands would incorporate acoustic instruments along w electric, plus country stylings and a lot of vocal harmonies, the Doors did none of that. They were experimental/acid/rock and virtually all vocals were from Jim.
I found them to be a Fusion band combining Jazz, Blues, and Rock n Roll. All the musicians in the band were well versed in many genre of music. For example guitarist Robby Krieger played Spanish flamenco music and jazz. Ray Manzarek, the keyboardist, was classically trained and liked rock, jazz, blues, bossa nova. I was in high school in the 70's and this was not dance club music. We would play this really loud on car stereos while driving around, at house parties, and at underage keg parties in the woods.

@@padraigallen1553also on “Album Rock” radio stations.
One of my favorites of all time!
Perfection! The Doors had it all!
The Doors was considered a rock band back in the 60 and 70's. Their music was played on the local radio station WPLR 99.1 in New Haven, Connecticut where I grew up. No, it was not disco! I don't know if people really danced to it. I just know the boy across the street blasted it out of the windows of his cool mustang every day. Its funny because his last name was Musto! I had a little crush back in the 70's. Ah high school days, Lol!
Can’t believe this but that’s the FM station I always listened to. Yeah!
Recorded live in their rehearsal studio, so they are all having a great time. Morrison needed to forget about his upcoming court case, which could have seen him sent to prison.
A band that could have lasted an entire generation if Morrison was not so self-destructive. This song so encapsulates LA during the 60s. A wonderful place to be back then.
This song is like a modern tone poem. You can easily visualize driving - in a convertible, of course - along busy LA city streets, through the suburbs.
Back then, a lot of music was just for listening to via the radio, or your stereo at home. It was either watch TV, listen to music, or read a book, basically. Of course, it was routine to listen to the radio when driving somewhere.
Hi Diane! This song was played mostly on FM radio, but also on top 40 stations. The Doors were cool, but they also had a lot of commercial appeal.
He wasn't throwing up the beer, Diane.😂
Hope you and Chewie are doing great, I love you, until next time, bye bye.
Oh wow!
Much of the Doors music received little air time on radio stations as so many of their songs exceeded the three-minute limit imposed upon songs at the time. Only a handful of exceptions were made. Hey Jude by the Beatles, is one good example. The Doors did have a song early in their career that got much attention on the radio. This was "Light My Fire".
and it was the short version just for radio.
That 3 minute rule was on AM radio. They were stalwarts of the FM scene, especially when the DJ wanted to spark a doobie.
Just wanted to say I have appreciated to your reactions as you really cover a wide variety of genres, you don’t have the same songs a lot of other channels have pandering to what gets lots of views, and you are sincere and honest in all of your genuine reactions. You really just seem to be honestly exposing yourself to new stuff and taking us along for the ride. Bravo, keep on being the genuine you, I think it has led to some quality content and as Squirrely Dan says, “and that’s what I appreciates about ya!”
My older brothers were really into The Doors but years ago I had to respond to an emergency call of a young woman that had overdosed in an apartment and this album was blasting so load and no one could figure out how to shut it off. I've never been able to enjoy them since. Great job Diane, hope that you are home safe and sound.
You're so sweet! Very beautiful too! However, I don't believe there would be many people doing the twist to L.A. Woman. You're an angel!
They were extremely ahead of their time. Excellent band. There's an interview where back in the 60's, Jim Morrison (The lead singer) is asked where he thinks music is headed, and he says "Spoken word over a beat is going to be huge ". Dude called rap music back in the 60's.
omg I have hot heard this song for so long ! love it ty
Can't go wrong with Jim and the Doors!!
Definitely one of their most iconic songs. Hands down, All of Morrison's lyrics were unrivaled.
Great, love it! Travel on this one for sure. Neon that's it. You with your funny music waving hahaha.
Diane, I enjoy your videos, your insights, and your pretty looks! This is such an amazing era! This is all still new to me in a way- the contact with people almost one on one. Keep it going on, girl!
Love it !!
Great job, Diane!
The Doors were psychedelic rock. Maybe the first. Ty for playing this.
I love the Doors. I recommend every Morrison album
Every time I hear Mojo it trips me out. The High School I went to Permian High school is called Mojo. I even have that on T-shirts that I still have from school that say PHS Mojo on them.
Beautiful as usual
I really love this video.Happy Monday! Have a great week.
Thanks! You too greg
Classic rock music at it's best!!!
Wow the sacred Algolrythim has not brought me to you videos in a while. Glad to see you posting.
I love The Doors!!
Great reaction, you’re awesome 😎
Favorite DOORS song : ROADHOUSE BLUES.
LIGHT MY FIRE, PEOPLE ARE STRANGE, BREACK ON THRU, and RIDERS ON THE STORM are some thier best.
Great video, keep it up 👍
Great reaction! 👍
Brilliant work Diane! Check out the Doors playing “Touch Me” on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. Yet another side of the Doors!
Awesome video.
Such a great song.
Love how you are starting to really get into the music. This is really deep but also by the doors the song The End another road they went down.
No one, no one, could present a song like Jim Morrison. What a voice.
Try also listening to Waiting for the Sun, Love Me Two Times, Love Her Madly, Hello, I Love You, Touch Me, The Crystal Ship, Spanish Caravan, Five to One, When the Music's Over, Break on Through. Those are all the good songs of the Doors, I thought of from the best of the doors album. The songs You have reacted to so far are really good too.
Great reaction. I noticed you stopped at the line, " you know they are a liar," which is a subtle pun to their first hit, "Light my fire," where he sings, "you know that I would be a liar."
SO many awesome songs...The End, My Wintertime Love, Shaman's Blues, People are Strange, MOONLIGHT DRIVE....
Probably their greatest song
That's a tough one, it certainly is the conversation, depending on the day I might say it, Light My Fire or the End. They have so many great songs...
@@vicprovost2561 Riders on the storm, Break on through, and my favorite "When the music's over", and much more...
Roadhouse Blues, Touch Me
My favourite is always the last one that I've just listened to!!...
"Riders On The Storm".
Love your videos
Took a look around see which way the wind blow - where the action is Jim & band @
grew up in the 80s listening to the Doors, Zeppelin, Aerosmith and of course the 80s hair bands..
Thanks Diane J, just passing through - time to time (maybe going back few years i think) i come upon you, your cute fun reactions😺
Love the bling on your mic stand 🙃
The Doors, truly reflective of the period
It's poetry and symbolism accompanied by music. Jim was a poet. And it is suppose to awaken your deeper senses. peace to you
Love the look on your face when it gets to the "Mr. Mojo Risin" part. The answer is "yes, that's exactly what he means!" 😋
I never listened to the Doors much, but this was pretty good!
It's always tripy when the sound goes from one ear to the middle to the other ear. Lol.
Thanks a ton! Yes it is!!
@@DianeJennings almost said "welcome hon" to rhyme, but decided maybe that wasn't appropriate. Lol.
You just can't go wrong with ol' crazy/drunk Jim Morrison and his great band... The Doors. This music HAS stood the test of time! Loved it then... love it now. Thank you for bringing it back again, D.J.
I enjoyed learning with You what the song was about and production of the song, Today. I did not know keyboardist Ray Manzarek said its it was about driving down the 405 freeway in L.A. makes sense why Jim Morrison put his Ford Mustang in the Music Video. In the Music Video it does show women of all cultures from all over the world.
❤❤❤❤❤great song
This is my favourite Doors album .. Mr Mojo Risin 🤍✨
Waiting For The Sun is also a great song 🌞
It's easy to look up. The Twist was a song by early rock and roller Chubby Checker in 1958, so you know, early rock and roll. LA Woman came out in 1971, more than a decade later. So most likely, the dance was popular back in its time, but became outdated by the time the Doors were active. I can't say that I was ever a big fan of the Doors, but Light My Fire was certainly catchy, and I really liked the atmospheric moodiness of Riders On The Storm. Of course, everything I know about The Doors is after the fact--I was only 6 when LA Woman came out.
NOBODY is too cool to do the twist , not even The Doors! lol Cheers Diane, great video
