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?
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. th-cam.com/video/EFZK5VkQes4/w-d-xo.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.
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.
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😊
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.
Brad & Lex, you’ll love their “Hello, I Love You”!!
That’s a good choice !! 👍🏻🎶
@@dankelly5150 thank you!!
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.
The last line is, "Stronger than dirt!" Oddly a commercial tag line for a laundry detergent.
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.
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).
What a great band! Been listening to them from inception!
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 🤔
I LOVE THE DOORS!!!
The last 4 notes of the song, "Stronger than dirt", was used to end a laundry detergent TV ad years ago.
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.
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.
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.
This is one of their classics. It's an odd one because it has a bit of a Big Band feel and crooner vibe.
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 “ ❤
"STRONGER THAN DIRT!" was from an Ajax Cleanser commercial.
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
The colours don't come out unless you're stoned...a masterpiece, forever adored and never forgotten. X
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.
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
This song shows what a nice voice Jim Morrison had…one of my favorites!
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.
First time I've ever heard a version of this song with the "stronger than dirt" added to it.
Been waiting for somebody to finally get around to this one! Thank u guys!
YEAH Micheal❣
The song was originally written as "Hit Me." It was about an argument between a man and his girlfriend. Jim Morrison was not comfortable with the idea of signing "Hit Me," so he asked the songwriter to change the title to "Touch Me."
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.
great song, glad I mentioned this ages ago
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..
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.
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.
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.
HOW IN THE WORLD, have you guys not done any Earth, Wind, and Fire?!?!?! They have a dozen solid hits. Timeless.
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.
It's a poem put to music 🎶
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.
Everyone has forgotten bands like Spirit & Country Joe & the Fish
My favorite Doors song!
At the end they sang "Stronger Than Dirt".
Broken Peach Tainted Love, from their Halloween Special last year would be a great addition to your Halloween Night Special. Just saying.
Robbie Krieger wrote Touch Me. The original title was Hit Me. But Mr.Mojo Rising refused to sing it with that title. There were also recording problems, the problem being Morrison's drinking - he was drunk and slurring the words and after a lot of efforts, the producers edited the vocals, using the parts from different takes. The vocals were literally pieced together. If you watch the performance on The Smother Brothers show, you will see that Krieger has a black eye - so, I think Krieger was writing about his girlfriend punching him
Just watched the movie, that's what brought me here, i grew up on the doors.
The Doors: Ghost Song, Wild Child, End of the Night, Strange Days, When the Music's Over.
The last line at the end was "Stronger Than Dirt"
It was a joke.
It was the same line used at the end of Ajax Powder Cleanser commercials.
This is My favorite Doors song. This to me is his Elvis tribute lol.
Jim Morrison was a poet.. that’s the difference..
Guitarists Robbie Kreiger wrote this one.
Jim Morrison didn't write this song Robbie Kreiger the guitarist wrote this as for most of the groups big hits. Sorry. 🤔😎
@@donjenkins3861 These people with the "poet" bullshit. Every. Single. Doors. Reaction. Video.
They're good sheep though.
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.
Someone bet Jim that he could not use the slogan for Tide laundry detergent in a hit song...the last three words..."Stronger than dirt"
Cool reaction! The Doors are an iconic and legendary band. I’d suggest listening to Moonlight Drive!
1st....yeah...come on...come on...come on...now...
Lawrence is good at piano. He shall be rockin' in my show ;)
I was a huge Jim Morrison wannabe in high school/ the 80's.
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 TH-cam 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 best Doors songs were too long for Top 40 radio so Elektra's brass picked out their under 3 minute songs to be singles. The real Doors classics are not their short singles, however, radio became more tolerant of longer songs after a while so Riders in the Storm and L.A. Woman could be their last hits.
There's a lot of Jazz in this, which the drummer and possibly the keyboardist were trained in.
Jim really liked Sinatra, and I can't help but think he was trying for that big band vibe because of him.
The original name of this song was "Hit Me" but he changed it to Touch Me because he knew his fans would take it literally and actually hit him. 🤔😎
This one's a banger. Personally L'America is my #1 if you want that major psychedelic trippy vibe. Highly recommend
L'America is a Great Song.
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.
Ya know some times the song is the song the meaning is up front and right on point ✌️
One of fav's from the doors. He's trying to propose I think and doesn't how. It's a pity he died without saying the meaning.
"Stronger than dirt..." are the last words heard at the very end.
Stronger than dirt, at the end what it says
Yes from a commercial for Ajax I think
Stronger than dirt! That was the slogan from an Ajax commercial. You had to be there. 😏
th-cam.com/video/EFZK5VkQes4/w-d-xo.html
“Stronger than dirt” at the end
Classic song!
They were saying "Stronger than dirt" ,a joke about laundry detergent
This album had all the songs remastered and to me they took out the raw power of Jim's voice. If you really want to hear The Doors you have to have the original tracks from the original albums.
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!
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.
At the end, it says Stronger than Dirt.
"Stronger than dirt!"
Early advertising slogan for Ajax cleaning powder.
Peace
Its hard for young people to understand the Doors because they never experienced the 1960's. It was a different time with the Vietnam war, the hippies, flower Childs, soclal unrest, psychedelic drug culture , free love and more, The Doors music reflected it all.
I always felt the Doors were channeling Sinatra here.
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"
Yes. At the end they said "Stronger than dirt". That came from an Ajax laundry detergent ad that sang, "New Ajax laundry detergent it's stronger than dirt."
th-cam.com/video/lDhygtxNM7M/w-d-xo.html
"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.
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.
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.
Check out the song Spanish caravan by the doors or the unknown soldier.
The end said Stronger Than Dirt, borrowed from an old AJAX cleanser commercial.
The Doors are the best American band ever. Without Jim Morrison however the other 3 would've been a good Vegas lounge act.
"The Crystal Ship" is my favorite song of theirs, bet you guys would really like it.
He wrote poems and songs for and about his girlfriend Pam this is one of them.
Do Jungle Land (studio) by Bruce Springsteen for a great sax solo.
That ending sounds like the end of a cleaning commercial. " Stronger Than Dirt".
We hear stuff on here and think 'This number could have been made yesterday'. This isn't that song... it sounds so dated!
Definitely upbeat for the Doors.... and better off for it, as a change up. always a favorite
2nd of 2 songs written by the guitar player ..light my fire 🔥 the other one...both huge hits...Morrison wrote the creepy stuff
I saw your Bjork Oh So Quiet video and thought you might be interested in Catatonia Mulder and Scully as Cerys Matthews sounds very like Bjork in the tone of her voice and the Welsh accent sounds a little Icelandic in comparison. Also a mad song to digest. Brad will have a meltdown.
The Doors are different. That’s why they were one of the best. Jim M was just superior talent.
The song is about Jim getting caught with another woman by Pam his live in girlfriend.
He was a poet.
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.
Great reaction! The Doors was a great band but were not for everyone.
You're way out on left field trying to interpret this song. Sometimes it's best just to take in the artistry of the music.
