Today’s featured song is Light My Fire by The Doors.
On this day in 1967, The Doors released their sultry rock hit, “Light My Fire.” The second single off their self-titled debut, “Light My Fire” catapulted the band to international stardom, topping the charts in the US, and landing in the Top Ten in the UK, Canada, and Australia, among other territories. Months later, the band performed the song on the Ed Sullivan Show, where they were asked to change the lyric “Girl, we couldn’t get much higher,” due to inferred drug references. While they initially agreed, they performed the song as-is on live television. Needless to say, The Doors were banned from future appearances on the show.
