Information AboutLight My Fire |

"Light My Fire" was performed by The Doors on their infamous appearance on '' The Ed Sullivan Show ''. In an oft-told legend, The Doors were asked to change the lyrics of the song (specifically, the line "girl, we couldn't get much higher") to be more suitable for a (conservative) coast-to-coast live audience. The band promised to do so, but Morrison opted to not change the lyrics at the last minute and performed the unedited version live on-air. Ed Sullivan was so upset that he refused to shake Morrison's hand as he left the stage and the band was subsequently banned from appearing on the show again. |
