The Doors (Music) / int_18565557	type	Descent into Darkness Song
The Doors (Music) / int_18565557	comment	Descent into Darkness Song: "The End" famously starts off as a ponderous musing about the nature of finality. However, eventually the imagery shifts into describing a masked killer grappling with the desire to kill, and then killing, his parents. Afterwards, the tempo builds to create a mesmerizing climax; that makes it the perfect song to be used to bookend Apocalypse Now — a descent into the evil lurking in the human heart.

The Doors (Music) / int_35a858b3	comment	Cluster F-Bomb: During "The End". This was heavily buried in the original mix, but when Francis Ford Coppola was making Apocalypse Now, he requested the use of the song, and the studio accidentally sent his sound designer Walter Murch the original masters, which enabled him to hear the unmixed version of the song. Murch subsequently created a very trippy new mix for the film that brought the Cluster F-Bomb to the forefront. Some subsequent mixes of the original album now have the Cluster F-Bomb uncensored as well.

Consequently, the song is a very obvious Incredibly Lame Pun on 20th Century Fox, and now rather outdated, considering we are no longer in the 20th century and the aforementioned company was renamed as 20th Century Studios in 2020.

The Doors' studio version changes this to "the next little girl", though Morrison occasionally left the line intact in live performances.

And with "TRY TO SET THE NIGHT ON... FIRRRRE!" at the end of "Light My Fire", Jim may have birthed the Metal Scream.

The album version replaces it with an unintelligible scream, but given the Freudian imagery throughout the song, the expletive is about as heavily implied as it could be without being spoken outright.

The Doors (Music) / int_bc46a33a	comment	Remaster: The 2006 40th anniversary edition was not only remastered, but featured "Light My Fire" at its correct speed for the first time since its original 45 RPM single release. The speed discrepancy (being about 3.5% slow) was brought to Bruce Botnick's attention by BYU music professor Michael Hicks, who noted that all video and audio live performances of the Doors performing the song, the sheet music, and statements of band members show that the song is in a key almost a half step higher (A) than the stereo LP release (A♭/G♯). One result of the speed adjustment is the song's running time changing from 7:06 to 6:51.

The Doors (Music) / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
The Doors (Music) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Tons, discounting The Doors film, of course. "The End" was used prominently in the film Apocalypse Now, as well as several episodes of The Simpsons. Frank Zappa had a concert parody of the song in which the protagonist tells his father he wants to kill him, but his dad happens to be masturbating on the toilet with a magazine on his knees and tells him: "Err, no not now son!" It never got an official release due to copyright reasons, but one instrumental track by Zappa was indeed released as "No Not Now". "The Crystal Ship" was the name of a band that DJ Tommy 'Nightmare' Smith (Voiced by Axl Rose) was formerly in; from the game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. "Break On Through (To the Other Side)" appears on The Simpsons episode I Love Lisa. "Break On Through (To the Other Side)" and "Soul Kitchen" appears in Forrest Gump. "People Are Strange", "Hello, I Love You" and "Love Her Madly" are all also used in the film. "Light My Fire" was covered in the most bizarre way possible on The Third Reich 'n Roll by The Residents. "Light My Fire" was also sampled in "Superstar" from The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill by Lauryn Hill. Flemish cult poet Jotie T' Hooft committed suicide in 1976 by overdosing on heroin. When people found him, he had already died and had put the groove of his record player needle on repeat so that The Doors' "The End" played in a continuous loop.

The Doors (Music) / int_dbfe8427	comment	Intercourse with You: "Back Door Man" has been interpreted as being about someone who likes to take (or be taken?) from behind. It's certainly had those implications in the earliest blues songs that inspired the song. Of course, it is a cover of the song by Willie Dixon and Howlin' Wolf. In that version "back door man" meant an illicit relationship, such as with a married woman - he would sneak out through the back door when the husband came home through the front door.
