The Doors well dodgy lyrics
On the first album they do two covers both with similarly dodgy lyrics. First "Alabama (Whisky Bar)" with the lyric: Quote:
Well, show me the way And then "Back Door Man":To the next little girl Oh, don't ask why Oh, don't ask why Quote:
I'm a back door man Couldn't get away with that these days thankfully.
Whoa, baby, I'm a back door man The men don't know But the little girls understand |

Very tame compared to a lot of rap music

They were still a great band, though.

The Doors didn't write the Alabama Song, it was written for Bertolt Brecht by Elisabeth Hauptmann. Originally it was sung by a women prostitute about 'pretty boys' not 'little girls'. Morrison changed it but Bowie kept the 'little girl' line in his version. I think something is lost in translation.
![]() Back door man is also used by Led Zeppelin in "Whole Lotta Love'. 'Shake for me girl, I want to be your backdoor man'. I guess that age isn't the issue in the Led Zepp song but then The Stones 'Brown Sugar' has the lines 'Brown Sugar, how come you taste so good, Brown Sugar, Just like a young girl should"..... |

I know they didn't write them but they chose to cover them, plus they changed the lyrics to the first one (which I didn't know actually).

Because that might have been considered 'dodgy' at the time? |

If you think they're dodgy then there's loads more similar.
How about "Run For Your Life" by The Beatles? "Set Me Free" by The Kinks? "Young Girl" by Gary Pucket and The Union Gap? "Little Girl (With Blue Eyes)" by Pulp? The list goes on. |

"I'd rather see you dead little girl than to be with another man". These words can be heard in "Run For Your Life" by the Beatles too. So not only is John Lennon using well dodgy lyrics in a song, he is also stealing them! Shame on you John.

It's the little girl references.
Most dodgy of all "Thank heaven for little girls". The French accent make it seem even more sleazy. |

What about Baby it's Cold Outside which I always thought was a sweet festive favourite but once you listen to it more intently sounds like a seedy rohypnol anthem.

Don't forget Back Door Santa:
"I ain't like old Saint Nick He don't come but once a year... ho ho ho! I come running with my presents Every time you call me near" |

Most of those lyrics come from old Blues numbers. Led Zep had the Lemon Song which had old lyrics from Robert Johnson. "Squeeze my Lemon untll the juice runs down my leg".

That's the worse one yet
![]() You saw me kissin' your sister You saw me holdin' her hand But if you snitch to your mother Your father won't understand I wish they would take a nap, little children Now why don't you go bye-bye? Go anywhere at all Little children, I know you would go if you tried Go up the stairs, me and your sister, we're goin' steady How can I kiss her when I'm ready to with little children like you around? I wonder what can I do around little children like you |

To be fair though the song is about the children annoying him. He's going out with their older sister.

It did sound very dodgy!
Heard another one on The Simpsons earlier, My Sharona: "Always get it up for the touch of the younger kind", what was wrong with rock stars in the past? |

Thank heaven for little girls For little girls get bigger every day! Thank heaven for little girls They grow up in the most delightful way! I get so tired of this nonsense. |
