The Doors - Love Me Two Times

"Love Me Two Times" swaggers out of Strange Days, the Doors' second album, from 1967, and trimmed to 2:37 it followed "People Are Strange" as the record's second single. Robby Krieger has said the musical idea came from a lick in one of Danny Kalb's songs, and the band turned it into a strutting blues with a baroque streak: Ray Manzarek played the final version on harpsichord, which plenty of ears have taken for a clavichord. Paul A. Rothchild produced it for Elektra, and the sleeve credits the whole band as writers.

It was a little too risqué for some radio. New Haven banned it as "too controversial", which dismayed the band, but it still made number 25 in the United States.
