A backdoor man, means when a husband walks out the front door, he sneaks in the back door. Old blues singers were constantly in trouble for "sleeping" with married women.
And I think this was a Howlin Wolf song originally.
And Robby Krieger wrote the lyrics to most of their upbeat, "light" songs. (light my fire, Touch me baby, 20th Century Fox. )
Absolutely correct….. back door man is a metaphor for secret lover…..
@@mikefetterman6782 Written by Willie Dixon and recorded by Howlin' Wolf in 1960.
The little girl is a reference to the woman's kids who see a strange man enter and leave their house.
Back Door Man was an old Willie Dixon song, also recorded by Howlin’ Wolf.
When the Rolling Stones were invited to make their first appearance on US tv, they said they’d only do it if Howlin’ Wolf also appeared. Having no idea who or what a Howlin’ Wolf was, the tv bosses agreed. It’s on UA-cam.
Little girl means young woman over 18 who isn’t hitched. That was the meaning then… backdoor man means an indiv who has a relation w/ a woman and slips out the back door w/o getting hitched or caught…. Chicken is conquest of many women.
As a bassist, trying to keep up with Ray's left hand can be insanely hard, but always fun!
I get the night/day reference. I've always felt that the Doors were sort of nocturnal creatures in my mind. When I hear their music, I imagine myself driving around Los Angeles late at night , windows down, playing Doors tunes. Good memories!
When a woman has a guy on the side, she lets him in the back door as her husband leaves for work by the front door. I think there could be another meaning, but I'll leave that to others to explain.
😂 Like anal?!!😂👍
One of my favourite things from The Doors live is they play alabama song and Backdoor man back to back like it's a one song. Nothing beats the transition between half part of alama song and backdoor man intro with Jim Morrison's scream.
If you want a great doors live performance checkout “When the Music’s Over” live at the bowl ‘68. Possibly one of Jim’s best live performances ever recorded. He holds the audience in the palm of his hand.
Yes yes do
Greeting from Michigan, love your channel and the way you interpret and break down a song.72 years old so I really appreciate young people getting into the music from the past. Look forward to your input.
Just listened to Robbie Kreiger new book “ Set the night on fire”. Answers a lot of Doors questions. Really enjoyed!
I’m reading it now!
The doors released four official live albums where Jim was in top form. Absolutely Live and Alive She Cried are great concerts that capture the Lizard King in all his glory. He wasn't always as wasted as he was for the infamous jam with Hendrix in New York. He was particularly sharp when he knew the studio was recording the shows for future release.
Listened to this in the womb lol! My mom put headphones on her belly with me in '70! Tons of stuff I have literally been into before my 1st breath!
What a great idea your mom had! I just typed a lot and that's what my daughter heard when she was in utero, lol.
Guess your dad wasn't a back door man then..
@@OtherSideOfMorning lol
The Doors album Alive She Cried was my jam back in the day... one of the best live albums by anyone as far as i'm concerned
Really enjoying your analyses of albums, perhaps this one most of all. Hope you cover more Doors albums.
You have got to listen to the celebration of the lizard from absolutely live I cannot stress it enough my friend you have never heard anything like in your life !
The keys are in synch with “the bass” because the bass is Ray’s left hand. He plays rhythm off his left hand, lead off his right.
On this record, the bass is doubled by Larry Knechtel (Bread, The Wrecking Crew) on bass guitar. Ray's keyboard bass didn't record well with the technology of the time, so Knechtel was hired to overdub bass parts that doubled the keyboard bass lines. Later albums had bass players like Doug Lubahn (Clear Light), Harvey Brooks (The Electric Flag), Roy Neapolitan (session player), Lonnie Mack and Jerry Scheff (Elvis' bass player). They sometimes found it a challenge to match Ray's bass parts because they were keyboard-based rather than guitar-based. Scheff had trouble with Riders On The Storm because it's a fairly simple arpeggio line on keyboards, but requires a lot of fret work on a bass guitar.
@@russallert thank you for this. I didn’t know that! Learn something new every day :)
I wish there were more live performances of the Doors on You Tube, just like Jimi Hendrix; there's not enough. The show at the Bowl in '68 is great tho.
Please review the album Strange Days next. Keep this going, man! You’ll absolutely love that album.
Live at the Hollywood bowl is the holy Grail of live performances so any song you like just go right there
For live Doors at their best, the ONLY correct choice is their album Absolutely Live. 1970, I think. Great live album!
The meaning(s) of this one are both/and, and more i think.
You should listen to exit music by Radiohead next. I absolutely love your videos and your interpretation of songs and the fact that you are open to listening to a complete different genre of music than you are used to. I am so happy to see how fast and big your Chanel is growing, i mean you really deserve it. ❤
You got Jim and the Doors! Your assessment is correct! Somehow through some kind of Musical Alchemy, I don’t understand how they had it but they did, they were about to shine and showcase and support Jim’s Shamanistic Vocals! He would become possessed like he was in a trance. And that’s what Shamans do. They communicate with the Spirit World and heal people through dreams and medicine they make. They are Healers for the village. And part of healing is believing that you will recover from whatever is ailing you. The Shaman would show the way.
That’s why Jim’s vocals are so powerful and mystical and live on 50 years later. As well as the Doors music! It’s magical and mysterious.
Like a Dark Romance!
Jim is like a mysterious stranger that seduces someone for one night and then they dream about him for the rest of their life! Jim seduces the audience and puts a spell on them and they are loyal for life afterwards. Unreal! Hypnotic music that puts one in a Trance! The End is like a death trip only you don’t want it to end with that hypnotic Sitar playing! You listen to it over and over again. Because the Music is your only friend until the end. Until the lights go out! Jim told bold truths. 👏🏻
I used to think it was a sitar, too, but it is a guitar.
@@johnstorton I’m aware that it’s a guitar but it sounds Sitarlike.
Okay.....this is his "cover" of a classic Howlin' Wolf song.
Willie Dixon; one of the best blues
Morrison and Plant are the most charismatic singer/ frontman I've ever heard or seen.
Fearlessness in their sexuality.
Blowin up Willie Dixon song by Howlin Wolf.
I was a junior in high school and played guitar in a local band when this album was released in early 1967. The Stones and the Kinks I think we did a decent job covering, but with the Beatles and Doors we had no chance to do the music any justice. Jim Morrison was fantastic as a poet, singer, and performer, but he was out of control. He left the world way too soon.
"In Southern culture, the phrase "back-door man" refers to a man having an affair with a married woman, using the back door as an exit before the husband comes home."
Also, the bass and keys are so in sync because the doors are unique in not having a bass guitarist in the band. Manzarek played all the basslines on a bass keyboard and played piano/organ with his right hand.
In studio they did at times have a bassist tracking alongside in the studio ie 'touch me' and more.
Another thing not well known about the band is that Robbie Krieger wrote a large section of their most famous songs. In fact, a brain-breaking bit of info for ya is that Morrison asked for the others to contribute songs to the band at one point to help with the songwriting load. Jim and Robbie spent a few weeks living at Robbie's house when his parents were away, and from that time was when Robbie wrote Light My Fire ..
Dude...
The first song he ever wrote became the doors biggest hit, a number one song...
Krieger's first song ..
Seriously ... !
Love your bang on intuitive and thoughtful reactions.
You and #LFRJoJo are the only two who consistently get it right.
best track
Watch their concert Performances. They are Wild 😜. Thanks 👍
The doors live in New York are great high quality live recordings. Jim in excellent form…. Early matrix live performances interesting.
For official live Doors releases, I gravitate to "Live at the Bowl '68" - unlike the other releases which are compiled from numerous shows often over multiple years, the Hollywood Bowl release is one complete set, and with video.
"Little girl" was an endearing term for wife or girlfriend.
You should read the original Willie Dixon lyrics. There's a dark, dirty humor to them.
Back Door Man was a synonym for a side hit back then.
Back door man = the lover.
The doors live Isle of White
His last live
For me The Doors and Babymetal are the same type of performer where you need to experience it live to fully vibe with it. Soundboard is just to remind us of their greatness later. And yes I did compare Babymetal with The Doors!

He's gonna 'let' little girls slide.
Thank you. We were worried you wouldn't 😆
And yes 'backdoor' didn't mean the same thing. Sodamy wasn't as fashionable as it is today.
A Willie Dixon song.
Back Door Man is someone who is involved in a relationship with a cheating woman. The Back Door Man sneaks in the back door so the neighbors won't know that there is cheating going on.
This a williedixon song.
You may have trouble finding any good live stuff from them. Unfortunately Jim was either to drunk or stoned to make much sense of anything he was doing. London's Roundhouse performance may be a good start. I've been to his resting place in Paris twice. It's like a top five destination for people visiting Paris btw.
Nah, it's definitely the first thing.
I looked at you is top 40 filler that was forced on them by the studio
I don’t see any prob with the word little girl. Must be a generation thing. They don’t mean it literally as a child.
No bass, just a deep bass keyboard. I don't think they used an actual bass till the last album.
No touring Bass.
@@dougwill8850 wasn't sure, always just see the four of them in videos,and concerts.
Robby Krieger played bass on "Back Door Man". Larry Knechtel bass on "I Looked at You"
