Five to One, by The Doors.
Some of y’all know this song, and some of y’all know this sample. I’ve been listening to The Doors episode of the Bandsplain podcast, and the little clip they played of this and, well, all the other Jim Morrison bits and pieces reminded me pretty explicitly of what is best tagged as “my Jim Morrison period” so I figured this number would be a somewhat less dramatic way to channel it a little. As opposed to, say, The End. But I still kinda feel like doing Moonlight Drive.
The version from the double live CD compilation from the ’90s is the one that plays in my head, so I sing parts of the end in that cadence, even though I didn’t drop everything out or banter with the crowd or anything.
I really should’ve given the guitar solo another take or two, but the new dog wasn’t enjoying the high notes, and apparently is of course not a fan of my scream-singing, as evidenced by me looking around at him and trying to figure out if he was about to drop bombs on the office rug while I did the vocal video.
[UPDATE: I messed up the day count, maybe for the first time? Fixed it now.]
