** In addition, a notorious incident occurred when the band appeared on ''The Ed Sullivan Show'' in 1967. Ed's camera crew insisted that the line "Girl we couldn't get much higher" be changed to "Girl we couldn't get much better" (even though the latter didn't rhyme). Krieger, who had written those words, agreed to the change - but then during the actual performance (at least as depicted in Oliver Stone's film), Morrison lurches right at the camera and defiantly shouts "Girl we couldn't get much HIGHER!"....before [[A Date with Rosie Palms|slipping his hand down his pants and masturbating]]. The Doors never appeared on ''The Ed Sullivan Show'' again.

*** That was only in the film. In reality, the Ed Sullivan people told the Doors to change the lyrics to "Girl, you really light my fire" days before the show. Neither Morrison nor Krieger wanted to change it, partially because they didn't want to be censored and partially because [[Rule of Funny|they thought it'd be funny to annoy the Ed Sullivan people]]. During the show, Jim didn't add emphasis to the word "higher" nor did he make any lewd gesture outside of wearing tight leather pants. After the show, Jim said he simply forgot to change the lyrics because he was nervous.

* [[Canon Dis Continuity]]: ''Other Voices'' and ''Full Circle'' have been out-of-print since the 70's and have never been released on CD. Both albums were critical failures and commercial disasters.
