Alsatian before The Doors
Aug 20 2009, 03:39 PM
Hey NP,
That's Ray Manzerek on those keyboards! Playing like 40 years ago. Listen and you may drift right back to The Doors.
Weird Al is so funny, and he makes a touching tribute really.
How many songs did you hear in this? There is When The Music's Over, obviously, but I think Al got the timbre of Riders On The Storm in the rhythm of his voice. And Twentieth Century Fox is there too, kinda....look....
Well we shared a quick glance
Saturday at the mall
I never took a chance
Never approached you at all
Well she's fashionably lean
And she's fashionably late
She'll never break a scene
She'll never break a date
see? same rhythm.
Course, there's Road House Blues there too
Be bom ba chomb cadonk bin bam boo!
Don't you think Light My Fire is also there, in the keyboards, with Riders On The Storm again in the raindrop notes? And then there's the close-to-the-edge-of-breaking-thru guitar, like sudden ripples in a still pool, as in The End.
Well, that lady in the golden dress moves dreamy, entrancing, and Ray wrote that part especially for the way she moves. That's what I think. Sheri told me she is in slow motion, but I don't want to believe her. But that's ok, it's all good...
Baby C'mon......yeah...
