There's a street named Andalucia in Venice Ca.
I ride by there and speculate if this influenced young Jim back in the day...

Robby Krieger was a child prodigy and a very accomplished flamenco guitar player long before the Doors. How DARE he want to perform a song with some flamenco... soooo pretentious.

Further proof that not everything the Doors did was great, or even "good". Singing along with scales went out of style in the 14th century. I'd give this a zero but the scale only goes down to "1".
 
Singing along with scales?  The 14th century you say?  Your personal scale only goes to "1"???

The pretentiousness continues... but not from the band.

Three and half years later and I still stand by this statement.

The only thing "pretentious" here is the two of you.  You really should stop using words that are too big for you.

Same here.  I knew it was coming, but I'm still not sure where Paco De Lucia ends and The Doors begin.

Bill!  Segue this into the version by Ozzie Hergenheimer's Wisconsin Accordion Orchestra — I can upload it if you want :-)

An interesting way to arrive at that conclusion.  I never liked this tune much either, but I can understand why it's so important to a lot of other folks.

yeah but it has that quasi-classical intro that makes for some cool song transitions so Bill won't put it away...just dreadful.  Bill, there are other songs much less horrid than this, please put this one on a shelf.

Yes. Sort of a lesson in why it's good for musicians to go to study their craft. Mom said, "You'd better practice, Johnny or you'll end up sounding like the Doors".

Art, I started scrolling back through the comments just to see how many times you kvetched about this song...and then I saw this. 

Perfect. Made me burst out laughing. One of Will Ferrell's better spoofs.  

I still like the song, but yes it is a bit lumbering and pretentious. And yes—you do bitch about "Spanish Caravan" like clockwork.
