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.

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 :-)

I used to worship The Doors when I was young; then I grew up and discarded them. Now I appreciate them for what they are, and I don't look for any deeper meaning; I am thankful for what they meant to me at a tough time in my life. With that said, I'll concur with many of the other commenters: this song sucks.

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.

from Paco De Lucia - Concierto de Aranjuez, it was such a great transition!!

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".
