Doors. My very first bell ringer, but it is likable. I'll watch the rotation...

Thank you scraig, for honouring the true meaning of this song

Criticism of The Doors 45 years after the fact just serves to prove the power of their music, whether or not you think you can improve it.

Please explain what in the lyrics is "sanctimonious" (which means "hypocritically pious or devout")?  For that matter, why is it an "anthem"? 

The lyrics just comment on the rapid loss of habitat and biodiversity taking place due to humans' impact.  The data about rainforest destruction by humans couldn't be any more objective.  That's undeniable fact — unless one possesses absolutely amazing powers of denial (in which case, the term "santimonious" would almost be fitting...).

I always love hearing this on RP, so I clicked on the link to buy it on iTunes.
Hearing it on my MP3 gave it a whole new presence and made me concentrate on the lyrics,
 which blew my mind

"Less and less of us every day
The humans have screwed us in the human way...
I was frog, now I'm a song"

This should be the Green Party's theme tune!

Thank you RP for bringing us these gems!

Perhaps a nice segue from this would be Kiss that Frog by Peter Gabriel. Completely different uh, frog, but interesting nonetheless.

Totally. Just clicked on browser to see who this is, thinking "man, sounds like Morrison, and like what I would envision the Doors to sound like in modern day.  Very cool.

Seriously, I'm just averse to when a singer sings from the perspective of a frog.  Is that so hideous?
 
Since frogs can't speak to us of their problems of survival, it takes a creative mind to do so. Did he make you think about the destruction of the world's rainforests? If yes, then he has met his goal. If not, it probably wouldn't matter anyway. Some minds cannot be reached.
