I love Thievery Corp...yet, I am of the Doors decade and prefer the old version...some stuff shouldn't be messed with.

Don't ever want hear this again! In another day & age I'd attribute scatterbrained shite like this to excessive use of powdered cocaine. Today, I can't be sure... maybe cellphones DO actually scramble the brainwaves,  but it's the link between SUBSTANCE ABUSE / MUSICAL ABUSE is clearly evident here. Bear don't lissen' to no freakin remixers!

Oh no. The Lizard King has been turned into a Euro Trash Lounge Lizard

without trying to be mean about it, I wonder at what point this track gets pulled from the RP playlist....average rating is 4.9 with 349 total rates; hmmmm.....I even feel I over-rated it because it's a Doors song...and well my 6 is coming down to a 5 now.

I'd be more than happy for this track to be replaced with the Sonia Dada track (I tried to upload and got an immediate rejection) "You Don't Treat Me No Good."

As a big fan of The Doors 6 studio albums, and the many live recordings I've heard over the years, I'd rate the  original song a 9, and this combination only a 6.  Not sure yet if I dig it or not.  I did like your pun though {#Fire}

The Anoushka Shankar track off this album that is also played at RP is pretty darn good, but this track is just middle of the road. How's the rest of the album I wonder?

Ouch. 
Thievery Corp is otherwise always OK or good.
Not here. I'm going with a 3 because, you know, it's sort of more Jim Morrison than a messy mash up. 
This corporation is like the product of so many other corporations in this country. Mediocre junk passed off as creative excellence. 

On the other hand, this being the day before Mr. T is installed on his throne as if he's our messiah, it's a mash up of strange fucking days indeed.

I like the Doors and I like the Thievery Corporation but I'm not sure about this? I think I owe it to both bands to give it a second listen before forming an opinion. However I'm not optimistic. 
Posted 8 years ago by ScottishWillie    [ Reply ]
Very interesting.  Is that really an extracted Jim Morrison voice track mixed in or another singer?  If it is a voice track, did they have access to the original unmixed tapes or is it computer extracted from the mixed song?

Despite writing this back in 2007, I inexplicably rated it a 1.  I think maybe I rated it first, being initially shocked at the blasphemous mashup, then got into the groove and wrote that I liked it.  Who knows?  I'm increasing my rating to 7.

Not many songs make me head for the volume knob but this one does. I also grew up with the Doors and that might be the reason I think this version sucks. However, I also grew up with Abba and the Eurythmics and have heard remixed versions of their songs that I thought were great.

So do I - I'm astonished at all the sucko-barfo ratings, which has to be the most I've ever seen for a song on RP. Maybe it's folks who know the Doors original who loathe the remix. Luckily I've never heard the original so I can judge this on its own merits. 7 from the Nottingham jury.

If Jim Morrison were alive today he'd be overweight, hair thinning, and would have his own reality TV show, and this would be his great comeback song. 7 Go Jim!

Usually I like remakes - usually. Gets a 4 from me. I dunno, maybe I'm a purist when it comes to The Doors. IMHO their original sound was fantastic enough as it was; it stands alone. I'm just not sure how it could be improved upon, given their roots and time in history, messages, and the like. Opinions vary though.

The question I ask of a cover (and a remix is a type of a cover) is: Does it contribute something, artistically, that is beyond what the original artist was able to bring forth? George Winston's rendition of Crystal Ship, for instance... while I did not personally care for it... brought something to the piece that the Doors had not. In regards of the Thievery Corporation's remix of the Doors' Strange DaysI find it not only to have added nothing, but to have diminished the song significantly. In short... it sucks!
