Not to sounds like a nitpicker or burst tfcrew's bubble or anything but Jim Morrison was a film student at UCLA and it wasn't Jim who suggested doing a cover of this for The Doors' debut album it was Ray Manzarek; the Piano/Organ/Bass player for The Doors. And on a personal note; I think The Doors did a damn good job converting this into a rock n' roll song. If any other artist at that time tried it would've just fallen flat imo

Hey.
This is not a Doors original. WHile they brought it home, it was originally compsed by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht in 1929. It was used in a controversial 1930 German operetta called The Rise And Fall Of The City Of Mahogany.
Get your facts straight Benjamin...
