Peace Frog - the Doors

Peace Frog - the Doors
2:50
Morrison Hotel, 1970
Written by Jim Morrison and Robby Krieger

A funky, slinky, toe-tapping, up-tempo number from the Doors.  I'm no Doors expert, but it seems to me to be quite a departure from their signature sound.  I learned that it was written as an instrumental first, and Morrison later found some older poems that fit the song; that probably explains it.  A two-line spoken-word break about dead Indians on the highway mars an otherwise perfect song.
