Product Information

Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn September 17th 1967, the Doors performed "People Are Strange" on the CBS-TV program 'The Ed Sullivan Show'... Herminio from Rosario, ArgentinaSorry but the first "fact" was at John´s house, not Robbie´s. I´m pretty shure about it because I have John´s book. Joshvall from Huittinen, FinlandNady from Adelaide, actually Jim was quite fat and kind of nerd too during his teen years. So it's really possible that this song has got some inspriration of that also. Moi-même from ParisWhile Morrisson did write songs about drugs, reducing this one to a bad trip would be dumbing it down. The way I see it, it's a brilliant description of the freudian uncanny.

Six days earlier on September 17th, 1969* the song had entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #65... Dev01d from Wollongong, AustraliaThis is my favourite song by The Doors, also my favourite song to play on guitar. I just play the intro over and over. I think it's deffinately about depression and feeling alienated and doubt it's about drugs. I agree with Dustin that it's pretty stupid how people can't look past people's drug use. On the same show the quartet also performed "Light My Fire"; and at the time it was in its 17 week on the Top 100 and at position #32... Lalah from Wasilla, AkThis is the theme music that runs through my head when I am walking through airports.

Rich from St.pete, FlI agree with tori. it is about a trip- finding it difficult to recognize faces, sometimes they are distorted and ugly in the dark, and it's all you. and he used "seem" Heather from Irving, Txthis is a badass song first off cause its very true people are strange but all in different ways!very strange.. Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn September 22nd 1967, the Doors performed "People Are Strange" on the WPIX-TV program 'The Murray the K Show' from New York City...

Danny Brown from Rumson, NjIn Danny Sugarman's book "No One Here Gets Out Alive" he states jim was driving down a road and saw hippies dancing in the field and came up with the lyric...people are strange...is that true? Elysia from Hamilton, New ZealandYou're probably all right. I think this song is about lonliness in general, this can be caused while tripping or depression or whatever. We all tend to feel alienated sometimes, Jim's mind saw things through in extreme measures..so why does it have to be literal? Maybe he felt that in his little world at the time he wrote it - that faces came out of the rain. Who knows what he was thinking and feeling at the time, but whatever you take from the song is probably right. He was an amazing poet that could and still can reach all of us on different levels. Rebeka from Rijeka, CroatiaThis is my favourite Doors song.The lyrics is so simple but so smart.I can just listen it all day long. Craig from Dunedin, New ZealandThis lyric is so introverted,sounds like extreme loneliness-blows me away every time! pssst...keep this a secret...Jim croons Tuesdays and Saturdays at a pub in town here,thinly disguised yank accent...

See next posted below; and I made a mistake there, Sept. 17th is the correct date that "People Are Strange" did enter the Top 100.. Tori from Boston, MaIt's about LSD. "When you're strange" is referring to when you're on drugs. Depression doesn't make faces come out of the rain. Lance from Malibu, CaI feel that the lyrics and meaning are open for all to interept. I can see the drug part but I can also see the other insperations as well Erin from Arlington, NeI don't know whether the song is the result of depression or drugs, all i know is that i can't get this song out of my head, it's something everyone can relate to. Nady from Adelaide, Australiaumm im pretty sure Jim Morrison was never a "fat nerd" there may be a hint of jealousy in the air, eh James?ilovejimmorrisonmorethanyoucoulddream
