Trivia Answer

Yesterday I asked, "Jim Morrison was the front man for which band?"

Nobody answered the question.

The answer to this question is "The Doors."

Then, I also wrote, "Extra trivia: When this band performed on the Ed Sullivan show, what song was performed and what word were they not supposed to sing but sang anyway?"

I'll break it down.

When The Doors performed on the Ed Sullivan show, what song did they perform?

The Doors performed, "Light My Fire."

So , when The Doors performed "Light My Fire" on the Ed Sullivan show, they were not supposed to sing one of the words in the song.  Jim Morrison promised that he would not sing the word, but he sang it anyway.  What was the word?

That word was "higher."

The reason he was not supposed to sing "higher" is because the producers said that it referenced drug use.

Jim Morrison gave the excuse that they had performed the song that way so many times that it slipped his mind.  However, he and The Doors still got in trouble and were banned from the Ed Sullivan show and told that they would never perform on the show again.  At that, he said, "So, we've already performed on The Ed Sullivan Show."
