In 1967, Ed Sullivan asked Jim Morrison to amend the lyrics for “Light My Fire” to not say, “Girl, we couldn’t get much higher.”

Producers recommended the singer change it to, “Girl, we couldn’t get much better,” but Jim stood his ground, sang the original lyrics, and the band was banned from ever returning.
