Why is there a track listing for the songs that appear on Will Young's single release? Who cares? It is mentioned that "Light My Fire", the subject of the article, is on Will Young's single. I don't think it's important which other songs appear with it. It's outta here!
Is this really necessary? I mean, do we really have to explain what it means to get high?
Image:WY LMF.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

No mention is made in this article of Carol Kaye's claim to have played bass on The Doors recording of "Light My Fire". It seems to me that this is worthy of mention should this article get a rewrite.

Yes, it's the major to relative minor sequence where the major is actually a minor. This is heard on another track on their album. Presumably it's played in Am, with the progression being Am - F#m and so forth. This is quite rare in western music but was used by Brecht, elicits a dark tone.

The article states "Ray Manzarek's keyboard playing descends ... [through various chords]." The sentence should be edited, however, to refer specifically to Manzarek's organ intro and outro to the tune, rather than to "keyboard playing" generally. 98.244.137.86 ( talk) 17:34, 14 February 2023 (UTC)kolef 98.244.137.86 ( talk) 17:34, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

At the end of thee final instrumental, the bang sings the Ajax cleaner slogan, "Stronger than dirt", to end the song. Could this be mentioned in the article?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 8.14.187.119 ( talk) 01:50, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
The section on speed discrepency states that some versions are at slightly highre pitch than other versions, yet is totally ambiguous about which version is the correct one. Is the correct speed the higher pitched)faster) version or the lower pitrched (slower) version? Would the author please resolve this significant ambiguity please, and in the future create clearer prose. thank you. 99.2.69.172 ( talk) 02:00, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I'd like to see further substantiation that the correct versions are the sped-up ones. The recently released versions of "Light My Fire" with the quicker speed just don't sound right! The 45 rpm version may have been sped up (besides severely edited). However, the full album version was always just over seven minutes in length. Packzap ( talk) 18:14, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
