Released: November 1967 from the album "Strange Days"

It was later edited to a 2:37 length and released as the second single (after "People Are Strange") from that album. The single reached number 25 on the charts in the United States.

Doors guitarist Robby Krieger wrote this song and "Light My Fire" in about an hour.

Krieger's lyrics for "Love Me Two Times" were inspired by both The Doors going on the road and American soldiers going to Vietnam.

Through most of the song, Jim Morrison left off the "s" in "two times," creating a double meaning to the phrase.

Ray Manzarek recorded the bass line on keyboard and played the final version of this song on a harpsichord, not a clavichord.

Length
3:16 (album version) 2:37 (single version)

Jim Morrison took the band's name from Aldous Huxley's book on mescaline, The Doors of Perception, which in turn referred to a line in a poem by William Blake.
