The Green Door is also a famous 70s porn. The bar the Green Door in Park Hall Maryland, the local watering hole for St. Mary's College of Maryland is named after this porn.

[edit] Inspiration behind the song

I've just removed the edit;

However, the song itself was written in the USA in 1956 and has no contemporary connection to any club in Britain. Instead it is a song about a latter-day 'speakeasy' of which 'Hernando's Hideaway' released in 1955 was another example. In the latter, the password "Joe sent me" was effective in gaining entry, whereas it failed dismally in 'Green Door'.Newington 15:05, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Which is unsourced, inaccurate (the gateway club opened in 1930)and wonders off the point with the Hernando's hideaway point. By all means add an alternative opinion on the source of inspiration for the song, just keep it neutral, source it,stay relevant and don't sign it!FelixFelix ^talk 17:04, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I think the previous editor Newington was basically correct. I've amended the article accordingly. The 'Hernando's Hideaway' reference is worth investigating. Jonathan Luckett 08:25, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
