"Love Me Two Times" is a well-known song by The Doors. It was written by Robby Krieger and first appeared on the 1967 album Strange Days. It was released as the second single (after "People Are Strange") from that album, and made #25 on the charts in the US. [1]
Ray Manzarek played the final version of this song on a clavinet (the modern-day version of a clavichord), not a harpsichord.
Apparently, "Love Me Two Times" was considered very risque for radio airplay.[citation needed]
According to band members, the song was about a soldier/sailor on his last day with his girlfriend before shipping out, ostensibly to war (Vietnam).[citation needed]
[edit] Aerosmith version
"Love Me Two Times" was covered by Aerosmith for the soundtrack of the 1990 film Air America and for their presence, in the same year, on MTV Unplugged.[2] The 1990 cover reached #27 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. In 2001, the song was included on their greatest hits album, Young Lust: The Aerosmith Anthology. In addition, their version was included on the Doors tribute album Stoned Immaculate.
It was also covered by pianist George Winston on his album Night Divides the Day - The Music of the Doors.
