Our first rehearsal. We were put into groups, discussed song options, and made initial arrangements on the same day. This version shows how we tried to turn 70s psychedelic The Doors song into a funky, modern hip-hop-ish track.

We added an into which is a hat tip to the original version, as well as to surprise listeners on where we are taking this song to. We've also added a second backing vocals. Hence, you will hear low and high vocals singing the chorus part.

We added a break before the second chorus. And we've also divided the second chorus into two parts: one that has only the drums, rhythm guitar, and rap, and the other part which has everyone playing together (including backing vocals). The arrangement is tighter this time.

This is the version that we performed on stage. Changes include having the high backing singer to do the 'riders on the storm' chorus and the low backing singer to do the 'like a dog without a bone' as well as making the song a bit faster. Energy is what we're trying to pour out through this song. You can hear that the rapper gets more aggressive and the drums get wilder. Enjoy.
