Song Parodies -> Blake Gone Through (and Huxley Besides)
| Original Song Title: | "Break on Through (to the Other Side)" |
| Original Performer: | The Doors |
| Parody Song Title: | "Blake Gone Through (and Huxley Besides)" |
| Parody Written by: | John A. Barry |
A parody about The Doors deriving the band's name from Aldous Huxley's book "The Doors of Perception." Huxley in turn had taken the title from William Blake's "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell," in which Blake wrote, "If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is—infinite." Doors front man Jim Morrison borrowed directly from Blake's The Pickering Manuscript in "End of the Night": Some are born to sweet delight/Some are born to [the] endless night.

Thank you, Mr. Blake!
There was a singer once, I forget his name (really made an impression, huh?) who named his backup band the Owls, because his favorite American band was the Byrds and his favorite British band was The Who, and an owl is a bird that goes "Hoo!" Somewhere, there's gotta be a guy who named his band the Woodpeckers, because a woodpecker is a bird that makes its own doors. Actually, if Johnny D had a band, there's its name.
Naaah, the name of my band would be The Michael Pacholeks. All right, don't everybody throw up at once.
