"
Touch Me" is a song by
The Doors from their album
The Soft Parade. Written by
Robby Krieger, it is notable for its extensive usage of brass and string instruments (including a solo by featured saxophonist
Curtis Amy) as well as a
Christmas Music like sound to accent
Jim Morrison's vocals. Ray Manzarek played harpsichord and organ on the song. The song also borrowed the guitar riff from the 1967 Four Seasons' "
C'mon Marianne" and used it on keyboards. The song is also noted for the last sung line, "stronger than dirt," which was taken from a 1962
Ajax commercial. The Ajax company sued the Doors for plagiarizing the ad's trademark tune. The Doors paid the financial damages in a settlement to the Ajax company.
