- It was a few weeks before I first heard the uncut version of Light My Fire
- and then understood just what the reference to
- "the time for hesitation's through" since
- the pop version cuts out the entire instrumental portion. In spite of this,
- it's still fairly long.
-
- I think the record for chopping a song is a tossup between the excised version
- of Spinning Wheel and We Won't Get Fooled Again, which sometimes sounds like
- it's little more than the opening movement and "meet the new boss, same as the
- old boss" and a fadeout (the 25 second version).
-
- The record for chopping variants has to be Heart of Glass. Most of the
- versions I have heard are about the same length, but tend to excise in quite
- different ways. Some even sound as if jumbled up and partially repeated.
