The incident was reminiscent of the band's performance on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in 1967, when the host demanded the Stones change the lyrics to "Let's Spend the Night Together." As ordered, Jagger sang "let's spend some time together," but he rolled his eyes for effect.



Did anyone ever hear about the time The Doors played on Ed Sullivan's show? They asked Jim Morrison not to sing the lyrics "Girl, we couldn't get much higher" in the song Light My Fire.

Morrison ignored the request of Sullivan's producer and sang it anyway, leaning towards the camera as he sang the line. By all accounts, Sullivan and his production staff were not amused.

Were told they'd never be on again but were on two more times.
