what did Jim Morrison mean when he sang the lyrics "i eat more chicken any man ever seen"

It means he eats more pussy than any man he ever seen. As for Jim being stoned and drunk, so what? So was everyone else back then. He was just better at it. Let me just add one more pussy before my post gets deleted (quite possibly along with the whole thread). Pussy.

Howlin' Wolf's version of "backdoor man" is better than the doors'

if you havent heard it, you should.

The Doors? Jim Morrison? He's a drunken buffoon posing as a poet.

Yeah, and who the f*** was Lester Bangs? An overrated hack posing as a "rock journalist" who drugged himself to death.

In John Densmore's autobiography, he states,

"'You men eat your dinner, eat your pork and beans,

I eat more chicken than any man ever seen . . .'

It took me a while to realise that the verse was about other men only sleeping with their wives while the singer was sleeping with all of them, but having to steal away in the middle of the night..."

He is referring to the Pioneer Chicken stand which was on the corner of Sunset and La Cienega. He ate there regularly and it was one of his favorite restaurants...

Christ you guys are dumb sometimes...

It has to do with women and sex and stuff, so it is pointless to discuss on these boards.

Really? Out of all the Jim Morrison's lyrics you don't understand that lyric. But you understand "The snake is long...seven miles...ride the snake"?

Thats a relief, I thought he was trying to say he was a niggle.

Jim Morrisson was a homosexual. "Chicken" refers to male junk.

Labia, duh!

What about lamb chops? What would those mean?

Dude, he was high, stoned and totally oblivious to most of the world when he wrote over 90% of his lyrics.

As previously stated, Jim Morrison did not write Back Door Man.

jim morrison's rock star ego was much greater than his poetic talent.

When you can write songs like him and sing like him then I'll take you seriously, even if you ugly.

If you think Jim Morrison being a drunk is somehow a strike against his "poetry", you obviously don't know much about poets.

Who are you replying too? Not me I hope? I think his songwriting is way ahead of what most rock stars have done.

His drunkeness was a serious problem though. Then he turned to heroin which some say is the true cause of his mysterious death.

Just the general sentiment in this thread, not you in particular. Plenty of great poets/authors/musicians/artists have had terrible drug addictions, so saying "oh, he was a drunk, ignore everything he said" is dumb.

Its a metaphor, he says you men eat pork and beans for dinner, but I eat lots of chicken. On one literal level, he is saying that when he sneaks over to your house and sleeps with your woman, she makes him the best stuff and just feeds you the cheap crap for dinner. Metaphorically, he is saying she does him like an animal, upside down and backwards and she just phones it in with you.

Wolf was the man! And Hubert sumlin on guitar was a genius.

To the OP, the chicken reference means that the women cook beans for their husbands but chicken for the singer (eg, Morrison or wolf) - in other words, their man on the side (back door man) gets the better treatment because he lays better pipe than the husband.

So the back door man is also a plumber?
