One of the ultimate classic rock organ songs. And - one I've played many, many times - and I've never been able to play the organ bridge the same twice! I've talked with other musicians and they have the same problem at times. Chet Atkins was famously quoted as saying that he'd never played ANY song exactly the same twice.

Light My Fire also got me temporarily banned from the church organ. See Album 19 -  A Few Incidents.
