Jim Morrison says this while the guitar is being played loudly by the Doors' guitarist Robbie Krieger. In an excited state Morrison encourages his guitarist on "Do it! Robbie! Do it!" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robby_Krieger Jul 19 09, 11:51 PM

The wikipedia/RobbyKrieger site does not mention the "do it" phrase. It does not say he played guitar on The Doors version of the song. Try again! Jul 20 09, 12:07 AM

Lonnie Mack...The one and only: One classic moment is when Morrison shouts "Do it, Lonnie! Do it!" when Mack rips off the solo. Lonnie Mack was playing bass on that song and had borrowed Krieger's guitar to develop some blues guitar lines. Mack also played the lead guitar solo on the track, but was only credited for bass as to not embarrass Krieger. Krieger copied some of Mack's lines in later takes. No one really knows whose take made it on the final cut. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadhouse_Blues http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonnie_Mack Jul 20 09, 9:41 AM
