Light My Fire – The Doors
This 1967 hit came with writing credits for John Densmore, Robby Krieger, Ray Manzarek, and Jim Morrison. The following year, Buick offered them $75k to use “Come on, Buick, light my fire” in a commercial. Morrison had been in London and could not be reached, so the other band members agreed. When the frontman found out, he threatened Buick that he will smash one of their cars using a sledgehammer on TV if they went ahead with the plan.

John Fogerty wrote this song, which came out in 1969. Apparently, he composed it after he watched The Devil and Daniel Webster. He explained that it was a reference to “the apocalypse that was going to be visited upon us.”
