I'm sure you've seen "Bunny Lake Is Missing," which uses "Just out of Reach" to some effect. Then there's the end of the Door's "Touch Me," where Morrison sings, "Strong-er-than-dirt" with the song's last four notes.
Yup (and thanks for commenting!)...Morrison's hatred of and desired to sabotage "Touch Me" was mentioned in the YT comments on the Ajax ad. And, oddly enough, given the subject matter of Bunny Lake is Missing, the Zombies are also heard and seen performing "She's Not There"...some day, I should make a double feature for myself of Bunny and Catch Us if You Can...and/or, or course, Blow-up with the Yardbirds...but even if I add Help!, I'll spare myself One Plus One/Sympathy for the Devil(maybe the Python parody of that one).
