"I'm Horny, I'm Stoned" is a honky-tonk inflected rock song written by Robby Krieger for The Doors. It appeared on the band's 1971 album Other Voices, recorded for Elektra Records during the period when the remaining members were continuing without Jim Morrison. The composition opens with characteristically irreverent lyrics and carries a playful, offbeat humor throughout, delivered with a loose, groove-oriented feel that shifts between hoedown-like energy and unpredictable tangents. Krieger wrote the piece for his own lead vocal delivery, accompanying himself on guitar and harmonica, with Ray Manzarek on keyboards and John Densmore on drums. The song represents a lighter, more freewheeling side of Krieger's songwriting, distinct from the brooding intensity typically associated with The Doors' classic catalog. Its unvarnished, tongue-in-cheek character captures the band in an experimental phase as they worked to redefine their identity as a trio. The composition remains a deep cut, rarely discussed outside the context of the Other Voices album and not known to have been covered by other artists. For listeners exploring The Doors' post-Morrison output, it offers a glimpse of Krieger's willingness to embrace humor and country-tinged stylistic departures in his songwriting.
