Come on baby, light my fire is doors and is classic. It also represented that technology is fire you dumb shits.

And the other one is an amazingly cheezy video game quote.

And yeah, when you guys design this shit you can come up with whatever the hell you want.

or just when we say "change it"

Not always how it works.

Obviously its the Doors but when you change it to "fiya" you make yourself sound like a twat

Kezia, let me just point out that the way things are written isn't always how they're pronounced. Second of all, you named yourself after a female that I can only presume is fictional as well.

I would do that every few hours if I were a chick.

'fiya' divides the word up into two syllables, when the american word is cut down to one. only in british english is it still two (many people still divide it up, american or not, but usually this is dependent on context - ie. 'fire my gun' instead of 'set it on fire' - of course these both could go either way, but there are trends formed in everyday speech that say that the two examples i just gave are often pronounced differently). this makes sense in the context of the song, as he's rhyming it with 'higher,' 'pyre,' etc. however, drawing the word out to get both syllables out of it does not mean it's pronounced any differently (ie. british instead of american), especially because the words it's being forced to match do not rhyme with its british counterpart.

there is a clear 'r' sound in the american pronunciation of the word 'fire.' of course as anyone badly faking a british accent will tell you (meaning "in british english..."), the 'r' in fire is optional, usually only used today to clear the word up if the schwa (/ə/ - it means 'uh') runs too close to another sonorant (most vowel sounds). and as far as 'fiya' goes, the /ə/ is only in british english, dropped in the american pronunciation. so no, 'fiya' is not how morrison would or did pronounce fire, even drawing it out for the purpose of a song. dude was from florida.

You're thinking about what I said too literally. Of course 'fire' has a specific and proper pronunciation, whether that be in British or American English. However, there are times (like songs, where something is pronounced differently than the title would imply if we're going by straight up proper linguistics and whatnot).

If we're going to get technical about it all, I'm not implying that's how it's pronounced in the song. I wrote it out as 'fiya' because I was having fun with it and that's how I sing 'fire.' "RYAN STARTED THE FIYAAAAAAAAAA."

And also, in the actual song, he pronounces it differently a few times. Near the end you can easily hear him not fully pronouncing it and sometimes it even sounds like he's saying 'fi-yer.'

I mean, it's a song, not someone orally delivering their Master's thesis.

Pretty sure anyone who sees "Fiya" is gonna say it as "Fi-ya" not "Fi-yer" like the Americanized version so therefore people are gonna look at it and go "Oh the Doors?...No, thats a bastardized version"

I didn't say he says "fiya" or "fi-ya." I said he doesn't say it the same way every time and that it sometimes sounds like he's saying "fi-yer."
