 In addition to " The Changeling " , the Doors chose to incorporate three other compositions written before 1971 : " L ' America " , " Crawling King Snake " , and " The WASP ( Texas Radio and the Big Beat ) " . The former was originally recorded for the soundtrack of director Michelangelo Antonioni 's 1970 counterculture film Zabriskie Point , but ultimately rejected . It was previously titled " Latin America " , and the only work during the L.A. Woman sessions were a few drum overdubs . The Doors ' arrangement of the traditional " Crawling King Snake " dates back to their early tours , and was sometimes coupled with Morrison 's poem " Celebration of the Lizard " . " The WASP ( Texas Radio and the Big Beat ) " is a reworking of Morrison 's sample of poetry first appearing on the group 's souvenir books in 1968 . Combining double @-@ tracked spoken word , the song foreshadowed the poetic readings Morrison posthumously revealed on An American Prayer . To highlight the melancholy of " The WASP ( Texas Radio and the Big Beat ) " , Densmore devised an early use of synthesized drums .
