and-ah-I would walk 500 miles and-ah-I would walk 500 more just to be tha man who walks a thousand miles
to fall down at your door

I'm up to 50 songs on Spotify now. Even I didn't realise there'd be so many amazing songs about someone being at the door

Paul Kelly - To Her Door

SHE SAID "SHOVE IT JACK I'M WALKIN' OUT YOUR FUCKIN' DOOR"

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Fright Night

Knock knock on the door three times
And you knock knock on the door
Said you used to talk to demons with my ouija board
But not anymore

Was (Not Was) - Walk the Dinosaur

Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody walk the dinosaur

Like, I think it's implied that the dinosaur shows up at his door while he's watching Miami Vice even though it all took place 40 million years ago? I think it might just barely qualify?

And you wake from your dream with a wolf at the door, reaching out for Veronica

Shouldn't we include also The Doors "Break on Through to the Other Side" here?

Made the scene
Week to week
Day to day
Hour to hour
The gate is strait
Deep and wide

"I was surprised to see your suitcase at the door" might be tenuous but I always assume the person is at the door ready to leave in that line, taken from First Choice "Let No Man Put Asunder" and then sampled in Rhythm On The Loose "Break Of Dawn"

also lol I made the mistake of turning on noticfcations for that that thread on Facebook and my phone has been blowing up, what happened to your exile from it anyway?

Talk about anti-climactic.

Ween, "So Many People in the Neighborhood"

"How's about a piece of pie? (ding dong ding dong)"

boxedjoy - about a week after I left I got offered to put on a regular night which I had to promote and basically it's impossible to do that, at least to start with, if you don't have Facebook. That, and it's very addictive. It was a very good relaxing week though I must say

John Martyn - Dealer

Let me in let me in let me in

'The Day Before You Came' is more vague, and possibly more menacing as a result, but that's another thread.

― Le Baton Rose (Turrican)

saying "the day before you came" is "sinister" is one step away from saying "in the air tonight" was about that time phil collins saw somebody get murdered

anyway. barnacle bill.

The Ghouls - Dracula's Theme

fwiw quite keen to not include metaphorical doors or vague references to doors or door-like entranceways here peeps. the song has to be about somebody being at the door

Death, "Keep On Knocking"

Dubstar, "Not So Manic Now"

Aeon, "Doorknocker"

Phil Collins “In the Air Tonight”

?

Chris Stamey, "The Summer Sun"

The Ex and Tom Cora, "A Door"

The Replacements - "Kick Your Door Down"

did anyone say The Walk by The Cure yet?

I called you after midnight
Then ran until I burst
I passed the howling woman
And stood outside your door

Bob Marley - Waiting In Vain <-- i could be wrong but this has a bit about knocking on a door for three years i think?

Van Morrison - Dweller At The Threshold

^ I wouldn't wish homelessness on anyone but I do like to think that this is literally about Van living on someone's doorstep

B52s - Love Shack

Hank Williams - Never Again (Will I Knock on Your Door)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jts27gZfKQo

tbh this is kind of an anti-example, being about NOT being at the door

Carole King "So Far Away"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UofYl3dataU

So far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door

and he came to a door...
and he looked inside...
"Father?"
"Yes, son?"
"I want to kill you"

perhaps insufficient "someone" and "literal door" content, but I've had "The Claw" by Ten Benson in my head since I first read this thread title, so: claw's scratching at my door

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftbCvjlS_pg

(or skip halfway through for the main draw of the song, the weird-vacuuming-noise solo)

This Mortal Coil - "Another Day"

Have could we have come so far without mentioning Jimmy Nail's "Ain't No Doubt"?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iF47M3YDlg

Jim even does a helpful mime to help us visual someone knocking at a door:

Early this morning
When you knocked upon my door
And I said "Hello Satan
I believe it's time to go"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYsnRc09csQ

I was trying to think if Madness had ever done one. 'Embarrassment' ('Stay away from our door') is the only one I can think of.

I linked to Uncle Sam a little ways upthread.

'here they come again, hop scotching up to my door'

Deep Purple - Knockin' At Your Back Door
Zep - Nobody's Fault But Mine ("Somebody open that DINGDONGDINGDONG)

Now, who is that knocking?
Who's knocking at my chamber door?
Now could it be the police?
They come and take me for a ride-ride
Oh, but I haven't got the time-time
Hey, hey, hey, she's busy sucking on my ding-dong

Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
