"Wishful Sinful" is a song by American rock band the Doors. Group guitarist Robby Krieger wrote the tune, which was first released in March 1969 as a single, as well as on the band's fourth album, The Soft Parade, later in July. "Wishful Sinful" follows the general theme of the album by incorporating elements of classical music.
In April 1969, the single reached No. 44 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 28 on the Cash Box Top 100 chart.[1][2] In Denmark, it peaked at No. 3, where it stayed in the Top 10 for a month.[3]
