Disarticulation 

When song writers slur or make up words to fill a void to carry the tune.
Jim Morrison uses disarticulation to carry the flow of the tune in the song "light my fire".

The phrase goes:

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Jim slurs the second line to be: No time to wallow window mire

It flows better and it sounds cool. Its the equivalent to poetic license in the world of singing.

Disarticulation is an artistic technique that allows singers to flow their phrases to create songs from poems.

doorwall 

A door wall is a sliding-glass door or patio door. The term is yet another example of banal Michigan vernacular, where in the residents latch on to company names, trademark names, marketing terms and product names from local companies. The terms become embedded in the local vocabulary and eventually become accepted as actual valid words and phrases. In this case the term comes from Wallside Windows in Taylor, MI (a large window manufacturer), where 'door wall' is their created word for sliding-glass door.
