Incidentally it’s the only iron butterfly song that I know rip I've mentioned it before, but the lore of the song was that it was the story of a guy and his girlfriend. They were doing LSD and he had a bad trip. In his actions, he knocks her unconscious. Thinking he's killed her, he buries her in a makeshift box. The slow drum woodblock portion is her heartbeat as she comes to and the screeching guitar is her screams as she realizes what is happening. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doom Metal Alchemist Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 RIP. Inna Gadda Da Vida is a great album, and the title track in particular is a landmark in heavy rock music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally the lyrics were the "in the garden of eden" but it was never recorded that way. When Doug Ingle was in the middle of writing the song, another member of the band came in and asked him what he was working on. Ingle drunk of his ass, meant to say "in the garden of eden" but it came out more like "Inna gadda da vida." The band member he was talking to liked how that sounded and wrote it down, and shared it with Ingle the next day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
