What is saying? Is he talking about Indica?
Classic 1 hit wonder
Iron Butterfly’s 1968 song “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” is arguably the first heavy metal hit. The original version of the song that appeared on the In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida album was 17-minutes long, but it was edited down to under 3 minutes for radio play.
The song reached #30 in the US, the band’s only top 40 hit. Its namesake album In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida was the best selling album of 1969.
The original name for the song was “In the Garden of Eden,” but Ingle garbled the title when telling it to drummer Ron Bushy—and it stuck.
