In A Gadda Da Vida - Iron Buttefly I

[TrustWithTreason]

Doesn't the guy right under the "Da" look like Ashton Kutcher?

[SOULFISTICATED]

WHAT!!!!???? Who gotta be high to enjoy this master piece!?

Any one know what In-A-Gadda-....means?

[RedKuolema]

@SOULFISTICATED  in-a-gadda => in the garden

[atbglenn]

Great song. Reminds me of the days I first started smoking pot and doing acid in the late 60's.

[mongoose121212]

It's missing like 40 minutes?

[thatfilmgeekguy]

RIP frances dollarhyde

[4acidman]

@thatfilmgeekguy Agreed

[kushasaures]

I heard this originally being "in the garden of eden" but religious people bitched, and so they changed it, to something that makes you think that line, because of the similarity in pronunciation. Remember, the Christians back then thought rock n roll was devils music.

[supercollin1]

@kushasaures Nope. It was because they were high, and the words "In the Garden of Eden" came out: "In a Gadda Da Vida." This is entirely true. enDOTwikipediaDOTorg/wiki/In-A­-Gadda-Da-Vida

[goodideas77]

I love how a song these days cant be popular unless its 3 or 4 minuets long, oh to be in that time

[Ttrain909]

They were actually too stoned or drunk to say "In the garden of eden" so this is what came up :P

[tremor1127]

@Ttrain909 thats entirely true. :)

[assassincred56]

Freddy Kruger brought me here also.

[Kubuki013]

When your kicking back with alittle window pane Lysergic acid puffing some opium.them it makes all the sence in the world.plus it's a givin when your from that era.i have the album signed by the band.seen them and steppenwolf together.rock in peace Lou.

[Jeffieboi]

This Simpsons brought me here. I was watching an old episode where Bart sold his soul.

[16nowhereman]

What does this song say: "Se me acaba la vida?" or "in the garden of eden?" or just bunch of nonsense? Great song though. I love it when I make it last double than the original 28 minutes. That's how long I need to drink my beer with tequila.

[NoctiferiusImmanis]

@16nowhereman look up the lyrics in the internet xD yes, it says "in the garden of eden". it just sounds like "in a gadda da vida"

[tremor1127]

@NoctiferiusImmanis no matter how you want to see it. they were too wasted to actually say in the garden of eden and they thought it sounded cool and took it from there. it doesnt just sound like "in a gadda da vida" they are SAYING "in a gadda da vida" :)

[fobiagrl]

I heard this song a long time ago on The Simpsons, lol xD

Been hearing it since. =)

[absintheacid]

when i get my band i sware i'm making a trippy ass cover of this song

[Ramiro2350]

Comparto que este acetato-en ese entonces- nos llevaba al cambio. Más de 18 minutos.

[Cissurz]

sounds pretty much like justin bieber songs. Jk

[pauloemiliano11]

@Cissurz You bet your sweet ass its a joke!

[drpoundsign]

WHAT?! they didn't become Iron Maiden lol

[drpoundsign]

sorta reminds me of a Henrix Band of Gypsies Jam

[drpoundsign]

They didn't need to show videos of "Booties" in THOSE days! Original creative Genius Stones Who Zappa Byrds Doors and THESE guys!!

[drpoundsign]

Sunshine of your Love?? Scorcese used a LOT of Cream in "Goodfellas" DIDN'T he??

[drpoundsign]

or "In the Garden of Eden" on The Simpsons in church LMAO. Shades of John S Bach and longer than Handel's Messiah

[wolf69flow]

Bart Simpson's best church trick!

[mrjazzman10293]

140 people didnt get there acid trips

[rishi851]

[big5622]

[brnleague99]

[trdidion]

Home improvement season 1 ep 8 - "Flying Sauces"

[trdidion]

Sounds similar to sunshine of your love by cream

[schepler2]

@trdidion You're tone deaf if you think this sounds like "Sunshine of Your Love."

[TheBoomstickhero]

@schepler2

If he's tone deaf, then apparently I am too, because that's exactly what I though too

[TheCrypticName]

@TheBoomstickhero Guess so.

[karloalberti]

Lima Peru many many years ago. will be traveling with this music to the sun, the moon, Jupiter. if you know what I mean. best time of my life. ... poor .. such a poor dreamer. now Have some money plenty of money.. but nothing compares to this experience.........here is my question: to be or no to be ?

[GOJU4LIFE1]

Is this the full song? Anything longer. Just want to know cuz of the way it ends

[Yaenu1093]

@GOJU4LIFE1 there are longer version, they played it at some concert for 30 minutes, but there are also some versions on youtube that are like 20 mins long

[karlmoles65]

Clasico De Clasicos xD!!!

[hbous]

our friend Mr. Reinhardt departed for long voyage today. We have enjoyed his company and we will let him entertain us for a long long time.

[hbous]

When I first listened to it it was in Washington DC in 1969. I was only 17 and I thought only heavy drug people listen to that type of music. Six months later, after Woodstock, I begun to listen to it and to this type of music. I still do, I love it and do not do drugs...any...more?

[ciaobellakate]

"Wait a minute, this sounds like Rock and/or Roll!"

[arcticmonkey67]

@ciaobellakate YES YOU LEGEND, SIMPSONS HAHAAH YES I KNEW SOMEONE WOULD REMEMEBR

[billrobel]

Ah Memories

[andreabaker2]

A funny story. My now-husband and I'd been dating about 2 weeks, and I had to go pick my accordion up from the guy who was repairing it. BF (now hubby) asked me to play something. I said "what do you want to hear?" He tried yanking my chain, and responded "In A Gadda Da Vida." Much to his chagrin, I pulled it off remarkably well (right hand, only). Heh.

[Blahblobify]

Oh fuck I remember this...one hit wonder of the century...EVERYBODY had this album in 1966, after which Iron Butterfly disappeared....their 2nd album was shit nobody bought, they ended up playing in a shitty down the street from where I lived before finally breaking up.

[plan9area51]

It's the same 140 people that didn't like it in 1968. Everything has changed and nothing has changed. Even if they did not like the song, you can feel the energy, the power, the drive, all now missing in America, all sadly dead. Thank you for posting to keep it alive................

[oatmealboy6]

I remember when I used to make out to this hymn ...

[assassincred56]

Is that JACK BLACK in the back right?

[Sting383]

@assassincred56 No, that's Erik Brann.

[assassincred56]

sweet song

[gkaro94]

8 minutes ??? Where's the real song ?

[Asphyxiation1017]

my teacher heard me play guitar..and offered me her records of this band if i had a record player...i dont play music this soft..o.o

[AltShiftSmoke]

@Asphyxiation1017 if there in good shape take them there worth money

[Prisoner5555]

@Asphyxiation1017 soft???????

[Kuuttiz]

@Prisoner5555 Thi is pretty soft, but there is no need to say heavy music would be better.

[kittyfercha]

Arriba los pumas

[sexyman1024]

[phesterjr]

When Psychodelic drugs was the best thing since fucking. LMAO

[mielazul]

Check "Rosetta West - Low" for some good heavy psych. A little darker and rougher, but I think fans of this will like it. And anybody going through Christmas Hell...hang in there!

[cdautrey]

Saw them in concert at Ovens Auditorium in Charlotte, NC in the summer of 1969. Sat on the floor about 10 ft from the stage. Ears rang for 3 days after. May have been part of the show but they were propping the drummer upright and squeezing sponges of water over his head during his extended solo.

[foxdemon226]

i swear the begining of the song is in test drive unlimted 2

in a gadren of eden..

[aljforever01]

It was orignally suppose to me "In a garden of Eden" But when they was recording this , They was waay too stoned and "in a gadda da vida" is the closest they could get to it , So they just stuck with it (: Oh god , the 60's <3

[elitehalomaster]

@aljforever01 The singer drank a gallon of cheap wine and he slurred the speech so the drummer wrote it down as ina gada da vida instead

[pbrucpaul]

'60's Dance and BUZZ music. Good Fuzz lead guitar Solo. Just Pulses upward into the Air above. You can just imagine the Hippies movin around to this.

[nbtbest]

[barneyronnie]

@allthiseverything Try seconal. It's still around but hard to get an Rx for it!

[allthiseverything]

@barneyronnie All that happens on Ambien is anterograde amnesia and doing stupid stuff you don't remember that you get in trouble for

[dipinprint]

thumbs up if your high and this song is triping you out.

[jarquinalfonso]
