I noticed this page seemed to be encompassing both the album and the song, so I moved it and created a new page with the album info. Foxmulder 18:24, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
As far as I know, the bit about Doug Ingle slurring the title is just a story, even if it's an often-heard story. It deserves mention, but I'd rather not have it stated as fact. Isomorphic 23:54, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Why is there an unexplained redirect from the word Heavy to this article? Does "Heavy" have some particular signifigance to Iron Butterfly fans or to this song/album? Vadder 16:15, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- "Heavy" is the title of the first Iron Butterfly album, which does not contain the song, "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida". That album probably deserves an article, because it did sell well when originally released. (It has not been rereleased on compact disc to the best of my knowledge, however.) This might be a good link for it: Heavy (Iron Butterfly album) - Two Halves
What about the silly controversy regarding playing the song backwards? The closest thing I can make out to a "secret, backwards message" in this particular song is "you will all die" but it's clear that the whole backwards-message phenomenon is an urban legend.
Are you saying all backwords messages are urban legans? Because that's just not true. There are numerous documented backwords songs in beatles songs (Look for "Paul is dead" on wikipedia) alone that I do not think could be coincidence. Obviously the whole "Paul is dead" thing is nothing more than a silly joke being played on the fans by those silly brits. User:Foolster41
The Paul is Dead "clues" are incredibly vague and have never been confirmed. - User:Judynue
I'm not completely sure, but i think the title of this song is actually "In The Garden Of Eden". Again, I really do not know, so please don't get mad at me. Mind Surfer 03:43, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
- Sorry, it's "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"; I've got the original LP. Unrelated: The article had claimed that the drum solo lasts fourteen minutes, which just isn't true. With an extended organ solo and guitar solo in addition to the verse and chorus, there's not enough room. I'll see if I can get an exact time later. Deltabeignet 05:56, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
- Roughly two and a half minutes from the first drum roll until Bushy goes back to rhythm. Deltabeignet 05:13, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
Ushered in acid rock? what about East-West a year earlier.

[edit] Second Simpsons reference
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida is referenced in another Simpsons episode - Homer catches the end of the song on his car radio as the DJ announces, "That was a rare, extended version of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida", obviously playing on the fact that the song is very long to begin with.

[edit] No Cover Availible?
On the right hand info column, it claims that there is "No Cover Availible", when at the bottom of the article we see the album art plain as day. Could someone please fix this; I'm not very trifty with Wiki code. Smileman66 06:11, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- Sorted that out, but it probably makes the other one a bit redundant. Dunno if it wants replacing or removing or what. Icefox 00:01, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "In the Garden of Eden", as seen on VH1's Top 100 One Hit Wonders
The band members in an interview admit that the real title is in-fact "In the Garden of Eden", and that the singer (I don't know his name) was so drunk at the time that he couldn't say the words properly - and thus altered the song title accordingly.
I'm not a big fan, but I did see this on the William Shatner hosted show on VH1. The references should probably be fixed. --Mespinola 21:26, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] in the garden of EDEN
actualy the original title was "in the garden of EDEN" not Venus. where da hell did Venus com from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.225.105.38 (talk) 17:26, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Musical score snippet
Is this riff really in 4/4? I don't have the recording in front of me, but I remember it sounding as though it were in 2/2. Is the score snippet from some reasonably valid source? BrianTung (talk) 19:06, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.jpg
Image:In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] LinkBot removed reference to official Nash The Slash myspace page
I added a link to the Official Nash The Slash myspace page [1] where Nash The Slash released his version of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida prior to album release but the link bot removed it. Just adding this information in here in case anyone considers it to be a relevant link to add.
