Iron Butterfly is a U.S. hard rock and psychedelic band, mostly known for their 1968 hit "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida". They
are sometimes called "the first heavy metal band" due to this song and others like it. Their heyday was the late
1960s, but the band has been reincarnated several times with various members.  "In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida", released in
1968, was a 17-minute rock song by Iron Butterfly, released on their album In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, occupying the entire
second side of the album. The lyrics are simple, and heard only at the beginning and the end.

A commonly repeated story says that the song's title was originally "In the Garden of Eden," but in the course of
rehearsing and recording singer Doug Ingle slurred the words into the nonsense phrase of the title while under the
influence of LSD. The truth (according to the liner notes on 'the best of' CD compilation) is that drummer Ron Bushy
was listening to the track through headphones, and couldn't hear correctly; he simply distorted what Doug Ingle
answered when Ron asked him for the title of the song. (
