deepthroat Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Here’s an easy one: What does the title of Iron Butterfly’s 1968 album “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” actually mean? Or more precisely - what was it originally meant to mean? 1 Quote Link to comment

The other version is that the singer was so blitzed that another band member misunderstood what he was singing and wrote the title down phonetically. Same basic idea. 1 Quote Link to comment

I am pretty sure it's an Asian word, so I am going to go with Thailand, solely as a guess because that is what this forum is all about. As an aside, do you know how to confuse a blonde? Tell her you know a guy who lives in a blue bungalow, with blue floors, blue walls, blue ceilings and blue furniture, then ask her what colour the stairs are?? 2 Quote Link to comment

You are correct it is an Asian word, a clue is in the sound of the word. An area in an Asia country. Quote Link to comment
