IRON BUTTERFLY
六十年代美國, 一些在家中的車房練歌夾 band 的青年, 由於形象和彈奏方式, 不被當年的社會接受, 衹稱他們是走不出車房的 "Garage Band" 而已, 他們唯有留在 Underground Music 地下音樂的領域。
地下樂隊之一, 名為 "Iron Butterfly" 1968年一首最為搖滾樂迷追捧的 Psychedelic Rock 迷幻搖滾歌曲, 長達十七分鐘, 絕無冷埸, 成為當年不少青年 Band 友鑽研的歌曲, 模仿其樂器由新興的 Hammond Organ 至 Drum, Guitar 與 Bass 被爭相效法彈奏, 是六十年代的 Rock 友樂迷難忘的作品。
歌曲的原名 "In The Garden of Eden", 在錄音期間, 主唱歌手 Doug Ingle 剛用 "藥" 完畢, 步入飄飄然的境界, 唱到舌頭打結, 錄音完畢卻沒有發覺不妥, 直至監製與各人再聼之下才捧腹大笑, Doug Ingle 將歌曲的第一句 "In the garden of Eden honey, don't you know...." 唱成 "In-a-gadda-da-vida honey", 但聼落甚有迷幻 feel, 於是决定以這個迷幻曲名和錄音的版本面世 ...
