[Mr. H.]

In the garden of Eden.

 

[Sherry]

There's a story that he was drunk/stoned out of his mind and mumbled "in the garden of eden", and that's how it came out.

 

[Alex.]

"A commonly related story says that the song's title was originally "In the Garden of Eden", but at one point in the course of rehearsing and recording, singer Doug Ingle got drunk and slurred the words, creating the mondegreen that stuck as the title. However, the liner notes on 'the best of' CD compilation state that drummer Ron Bushy was listening to the track through headphones, and could not clearly distinguish what Ingle said when he asked him for the song's title. An alternative explanation given in the liner notes of the 1995 re-release of the In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida album, is that Ingle was drunk, high, or both, when he first told Bushy the title, and Bushy wrote it down. Bushy then showed Ingle what he had written, and the slurred title stuck."

A couple of questions....................

First...................did you know that this song is from the genre called rock and roll?

Second......................did you know that rock and roll has it's roots in something created by the black man called the blues?

Keep up the racist crap.
