I must really be old because I happen to know that INAGADAVIDA was the result of a slur when attempting to say the real lyric - "In the garden of Eden." The story is that a reporter misunderstood the answer when he asked a drunken band member what the name of their next single was going to be. When the band saw the story, they liked it so much that they rewrote the lyric.
Also, it's really spelled Inna Gadda Da Vidda. Another strange song story - Chicago's 25 or 6 to 4. The song was written in a matter of minutes at the end of a long, long recording session. One of the band members asked "What time is it." The response was "25 or 6 to 4." But then, Does Anyone Really Know What Time It Is?
