I was talking with some friends over lunch when the topic of drums came up which inevitable leads to Iron Maiden’s In A Gadda De Vida – which reminds me of this episode of the Simpsons.
“In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” is a seventeen-minute, five-second psychedelic rock song by Iron Butterfly, released on their 1968 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.

I wish I could find the extended version where Bart gets punished afterward but I’m lucky to get this much. Enjoy.
Lyrics:In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, honey,
Don’t you know that I love you?
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, baby,
Don’t you know that I’ll always be true?
Oh, won’t you come with me
And take my hand?
Oh, won’t you come with me
And walk this land?Please take my hand!

I used to listen to that song. Can’t remember when I first heard it though. We only had one rock station at that time and I can’t see them playing it. But, I must have heard it on some radio station sometime in the mid 70s.
