Cool. Reminds me of a story about the name of their most popular song, In a Gadda da Vida. Doug Ingle, the lead singer, had too much to drink and was in the studio when a sound engineer asked for the title. The intended name of the song was "In the Garden of Eden" but the engineer heard "In a gadda da vida". There are other stories around this like Doug was yawning when he said it but I'm going with the former. Fits better into Rock and Roll culture.
