Don't you know that I'll hallways be true?

Original Lyrics:

Don't you know that I'll always be true?

Story about this misheard lyric by: David Neman

Of course, "always" is correct. But I'll never understand why Doug Ingle so carefully and clearly inserted an "h" before "always" every tjme he sang this line.

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:

"In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"

The Nonsensical Lyrics:

In-a-gadda-da-vida...

Why They're Nonsensical:

Exactly what does this mean? [Yes, I know of the story (urban legend?) behind this song - it was originally called 'In The Garden Of Eden', until the lead singer came into one of the rehearsals stoned on acid and slurred the words, and the rest is history...]

The Made Up Words:

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

Comments:

There is no meaning to this phrase. I have asked everyone that i know and it seems to be a title that was made up by the band. I've tried to find a meaning for about 25 years now and I was sure someone else would have posted it. Since no one has I thought I would finally do it. [ed. I have heard it was the singer's inebriated jumble of "In the Garden of Eden."]

Super Long Pop Songs:

"In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida" Length: 17:10

Possibly one of the longest songs ever recorded... and it gets credit for it alot, too. There probably isn't a person on Earth that can deny the fact this song had something to do with Psychedelic Drugs. Fact: It was originally supposed to be "In the Garden of Eden".

Submitted by: TullyGirl

"In A Gadda Da vida" Length: 17:00

Probably the longest drug song ever created. Took up one whole side of an LP

Submitted by: Ryan

"In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida" Length: 17:05

Of course they edited it to 3 minutes for radio, but there are some album-rock stations that play the full 17-minute version, which includes a Ron Bushy drum solo and a part where Erik Braunn makes his guitar sound like an elephant, and it's rumored that DJ's that play the 17-minute version do so to take a restroom break!
