Here's the story:

"It was realy a phenomenon for me personally, to even be in a band that even had a chance to put a record out. And then what happened, it was a one-in-a-million shot. There are a lot of good bands that nobody ever hears," he said.

"In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" was written by the band's lead singer and keyboard player Doug Ingle, and the name was actually a misinterpretation.

"Doug had been up for a day and a half," Dorman said, "plus he had been drinking some wine."

Dorman and Bushy went to his house late one night and Ingle played the song for him. They liked what they heard and asked Ingle what the title was.

"He said 'In the Garden of Eden' but it sounded like 'In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida,'" Dorman said.

Ron wrote it down phoenetically. The next day, we just decided, 'Yeah, let's just do that.' It sounded good and everybody liked it."

The song then "took on a life of its own," Dorman said.
