That's funny, Chris (see below). I used to have the LP but I don't remember
seeing it (written/printed on the jacket or label) as anything but
"Inna-gadda-da-vida" so I didn't even realize it was mispronounced. And
I'm sure I've heard DJs quite distinctly call it "Inna-gadda-da-vida" .

< 60s song "Inna-gadda-da-vida" (sp?) was supposed to be "In the garden of
eden" but the guys were too stoned to enunciate, so they just called it what
it sounded like and everybody just thought it was some kind of mystic
symbolic thing ...
