Trivia question- What does "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" mean?

I think it means you need to get your cholesterol checked, have a colonoscopy and find the smallest sized doctor (therefore with the smallest hands) you can and get your prostate checked.

TOO FUNNY!

Trivia question- What does "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" mean?

The 1st person to post the correct answer to the trivia question above wins a cool prize, complements of "TheCargod"!

Hint- It has nothing to do with a visit to the doctor or your ass!

The lyric was actually meant to be "In The Garden Of Eden". The writer was so drunk that his enunciation was a bit off The band thought it was cool and stuck with it.

I was sooo close.

My musical selections are quite varied. My pod has over 15000 songs from classical, jazz, inspirational, new age, pop, rock, metal, oldies, r&b, soul, opera, vocals but my real answer to pick a few would be:

Genesis

Nirvana

Zep

Smiths

Who

Staind

Correct- YOU WIN!

You have won a new "PORSCHE - Is a Two Syllable Word" T-Shirt! (See the ad "PORSCHE T-Shirt" in the FOR SALE forum). PM me a mailing address and I'll get that out to you ASAP. Congratulations!

I am surprised that nobody mentioned Joe Strummer.  A truly sad tale.  He does his best work ever(Coma Girl, Redemption Song) only to die of a Heart Attack some months later. 

Be thankful for every day.

I agree with the Joe Strummer comment.

I'm surprised no one mentioned The Clash. I'm from the era of the Beatles, Stones , Who & Zeppelin, but in my mind The Clash should be on everyone's short list of best bands. Whether you rank them for their political or musical sensibilities, they are truly impressive.

There was also a dynamic similar to the Lennon-McCartney tension in the Joe Strummer-Mick Jones partnership.

My iPod's current fav's list:

Robben Ford
Dream Theater - bootleg of them covering the entire Dark Side of the Moon album
Joe Satriani
Bucky Pizzarelli - Coming to Bethlehem in March

Can you tell I'm a guitarist.

I just recently have become acquainted with the music of Joe Satriani, and I am very, very impressed.
