"In a Gadda da Davida" - yes I remember that song well.
True story -- a group of us had just left a gathering and got into an old '57 Chevy that had been restored. That was our ride home. Playing on the radio or perhaps an 8 track was the song "In a Gadda da Davida"....then....crash...our car hit another car at an intersection. I remember feeling the impact, the car being airborne hitting a streetlight, rolling over and spinning. We all climbed out of the car. Some of us had a few scratches from broken glass but luckily no one was seriously injured. The driver was absolutely besides himself as he had spent countless hours restoring the car.
I kept one of the hubcaps as a souvenir (I was 16) and it was lost after time and several moves. Thankfully, it was one tough Chevy!
So, anytime I hear that song (long version), that's what I remember.
