The song is "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" and it's by Iron Butterfly.

The band was formed in 1966 in San Diego and released their debut album, Heavy, in 1968, after signing a deal with ATCO, an Atlantic Records subsidiary. The original members were Doug Ingle, Ron Bushy, Jerry "The Bear" Penrod, Darryl DeLoach and Danny Weis. All but Ingle and Bushy left the band after recording the first album in late 1967; the remaining musicians, faced with the possibility of the record not being released, quickly found replacements in bassist Lee Dorman and guitarist Erik Brann and resumed touring.

Weis and Penrod almost immediately went to form the supergroup "Rhinoceros".

The 17-minute "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida", the title track of their second album, became a huge hit that spent over a year in the Top Ten. (Doug Ingle is reported to have said the title was an alcohol-slurred version of "In the Garden of Eden", although this is probably apocryphal; see the page on that song for more.) The members when In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida was recorded were Doug Ingle (keyboards and vocals), Lee Dorman (bass guitar), Ron Bushy (drums) and Erik Brann, also Braunn (guitar).

The next album, Ball, was less successful, and more lineup changes followed. In 1970 with Erik Brann gone, Iron Butterfly released their fourth album, Metamorphosis with two new members, Mike Pinera and Larry "Rhino" Reinhardt on guitars. The album only managed to get into the top twenty. The band broke up in 1971. Dorman and Reinhardt later joined the "supergroup" Captain Beyond.

The band was booked to play at Woodstock, but got stuck at an airport.

"In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida", released in 1968, was a 17-minute rock song by Iron Butterfly, released on their album In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, occupying the entire second side of the album. The lyrics are simple, and heard only at the beginning and the end.

A commonly repeated story says that the song's title was originally "In the Garden of Eden," but in the course of rehearsing and recording singer Doug Ingle slurred the words into the nonsense phrase of the title while under the influence of LSD. The truth (according to the liner notes on 'the best of' CD compilation) is that drummer Ron Bushy was listening to the track through headphones, and couldn't hear correctly; he simply distorted what Doug Ingle answered when Ron asked him for the title of the song.

The song features a memorable guitar and bass riff, and repeats this riff for almost the entire length of the song. The riff is used as the basis for extended organ and guitar solos, which are interrupted in the middle by an extended drum solo, one of the first such solos on a rock record, and probably one of the most famous in rock.

The song is significant in rock history because, together with Blue Cheer and Steppenwolf, it marks the point when psychedelic music produced heavy metal. Later 1970s heavy metal and progressive rock acts like Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin owe much of their sound, and even more of their live acts, to this recording.

In popular culture
In a famous 1995 The Simpsons episode, "Bart Sells His Soul", the writers paid tribute to Iron Butterfly by having Bart Simpson replace the hymn books with sheet music for "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida." The entire church starts into a 17-minute version of "In the Garden of Eden" (by "I. Ron Butterfly") before Rev. Lovejoy catches onto the gag by stating, "This sounds like rock and/or roll!" The aged organist collapses at the end of the performance. Also in another episode, during a seventies flashback a radio announces a new version of the song to be played.

An eight-minute cut of the song was featured in the climax of Michael Mann's thriller Manhunter.

The song also appeared in an early episode of Home Improvement, in Criminal Minds, in an episode of Seinfeld, at the beginning of the episode "The Tribe," and in the movie Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare.

The song was covered by the power metal band Blind Guardian for the 2006 single release "Fly".

The song was covered by the thrash metal band Slayer on the soundtrack of the movie Less Than Zero and on their album Soundtrack to the Apocalypse.

A commercial by Fidelity Investment Co. began airing in March, 2006, featuring the song.

In the controversial video game Postal², the Postal Dude says "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, Baby!" when taking catnip and going in slow motion.

The Smashing Pumpkins played the song's riff as a tease before random songs during almost every single show of their 1996 promo tour.

In an episode of That '70s Show, Hyde and Fez listen to the song.
The guitar riff was played in a van on the show Mission Hill in the episode "Big Brother's *****."

The guitar riff is played by American comedian Wayne Federman on his electric ukulele as part of a hard rock medley.

The opening sequence of the Supernatural episode "Skin" features the song's famous riff and some of the lyrics.

The famous riff was used by the group Chase at the end of their 1971 track "Get It On."

The song is mentioned in an episode of Baywatch Hawaii.
In Nas' 2004 song titled "Thief's Theme", there is an interpolation of the guitar riff.

Trivia
"In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" is considered to be the song that ushered in the era of acid rock.

"In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" takes up the entire second side of its original record.

The version edited and released as a single omits (among other things) Ron Bushy's drum solo and leaves roughly three minutes of music.

Ironically, Bushy's solo is not as long as people think; it only runs about 6 1/2 minutes, from the 6:30 mark to a little past 13 minutes. Then the band returns to the song's main riff.

Peaking at #4, the album spent 140 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart.

When Doug Ingle originally wrote the song, he had not intended for it to run seventeen minutes long.
This album was produced by Don Casale, who also produced albums by the The Four Seasons, Aretha Franklin, and others.

One of the reasons why the song became so popular is because it was played on the radio frequently. Disc jockeys loved playing this song because while it was playing on the radio, they could then take a 15-minute break (hence one of its nicknames: "the bathroom song").

At a 1999 concert in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Weird Al Yankovic declared, "Okay, okay, the moment you've all been waiting for! Here is the longest song we know!" The audience was expecting him to play the 15 minute song "Albuquerque", but he teased them by playing the intro to "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" instead. (After many encores and fake endings, he eventually did play the song they were waiting for.)
