Definitely wouldn’t be _Mother of Pearl_. LOL

DRI (Dirty Rotten Imbeciles) does a ‘lovely’ 18 second love song _snicker_…can’t for the life of me remember the title though…

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida  
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, honey,  
don’t you know that I love you?  
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, baby,  
don’t you know that I’ll always be true?

Oh, won’t you come with me  
and take my hand?

Oh, won’t you come with me  
and walk this land?

Please take my hand!

-Repeat-

~solos~

-Repeat-

I always thought that Iron Butterfly could have added another line or two to really fill out the song.
