Yeah, I'm well aware that Nilsson didn't write it, but he had the big hit.

Badfinger sure turned out to be a tragic mess.

Of all the premature rock star deaths, I think that Badfinger left the most great work yet to be done.
Well, them and GG Allin... :o

Iron Butterfly pulled it off with "In La Gadda Davidda" when massive amounts of alcohol slurred the intended vocal line of "in the garden of eden".
However, I've got a strong feeling that the" Ken Lee" bit will not be met with the same level of success ;)

Yeah, I read that in the liner notes of the remastered CD - hilarious! I always thought it was sanskrit and actually translated into "Garden of Eden".

And Hendrix misheard Dylan's line "none of them along the line know what any of it's worth" as "none will level on the line, nobody of it is worth".
