That's right! I can't explain it to people. It must be experienced. Legion World space-rawks!

While I know what that song is, I really don't quite get the relevance. Even among nerds I'm a nerd.

I recently saw a Halloween episode of "Home Improvement" where that song was used. It's just a cool sounding beginning to the song and it popped in my head when you said "rawks." No, I am nerdier than thou. It had no relevence whatsoever!

I mostly only know what that song is from the Simpsons episode where Bart substitutes it for a hymn in church and calls it "It the Garden of Eden".
Now, actual hymns, I know. I named my dog "Hyfrydol", for cryin' out loud.
I'm not just a nerd. I'm a choir nerd.

Bart wasn't totally making that up. According to rock 'n' roll legend, the song was originally called "In the Garden of Eden," but Iron Butterfly singer Doug Ingle was too stoned/drunk/whatever to sing it properly, so it came out as "Inna Gadda da Vida." Thanks to inebriation, a legend was born.
And I'm a rock trivia nerd.

I don't have any good rock trivia, but I was scowled at by Joe Jackson once. :/

Yes, AND the yo-yo.
It happened at Barney's New York, the mid 1980s worldwide epicenter of scowling.

Meanwhile in Pittsburgh, a close friend of mine got to shake hands with Tom Baker-- continuing decades of one-upsmanship [sic] on her part that persist even today.

I got Patrick Troughton's autograph. It was at a Dr. Who convention in Chicago that feature Mr. Troughton and Jon Pertwee. I saw Mr. Troughton in a hallway and asked for his autograph, which he graciously gave. I was too fan-struck to talk to him after that.
