32	* AlliterativeTitle: "'''M'''y '''M'''irage".
33	* AsTheGoodBookSays: The TitleTrack was inspired by the Garden of Eden, where Adam and Eve frolicked together.
34	* EpicRocking: "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida", which is 17:05 minutes long. Some live versions of this song go on for even longer — reaching over 19 minutes. In fact the track takes long enough to take up an entire LP side and give all the musicians a chance to perform an instrumental solo, including the drummer!
35	* FaceOnTheCover: The band performing during a concert.
36	* HeavyMetal: While technically close to psychedelic rock, the TitleTrack is also considered to be one of the the earliest heavy metal songs.
37	* HollywoodMirage: "My Mirage"
38	-->''In my mind I see a mirage on the wall''\
39	''But unfortunately it's not there at all''\
40	''So, I guess I'll draw my mirage on the wall''\
41	''Then it can be here to see and enjoyed by all''
42	* {{Improv}}: The album version of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" was an unedited sound check. It's insane length was because the band were killing time while waiting for their manager to show up. In the end, everyone though that this recording was good enough to go on the album.
43	* LimitedLyricsSong: "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" takes 17 minutes, but only has a few lines of lyrics sang at the beginning of the jam and reprised near the end.
44	-->''In-a-gadda-da-vida, honey''\
45	''Don't you know that I love you?''\
46	''In-a-gadda-da-vida, baby''\
47	''Don't you know that I'll always be true?''\
48	''Oh, won't you come with me and take my hand?''\
49	''Oh, won't you come with me and walk this land?''\
50	''Please take my hand''
51	* LongestSongGoesLast: "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" clocks in at 17:05, long enough to take side two by itself.
52	* OminousPipeOrgan: "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida".
53	* OneWordTitle: "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" and "Termination".
54	* PopCulturalOsmosis: The TitleTrack is much better known than anything else the band ever recorded.
55	* ThePowerOfLove:
56	** "Flowers And Beads"
57	-->''Flowers and beads are one thing,''\
58	''But havin' a girl is something''
59	** "Most Anything You Want"
60	-->''Girl I just wanna make you happy, that's all I'm trying to do''\
61	''Yes, I just wanna make you happy and spend my lifetime with you''
62	** "Are You Happy?"
63	-->''I met a pretty girl on a date last night''\
64	''And let me tell you now she was groovy''
65	* ProgressiveRock: The title track was a defining [[UrExample Proto-Prog]] song.
66	* PsychedelicRock: Of the particularly loud and heavy variety.
67	* QuestioningTitle: "Are You Happy?"
68	* RearrangeTheSong: The original single version of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" butchered the length from 17:05 to ''2:52''.
69	* TitleTrack: "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"
70	--> ''In-a-gadda-da-vida, baby, don't you know that I love you?''
