My favorite thing about this song is how it builds with each verse, starting off super pared-down with just one low-key voice and a single guitar with a little percussion. By the end, everyone is just wailing and jamming!!! So cool!

[@sealdrup]

You basically had three lead singers in this group. The harmonies are otherworldly. So good!

[@TonyM1961]

Those singers would fall flat without that talented band behind them. It's not just the music, not just the lyrics,it's when you put them together and how smoothly they blend together that makes them so iconic

[@sealdrup]

@@TonyM1961 Absolutely.

[@Jamesdylandean]

Absolutely Agree! Should be in the Rock and Roll H.O.F.!

[@stevewalsh4850]

Man oh man, takes me back to being a teenager in the 70’s with an illegal smile vibing to this song 😎

[@nancy9478]

Brings me back too.

[@stevewalsh4850]

@Jeff Flaherty yes sir, John Prine is a rabbit hole worthy of going down😎

[@davidryan2669]

I remeber when this came out. Love just about everthing by them. They were the top band for 5 years in a row beating out the Beatles. If you get the chance give "Eli's Coming" a listen the live version. Their vocals will blow you away.

[@surlechapeau]

Asia & BJ, you'll love their "Shambala", "Eli's Comin' " and "One"!!!! They were a hit machine in the 70s!!

[@RicoBurghFan]

Don't analyze the lyrics, just listen to the vocals. Talk about heaven on earth!

[@jgold78]

Volume ends up on 10 every time...

[@a.n.7863]

This is one of those songs you wish would never end.

[@shawnk7832]

Guaranteed just turn it up!!! Many great songs by 3 Dog Night... This is the best!!!

[@j.l.armendariz1483]

Between 1969-1974 no group had more top 10 hits, Sold more Albums, also Sold More Concert tickets than Three Dog Night! Much Love from Oregon, Chuy ☮️🫶🏼🤙🏽👍🏽😎🎼🎸🎤

[@howardblakley713]

I always loved the song. Born in OK..Been to England, love the Beatles..When my dad and stepmother moved to Spain..so finally I went there...Las Islas Canarias..las mujeres son bonitas. That's my anthem!

[@kyleanspach3457]

To me, thins song is about enjoying where you're at and living in the moment.

[@theodoreritola7641]

woooow to the point FANTASTIC

[@glennhall9257]

Yeah, it’s kinda like CSN “Love the One You’re With”

[@inexplicablyleft2729]

This is another great song from Hoyt Axton, and it's a great cover by Three Dog Night. For me it says that wherever you are is a good place to be, and so are the places you've never been. Life is an adventure to look forward to.

[@tracycartwright3340]

I love this song! It's my favorite by Three Dog Night. Fantastic song!!

[@jimpaquette8007]

Never been to England but I kind of like the Beatles me too!

[@dannycasson1551]

I always thought a “three dog night” meant it was an extra cold night, hence sleeping with three dogs to stay warm. This group is ridiculously talented!

[@salmuscles]

the great Hoyt axton wrote this song....Hoyt was born in Oklahoma...👍

[@randytorres8211]

Per Wikipedia the lyrics consist of the narrator ruminating about overseas locales that he has never visited, but about which he feels he has some proxy experience, primarily via the music but also due to other presumed highlights found there. He loosely compares his own actual travels to these more worldly spots. In the final verse, he observes that while he has "never been to heaven", he has "been to Oklahoma", where he was told he was born, thus implying a kinship between the two places. Hoyt Axton, who was born in Oklahoma, explained that he originally wrote, "...in Oklahoma, born in a coma...." However, it was considered inappropriate; thus, the lyrics were changed to "not Arizona".

[@unclebobunclebob]

Written by Hoyt Axton.

[@deborahstrickland9845]

“Eli’s Coming”, live 1975 please.❤️ (Their BBC 1972 concert is also great.)

[@dianawhite637]

Yes yes yes, so good!

[@Eowyn187]

Just arrived, saw the seven songs you've posted. Clicked on this so damn fast. Three Dog Night were great, badass talent. That harmony for one thing!

[@sirkat344]

It was composed by Hoyt Axton- an actor and musician. he was from Oklahoma. He was touring w/ 3 DN at the time. He also wrote, "Joy to the world", also done by 3 DN. :P

[@terri2494]

“Joy to the World.” Yes, it did bring a lot of joy! I was eight when it came out and it was such a fun song for kids to sing. Both songs are great from start to finish.

[@sirkat344]

@@terri2494 I was about that age, too. 1970. The LP, "Naturally". It was one of the 1st LPs I ever owned(thanks to a brother). Awesome stuff!

[@AsiaandBJ]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@donnakubiski5572]

This song has always resonated with me because my father was born and grew up in Oklahoma. I'm from Chicago (my father came here in his early twenties) but we used to go there every year on vacation to stay with my aunt and uncle from the time I was a baby until I turned 18. I have fond memories of that time. I agree you need to do "Eli's Coming" and I also love "An Old Fashioned Love Song".

[@ryan23791]

The lyrics in this vid are no bueno. Its Needles as in the city in Calfornia not Needless and the line is 'must near it' not must be weary..and never gonna lose it not loose it haha. Enjoyed your reaction to a favorite of mine.

[@AsiaandBJ]

Thanks for the info!

My fav Three Dog Night song....had the album back in 70s TY Appreciate ya'll

[@JoeKentMagic]

Check out Elvis Presley doing this one LIVE‼️🔥🔥⚡️👍🏼

[@carollittle1059]

Great band with huge hits, in concert at Irvine, CA. soon

[@chanellegale914]

Elvis did the best cover of this song! It's my fav version honestly he absolutely killed it 🔥 Have it on repeat

[@obxtasy626]

Elvis did a killer live version of this song. He didn't have as many hits in the 70s but he took songs like this, 'My Way' (written for Frank Sinatra) and others and made them his own live. And the mother of the guy who wrote this song (Hoyt Axton, who really was born in OK) wrote 'Heartbreak Hotel' for Elvis in the 50s. Circle of music life lol.

[@chanellegale914]

Been looking for this comment! Elvis version of this song is my fav.. He kills it and made it his own

[@obxtasy626]

@@chanellegale914 Yes! He really did. This and 'My Way'. I like Sinatra but Elvis' version is far superior and more heartfelt.

[@georgejetson1379]

I was raised in NEEDLES CA. where 120+ temps in summer cause travelers to over heat and Vegas is 120 miles away.. hence they broke down in little town of Needles on their way to Vegas... and this song was very popular in our stage band in the 70's lol

[@lyriasfaves]

Yeah... got a flat tire in Needles... but on the way HOME from Vegas and broke!

Hoyt Axton ,the songwriter is from Oklahoma ..He wrote ''Joy To The World''' also that they made famous as well ...

[@dagmar.6954]

Three Dog Night is an American-Irish rock band from the 60's-70's. This band had a lot of energy. They had 3 guys with great voices that could all sing lead vocals. Hope you check out some more of their music. Some other great songs are "One", "Just An Old fashioned Love Song", Eli's Coming", Shambala", "Mama Told Me Not To Come", "Joy To The World", Try A Little Tenderness", "Easy To Be Hard", "The Show Must Go On" etc.

[@trevorb6]

I remember when this one came out. I was in grammar school and was an instant favorite of mine! I liked it so much. I loved the lyrics, but never gave any real thought to their meaning, to this day up until now. I think you two are spot on. Thanks for doing the brain work for me. 😊

[@vvnavarrewolfvv4218]

It's hard to find a bad song by Three Dog Night. Try, Joy to the world, it's great.

they've reacted to that one on Apr 22, 2022.

[@essentialjudge2279]

Both songs are by Hoyt axton.

[@jayce711]

I love Three Dog Night, ever since I was in Grade School, and I love this song, but you really need to hear Elvis's live performance of it in 1972. It's magnificent!!

[@Noelle0026]

Pieces of April is a good Three Dog Night song

[@stretch4872]

I was a roadie back in the day and loved working with these guys. Cory Wells was a huge loss. I always felt he was saying just because haven't been to a certain place doesn't mean that you can't appreciate the culture anyway. If your observant you can enjoy talent and beauty from a place even if you haven't gotten to witness it firsthand.

[@anthonyblakely399]

Asia & BJ, You guys got to react to Eli's Coming(Live), Shambala(studio version) and One Man Band(studio version)......Three Dog Night like the Beatles were Extremely popular with as many Hit in the 70's as The Beatles!!!! Everyone LOVES Three Dog Night!!! Enjoy the Journey!!!

[@blackprix]

Next up ‘Eli’s Coming’ Got to see three dog night twice in the early 70s, and they were a hot group at a time and did some great songs this is just one of them

[@williamweiss6128]

Still have my lp. Naturally and Suitable also. Legend albums. Don't know where they toured back then. Could have went all over the world, easily.

That reminds me of John Denver’s “Country Roads.” I lived in Virginia for about twenty five years and when he sang “Almost heaven, West Virginia” I would think, “Yeah, because you’re almost to Virginia.” 😁

How about a reaction to the great Tony Bennet on his 96th Birthday. Try "I wanna be around" or "Who can I turn too" or"I left my heart in San Francisco" Happy Birthday Mr. Bennet. No duets please, just Tony

[@jorgejimenez-velez648]

Exactly "What does it matter" like the lead singer said. There's also a lot of sarcasm here. see Oklahoma or Arizona. I get your postcard reference. I have travelled around the country a bit. I did send postcards back home and saved them. Three Dog Night always a great choice. Have you sampled "Try A Little Tenderness"? They do a great version of Otis classic

[@mikewarker4445]

Pieces of April, try a little tenderness, easy to be hard , one. Looking forward to your Alien reaction in an hour or so, like I said over / under 4 jump scares for Asia, you too BJ

This song was written by country star Hoyt Axton. He also wrote their number one song Joy to the World, the NoNo song for Ringo Star, and tunes for Steppinwolf, Elvis Presley, and more...

[@dennisaber8011]

Nice reaction. You really do need to see Elvis's live version of this song. It has more of a punch than this one. But I do love Three Dog Night!

[@swrennie]

That lyric video was poorly spelled and sometimes just wrong.

[@marypenebaker898]

He's trying to say that it doesn't matter where you are as long as you let music be your guide and understand that the people there are the same as you. Oklahoma... Arizona what does it matter?

[@talltulip]

A bunch of people are requesting that you react to their live performance of "Eli's Coming." This is the one everyone wants you to do: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnTYf3Wbo8yrl7M. It is from when they appeared on Soundstage in 1975.

[@antarcticorb9197]

Be careful with these lyric videos, they get a lot of the words wrong! It's lose it, not loose it for example.

[@medrawilliamspm8362]

Elvis did a cover of this and it was awesome.

[@kingstara1]

One of my favs! You can't go wrong with Three Dog Night! Other folks have mentioned that this was written by Hoyt Axton, who is in the songwriter's hall of fame, but his mother, Mae Axton is also in the hall of fame as well. She wrote a lot of hits in Nashville, including co-writing Elvis's Heartbreak Hotel. Also, I think the Hard Rock Casino in Tulsa has the "I've never been to heaven but I've been to Oklahoma" lyrics still above one of the main doors in the lobby.

This was written by Hoyt Axton. He had a way with words, to make a big understatement. He wrote The No-No Song that Ringo Starr made famous. Peace.

This sounds like a stoned rap while passing a joint. I used to know a guy who would pass a joint while telling you the most outrageous things, crazy frickin stories so weird you would have to call hm an outright liar and disrespect him or just shut up and take a toke in silence 'til you think of something. Hey these are the guys who are best friends with Jeremiah the Bullfrog who they go drinking with. Are you feeling me? Do you get what I'm sayin? The song is about being happy being HIGH. With or without drugs these guys are high as hell all the time is what I am saying to you.

[@CuzKatieSaysSo]

Yes, Eli's Coming, definitely. However, best to stick to the studio version with this one. Another reactor couple did this song not too long ago, and they're in Oklahoma. Watching their faces when that line was sung was priceless.

[@kevincaulder20]

Great song by Three Dog Night. Now for more travel on a more dangerous level. Glenn Frey will learn you the meaning of the SMUGGLERS BLUES. This single was made into an episode of Miami Vice during its first season andce exploded in popularity. The same episode was repeated several times and introduced Michael Mann to an audience made for modern tomes in the 198o's. But the video is self-explanatory. Wrapped around a great song watch and learn the lesson of the perilous world of the SMUGGLERS BLUES.

[@janabraam7963]

3 Dog Night has so many great songs. A word of advice. Listen to their studio versions instead of live versions. They tend to get silly live & you'll miss the lyrics & how great the songs really are. " Try A Little Tenderness", "One", "Eli's Comin'". Many, many to choose from! They were my 1st concert. I was so bummed cuz they were sick, stoned, & goofing around. But I loved them anyways. As a teenager, I was in love with Chuck Negron, the one with the great long hair & great mustache.

[@ronstoner1823]

We would listen to Three Dog Night while playing cards at my best friend's (RIP) house and this is one of the songs we stopped and sang along to. It helped that we had tea spiked with Spearmint Schnapps and got loose. LOL

[@bryansimmons4550]

Three Dog Night was formed in Los Angeles. The writer of this song, Hoyt Axton, liked to write happy songs, and I don't think he was thinking of the lyrics in any deep mystical way. He is the same guy who wrote Joy to The World, which 3DN recorded as well. "Jeremiah was a bullfrog" is not particularly profound, either. BTW, whoever put up the lyrics to this video did not do a good job of listening to the song.
