AceTheHeart: "Three dog night," an idiom rooted in Australian and Arctic history, describes an exceptionally cold night. The idiom draws from the practice where indigenous peoples of colder regions would sleep with their dogs for warmth; the colder the night, the more dogs were needed. In essence, this idiom is used to depict a situation or environment that's incredibly challenging or daunting, especially in terms of weather. Still, it can also be extended metaphorically to represent a difficult period in one's life.

Good insight, sleeping amongst the dogs can be a survival strategy but it's also a euphemism for bad times in general.

Ace, I love Three Dog Night so much. So glad that you checked them out. I was just a little kid in the late sixties and early seventies, but at that time so many people just loved them because they were great musicians and just the fantastic singing ability all around, and they wrote and covered really interesting material. Always really really catchy. They had so many hits but some standouts include: Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog One is the Loneliest Number On The Road to Shambala

It use to be when it was cold at night, you'd let your dog sleep in your bed to keep you warm. A Three Dog Night meant that it was extremely cold, so you needed 3 dogs to keep you warm!

I've been away for a while -- no reason - but great to catch up with you on this song, Ace! It is a fabulous one. This band had such great vocals. Lots more good ones by them, Ace -- "Eli's Comin'", "Out in the Country", "Just an Old-Fashioned Love Song" are some of my favorites. Not sure if you know -- their name refers to REALLY cold nights -- one where you would need to be surrounded by the fur and body warmth of 3 dogs, (not 1 or 2) to keep warm if you found yourself stuck outside for the night.

Master song interpreters like TDN deserve a home in the Hall of Fame. But like many acts, their exclusion is based on nonsensical logic such as "they didn't write all their hits." Meanwhile, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi and one-hit wonder Del Shannon are ridiculously enshrined in Cleveland. Laughable yet sad.
