Great song written by the great Hoyt Axton, who also wrote their huge hit Joy to the World and also wrote The Pusher for Steppenwolf!!

[@clemdane]

I love The Pusher!

I thought Mae Axton wrote Joy To The World? I'm going from memory. I didn't look it up to confirm but that's what I remember hearing back in the day. Nope, you were right. Mae wrote Heartbreak Hotel, that's what I was thinking of. Sucks getting old.

Another classic written by Hoyt Axton is "Della & The Dealer", also sung by Hoyt.

[@curtismarsh4051]

Song written by a native Oklahoman, Hoyt Axton. A very talented song writer - and actor!

[@bobbywilhelm6670]

And what a GREAT voice Hoyt Axton had. Lay Lady Lay, Lion in the Winter with Linda Ronstadt.

[@krisswegemer1163]

Hoyt wrote a bunch of Three Dog Night's hits.

The line is " I've never been to England but I kinda like The Beatles".

Three Dog Night are in a league of their own. Please consider Easy To Be Hard, Mama Told Me Not To Come, Shambala and An Old Fashioned Love Song. Little River Band and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band are great too!! Keep smiling!! 🎶😎🎶

Another multi-hit band that has never been reacted here… ‘The Grassroots’!!!

[@jwichman9]

This band was so big in the 70’s. They owned the radio for a long time. Hit after hit. Too many to name.

[@monicabrown6515]

I am a 62 year old Granny and have fallen in love with you two as you have fallen in love with my generations music. I haven't heard this song in 50 years and remembered every word. You two have older souls and its beautiful how music brings all of us together. I'm from TEXAS so see Yall at the Red River Rivalry this year. Hook em Horns..Love Yall ♥️

I'm a 76 yr old great Gramma. I grew up with the songs you are playing and I love your reactions!!!🤗

[@bswan57]

Second stanza was “ Never been to England, but I kinda like the Beatles. “ I’ve been listening to this song for 50 years and never once thought it was about Oklahoma. Guess it’s all in what you bring to the table. 😊

[@djhrecordhound4391]

Dude, you may not be losing yer mind as you may think! Most singles on the ABC/Dunhill label were "dedicated mixes"; meaning they were unique compared to LP versions. That includes Mamas And Papas, Grass Roots, Steppenwolf, and TDN. But in mid-70s, because some new ABC doofus scrapped all the singles master tapes "to save money", we only get album versions now. A company in Europe (can't remember which one) put out great-sounding CDs from internationally-sent ABC/Dunhill tapes.

[@stpnwlf9]

Hoyt Axton was born in Comanche, Oklahoma - I think the song was kind of a way of saying every place is great including the little town he called home.

[@Lensmaster1]

The song says various places are great, but Hoyt does equate Oklahoma with Heaven.

[@mgonzales56]

I guess I know how they feel. Every time San Antonio is mentioned in a song or anywhere, we would always get excited. San Antonio has always gotten the short end of the stick compared to Dallas, Houston, and even the tiny city of Austin. If it wasn't for the San Antonio Spurs, nobody would have heard of our large city with a small town feeling.

[@markwilliams5606]

Am from AZ. But I really don't remember! Dig the Beatles!

and Joe Schermie who went back in 2002. Sad to hear about Floyd recently too. I got to meet both of them in 1991. Down to earth good people. Cory sang this one and did Hoyt proud.

[@johndalley1288]

Ah man you're faces were priceless when they said Oklahoma. It made my day!

[@mikecalderon5251]

I agree with that! I've watched this so many times because I loved their reaction to Oklahoma!

[@minigirl6839]

The Hard Rock Cafe in Oklahoma has this written above the entry door: " Well, I've never been to Heaven, but I've been to Oklahoma ". It's literally the best thing in Oklahoma. If you've ever been to Oklahoma, you understand what I mean. Hoyt wrote that song to say that it doesn't matter where you're born/from. Everyone can like everyone and their music. Even if they're from Oklahoma. 🙃👌

[@sunsungoaway]

You'll never get tired of Three Dog Night, no two songs sound the same, and ALL of them are awesome

Three Dog Night had some of the best voices, harmonies, and incredible song lyrics! they have sooo many amazing songs! I grew up on this and many of the late sixties and all of the seventies music!

[@sourisvoleur4854]

I knew you guys would like the Oklahoma reference! One thing that Three Dog Night excels in (another group that does this is Styx) is songs that start very quiet and mellow with a few instruments, and ends bold and loud and all the instruments. The 70s were a great decade for popular music.

[@paulbeatham6530]

Yes. I was waiting for their reaction to the Oklahoma line. I knew they would love it.

[@walterphillips8309]

Right styx starts out slowly than they jam

[@Jamesscearce]

Big hit makers in the early 70's. Love tunes like "Shambala" and "Mama Told Me Not To Come"

[@marvinbone1379]

My first Oklahoma experience was terrifying. Was paid good money over Christmas, years ago, to drive a brand-new BMW from the Atlanta Airport to the Denver Airport. Christmas Eve, rush hour, driving through Oklahoma City...in the worst blizzard I've ever seen in my life. I finally got off of I-40 west of OKC, to a motel. Still snowing HEAVILY. I broke down and cried. So glad to be alive. A blizzard that was blowing sideways. Woke up Christmas Day to about 15" of snow...but the SUN was out !

[@andyskurna1407]

Three Dog Night never disappoints. So much creative energy and collaboration could not be sustained, and they crashed and burned much too quickly. I had them on 8-Track, and any one of their songs immediately triggers memories of sandalwood incense. Beginning with "Old Fashioned Love Song," they formed they soundtrack of the first half of my 1970s.

[@rickgarms7656]

"Well, I've never been to England, but I kinda like the Beatles" great line as well. Cheers J&A

[@sharonmullins1957]

I am glad I am not the only one who heard this.

[@Jeff121456]

This was written and first recorded by Hoyt Axton, who was, indeed, born in Oklahoma. He also played the wonderful father in Gremlins.

[@Noelle0026]

Hoyt was such a great song writer

[@djhrecordhound4391]

Yep, it was on his "Joy To The World" album. It also has "The Pusher".

[@morningcoffeebreak7367]

Hoyt was also a singer who had several hits in the country genere and had a very deep, kind of gravely voice. One, "Lion in the Winter" was a duet with Linda Ronstadt.

[@theodoreritola7641]

I was in my young teens when 3 Dog was Huge ,, Them sweet 70s

[@mtchdtn01]

And also the father in "The Black Stallion." Wonderful film.

[@claymiller8171]

Back in the day, Three Dog Night was it. They were everywhere.

[@user-jz1qt5tq5x]

Written by Hoyt Axton who's mother Mae Axton wrote Heartbreak Hotel for Elvis living here in Jacksonville in the mid 50's.She was a school teacher here while writing. He inherited her talent and has many other well known hits.He was also the inventor in the movie Gremlins.By the way the Axton family was originally from Oklahoma. Maybe that is why the song refers being to Oklahoma. Elvis used to perform this at his shows. Why wouldn't he as Mae was a big part of him making it big.It was Mae who introduced Elvis to his manager Col.Parker.

[@genecase9464]

They took songs written by other artists/songwriters and gave them their own personal style. Absolutely huge in the late 60's/early 70's. So many hit singles you can't count 'em.

[@rabidsamfan]

In that era we had such great songwriters and the were great at finding good musicians to sing them.

[@jackies5481]

Another example and great version of a song is 'Old Fashioned Love Song' originally be Paul Williams.

[@TubeHelen]

Elvis didn't write his own songs and he's the King.

[@craigplatel813]

That era still had very few bands who wrote their own songs. And just about every band did covers on their albums. Three dog night was able to make the more of them their own and hits

[@garyarnett1220]

[@randyhochstein8455]

This is one of my absolute favorites from TDN. What a very unique and enormously talented band. Having three lead singers is somewhat unusual, and definitely allows them to deliver that one of a kind sound. Hoyt Axton was a fantastic songwriter. ♥️✌🏼😎

[@debraanchante3661]

This is my all time favorite song.. the song you never get tired of..

[@52montoya]

The name of the group comes from Australia where men who make their living in the bush have their dogs with them. At night, depending on how cool it is they'll have one of the dogs sleep along side them. . The colder it is, the more dogs so a Three Dog Night must be chilly.

[@soultrampamplification8425]

At their peak (early 70's), these guys put on amazing concerts. The Hammond blasting through the Leslie cabs is a sound missing from modern music.

[@cindya9572]

Yep, there's nothing to match that Hammond B3 / Leslie sound.

[@LindaEll]

Saw them in 1970. Awesome. The James Gang opened.

[@johnseverson6604]

Just saw them in concert last night. They’re still cranking out the hits! Shambala gave me chills!

[@djhrecordhound4391]

Cool story why "Shambala" never got properly mixed into stereo. Apparently one wasn't finished before the album's release date. The "stereo" version is really the mono mix in "reprocessed stereo" (one speaker tinny, other muddy, add reverb to both).

[@theodoreritola7641]

[@TheBrooklynbodine]

This song has steel guitar for a few seconds, giving it something of a country flavor.

[@user-gq7vs4rm4r]

So sad that there is only 1 of the lead singers now with the band. My favorite band growing up. I was able to see them 2 times. So awesome!

[@IYAMNI]

I was a huge 3DN fan as a teen. Still am. Have their entire discography... except for anything after Cyan, when they changed up the band. To me it was never three singers and a backup band, it was always 7 guys with distinct sounds that melded together perfectly. Michael Alsup is an underrated guitarist. imo. He was never a shredder at all, but always played exactly what a song needed and was never repititious. I remember when Joy To The World came out and all you heard around our jr high school was kids singing "Jerimiah was a bullfrog" Huge hit. Met Floyd Sneed and Chuck Negron in Hollywood many years later.

[@TheBrooklynbodine]

I saw them in concert in 1981, and Chuck Negron waved at me!

“Eli’s Coming”, live 1975.

[@rs-ye7kw]

They do a great rendition of "Try a Little Tenderness" and you should also listen to the original by Otis Redding.

[@apriljohnson1514]

This was written by the late great Hoyt Axton. He was born in Oklahoma and wrote a song called Oklahoma Song. My Mom had a number of his records when I was growing up. I've always loved his voice. My favorite lighthearted song by him is An Old Greyhound which is about his touring bus and a heavier themed song is In a Young Girls Mind. You'll should react to some of his singing.

[@michelemcintyre9749]

I see this was posted a year ago but I HAD to comment. I got a kick outta watchin ya'lls reaction. It was so incredible to grow up in this time. I'm a child of the 60's, 70's.... this was one of my all time favorites. Couldn't WAIT to get the album! Thanks for the great memories. ❤😊

[@cinb3448]

I loved when you reacted to Mama Told me Not to Come, and Joy to the World. I don't think there is a bad Three Dog Night song. I lived outside of the states when I first heard them! Many special memories!! I'm smiling!!

[@laurab68707]

Loved the look of surprise when they mentioned Oklahoma. Knew you would love it. Three Dog Night was a great band in the day.

[@rick5482]

Three dog night - a night so cold you had three dogs sleep on your bed to keep you warm. Two dogs, one on each side with three dogs , each side and one over the feet.

[@KenRoerden]

I knew you guys would go crazy when they mentioned Oklahoma. As others have mentioned, Hoyt Axton who wrote the song and many others was born there. Great vocals by Cory Wells. I got to see them in April 1972 not long after this song came out and I had turned 11. It was my second concert shortly after seeing The Carpenters. Great experiences for a kid. Lots of great material to dive into from Three Dog Night. If you haven't done so yet, please listen to Liar and Celebrate.

[@oldschoolfink3212]

From 1969-1974, this band sold more concert tickets and albums than The Beatles. Not even kidding around. For real. Glad you liked it. This is one of my favorites by then. I also suggest Brickyard Blues.

[@colibri1]

Did y'all catch that they're basically saying that Oklahoma might be comparable to heaven?: "I've never been to heaven, but I've been to Oklahoma." This was a huge radio hit in 1971, one of many from them. Y'all would also like Paul Simon's "Love Me Like a Rock" from 1973.

[@TigerRogers0660]

What a great song from a great group Jay & Amber!! Glad you enjoyed it !!

[@cwalokie9559]

They had a bunch of great songs. I was a young boy in the 70's, but I always remembered listening to my older sisters play TDN on their red 8-track player. They are a great rabbit hole to go down. The next selection should be Shambala. My personal favorite, even though I used to scream out "but I've been to Oklahoma" riding my bike down the street. Another great selection you two would enjoy is Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's "Fishing in the Dark". I can't get enough of that song.

[@jasontockey2252]

Oh, yes, I was waiting for your reaction to Oklahoma! The pure joy was perfect. Ypi two are the best.

Schermie was one of my influences on my playing.

[@jimthornbrugh1023]

[@donnapirelli6657]

'Easy to be hard' is a must Three Dog Night song.

[@scottchapin2323]

All three took a verse/lines in this song. That was what made them great, three voices that can be very hard to distinguish from each other.

[@evangeline3152]

Saw them in concert a few years ago and it was a blast! So many hits I remembered all the words. Ended the show with Joy to the World and of course we all sang along with them.

[@SweetThing]

Yes, Three Dog Night is a West Coast band. The band had 21 Billboard Top 40 hits between 1969 and 1975, with three hitting number one. Three Dog Night recorded many songs written by outside songwriters, and they helped to introduce mainstream audiences to writers such as Randy Newman ("Mama Told Me Not to Come"), Paul Williams ("An Old Fashioned Love Song"), and Hoyt Axton ("Joy to the World", "Never Been to Spain") & since Hoyt was the one who wrote this song, he is the one talking about Oklahoma.

[@kateritter5765]

Three Dog Night "Out In The Country" - great song you'll like.

[@tmr626]

Their songs 'One' and 'Liar' are great tunes along with the awesome rock ballad 'Pieces Of April' from '72.

[@Kay-vs3zb]

I love your reactions to the songs I grew up with. Songs that I sang and danced to! Brings back the best memories. Times were so different than. THEY WERE BETTER. If only I could back once again. Thanks for these great tunes and loving them like I do. Keep on listening, dancing and singing! BTW, a generation of babies were conceived while listening to this music.

When I saw the description, I knew what would happen when that y'all heard that line! The look on Amber's was absolutely priceless.

[@Lakeshore14]

This is great. Three dog night in a league of their own. Would love to see your reaction to Eli’s Coming. TY Jay and Amber.😊

[@deborahstrickland9845]

Yes, especially the live 1975 version.

[@marybaillie8907]

Yes indeed. Fabulous choice. 👍✌️🇨🇦

Ihe was a good friend of mine I never understood a single word he said but I helped him drink his wine

[@danaferguson1021]

Check out their song "Let Me Seranade You", featuring the soulful voice of the late great Cory Wells, the band lost about a year ago. Danny Hutton still tours with the band, Chuck Negron the great soprano(Eli's Coming, One) was dropped from the band in the 70's.

[@vaughnweber0929]

Saw the version of of this Band that is still touring about a month ago. Most members in their 70's now. It was great! Many many hits to explore. All good.

[@melodymcdonald2140]

I remember, we couldn’t wait for their new stuff to come out… never knew what it was going to be, their styles varied so much. One of my favorite bands. The guy who wrote this, Hoyt Axton, was also a singer, musician, and actor. He played the dad in the movie Gremlins. And he actually was from Oklahoma! 😁

[@buddy3886]

i know and no two song ever sounded a like

[@richardtaylor6187]

Okay. 3 Dog Night. Danny Hutton, one of the singers, is from Ireland. He formed the band with Cory Wells, who has sung both your songs so far, was (RIP) from Buffalo, NY. The other singer, Chuck Negron (mustache) is from Brooklyn. They were in Southern California when they formed the band, so the fabulous musicians are from the West Coast. Diverse band, with many styles. Chuck does the love songs mostly, very beautiful voice. You've heard Cory, bluesy sound with incredible power (A Change Is Gonna Come), and Danny does the pop sounding songs (Black and White). They sung well together. Great 3-part harmony! Give us more...!

[@butterflymama0838]

The man who wrote this (Hoyt Axton) was from Oklahoma. That is why he wrote that in the song. Groovy song! Also, Tree Gog Night was formed in 1967 from L.A., California.

[@RicoBurghFan]

Such an amazing band. Three distinctive vocals and harmonies from God. They helped so many great songwriters of the day, like Harry Nilsson, Randy Newman, Paul Williams, Laura Nyro and Russ Ballard Hoyt Axton on this, who rose to prominence off their songs in large part. You must do more of them, starting with One written by Nilsson, Eli's Coming by Nyro, Liar by Ballard, Old Fashioned Love song by Williams, etc etc. Keep doing more you will never be disappointed.

[@sueparras6028]

Old Fashioned Love Song is one of their best and Eli's Coming is also awesome.

[@djhrecordhound4391]

The 45 versions of both are different. There's even a little doo-wop-ish part near the end that's not on the LP version of "An Old Fashioned Love Song". Lots of ABC/Dunhill singles were remixes.

[@brendawalters3728]

I have absolutely no rhythm and if I sing in the shower the water turns off. In other words I have no musical talent of any kind. Yet when I watch you with your eyes closed and swaying to the music, I find myself swaying with you. Thank you for making me enjoy the music even more.

[@singluna888]

I got my grandparents to watch them on New Year's Rockin Eve with Dick Clark back in the early 70's. Grandpa's toe was tappin! Great band.

[@larrytolson4135]

3DN also did a great rendition of Russ Ballard’s “Liar”. Ballard played with the band Argent. Their number one hit is called “Hold Your Head Up”.

[@djhrecordhound4391]

Of course, Rod Argent led The Zombies before Argent. Apparently he's touring Zombies now (final time? Not sure).

[@larrytolson4135]

@@djhrecordhound4391 yes, Rod did lead up the Zombies. I hear he’s “double hatting” with Argent AND the Zombies. Don’t know if that’s true or not, but it wouldn’t surprise me. I also just found out that Jim Rodford (Argent’s bassist and Rod Argent’s cousin) died in 2018.

[@danieltrickey9285]

And don't forget "God Gave Rock & Roll To You".

[@larrytolson4135]

@@danieltrickey9285 oh, yeah. I haven’t forgotten. The Christian band Petra did a version of this on their Beat The System record.

That was the time where music 🎵 painted the most beautiful picture.💕 I miss that.

[@jamessugg7061]

Amen!!!

[@jeannietrickett1465]

"Eli's Coming" is another great song by Three Dog Night.

[@paulmurphy8993]

Yes, this should be your anthem. And you should blast it from your car. Be loud and be proud!

[@richarddexter7641]

Hoyt Axton (RIP) really knew how to not just write the music, but how to play it. While this one's a great TDN song, you need to react to "Eli's Coming", "One", and "Shambala" for some harder sounds, and "Pieces of April" and "Old Fashioned Love Song" (my senior year prom theme--yep, I'm old) as some of their more mellow tunes. These guys rocked the early 70s.

[@djhrecordhound4391]

Richard, you'd probably dig Hoyt's album called "Joy To The World", where he does that, "Never Been To Spain" and "The Pusher". You might also get a kick out of the "ABC/Dunhill Singles Collection of..." series from a company in Europe. TDN and other artists on the label had mostly remixed 45s, but all the US single master tapes were scrapped "to save money" in the 70s.

[@TheBrooklynbodine]

My favorite memory of this song was listening to it over NYC's 77 WABC, in Fairmont, West Virginia. Fairmont's about 400 miles from NYC. I've been to Oklahoma myself. I was riding with my dad in the car when this came over the radio. This was 1978, when I was 15. Worth it, to be pushing old age now, to have been young then. Posting 2-26-23.

[@CuzKatieSaysSo]

I was waiting for your reaction to "Well I never been to Heaven but I been to Oklahoma" You did not disappoint! On another point, I sure do love the English language. So many words that rhyme that make for great songwriting.

[@waynemcdonald9600]

This song takes me back to the early '70's cruising through the bowling alley in my small south Texas coastal hometown. RIP my runnin' buddy Big John.

[@kenhenderson1762]

In an era where most singers/groups wrote their own songs, 3DN was famous for recording songs from others such as Hoyt Axton, Laura Nyro, Randy Newman, Paul Williams, Harry Nilsson, etc.
