THREE DOG NIGHT Joy to the world (music reaction) This is so beautiful! First time hearing

[@vincentdarrah]

This song was written on a dare. The writer, Hoyt Axton says he was bet that he couldn't write a song with the lyric Jeremiah was a bullfrog, so he did

[@angelajakem366]

This song was played at every wedding I attended in the 70's. Always filled the dance floor.

[@bobschenkel7921]

With an opening line like "Jeremiah was a Bullfrog, was a good friend of mine." how could this song not be a hit. It was written by Singer/Songwriter/Actor Hoyt Axton (RIP), he was the dad in the movie "Gremlins", his best known movie role. Three Dog Night were huge in the early 70's, and this song was everywhere for a time, TV and Radio.

[@collette9008]

Boomer here. This is one of the happiest songs ever!!! We were always cruising and singing as loud as we could to this great song! Thanks Imadrummin 😘. You always choose the best 👌. Thanks Harri 😘. Don't you feel happier now 😃?

[@Imadrummin]

My pleasure collette and thank you for your kind compliment. 😀

[@wolfen26]

This one and Dancing in the Moonlight are some of the fun easy listening songs from back then. love it.

[@digzat]

Three Dog Night has an impressive catalog of hits. Every time I hear any of their songs….makes my heart smile!!! Feel good music is what I am saying ❤Harri Best… listen to the song “The Ink is Black”. They were way ahead of their time

[@punkydoodle4774]

The song title to look for is "Black and White." Good song, promoting racial harmony.

[@jesterger]

This song was written by the late, great, song writer, Hoyt Axton. Look him up, he wrote a lot of good stuff.

[@pncombies]

I was in "Chorus" in 5th and 6th grade. We would perform at junior highs and have concerts at our school. We sang "Joy To The World" and "Hair" among other contemporary songs of that era. Our chorus teacher/pianist was a cute, modern woman of the the late '60's early 70's with her mini-skirts, mini-dresses and fashion. She was cooler than the other side of the pillow. Good stuff, Imadrummin! Harri was digging this, brother. Thanks, fellas!

[@sourisvoleur4854]

I love that "cooler than the other side of the pillow." I'm going to find a way to use that.

[@pncombies]

@@sourisvoleur4854 Run with it!! 😎🥶

[@Imadrummin]

A cool reflection brother. Those were the days. You are very welcome my friend. ✌

[@nancyharn1980]

A few more of their many great songs are Shambala, Never Been to Spain, and Out In the Country.

[@craigaust3306]

He has already done Out In The Country

[@nancyharn1980]

Missed it. Will look for it. Thanks!

[@John_Chu]

Written by Hoyt Axton ("The Pusher" - Steppenwolf, "Never Been to Spain" - Three Dog Night, "No No Song" - Ringo Starr, "Greenback Dollar" - Kingston Trio). His mother, Mae Axton, wrote "Heartbreak Hotel," which Elvis Presley made his first #1 hit. Thanks Imadrummin and Harri.

[@agnetesorensenelbom5085]

👍💯❤

[@Imadrummin]

My pleasure John. ✌

[@debjorgo]

Had a hit of his own with Rusty Old Halo.

[@caroleann_2142]

Hoyt, wasn't just Gizmos, owner.😂❤

[@debjorgo]

@@caroleann_2142Yeah, Hoyt had a pretty decent acting career in movies and TV, going back as early as 1966's Smoky. I vaguely remember seeing him on Bonanza, singing with Adam Cartwright.

[@TheOriginalRick]

#1 Billboard Song of the Year for 1971. Dominated the charts/radio air play in the Spring of that year.

[@brianrobbins5649]

I remember singing this in gradeschool music class in the 70s

[@fscottgray9784]

In the fifth grade we had to ride the bus a hour to and from school. We all sanf this song over and over the whole year.

[@magneto7930]

Definitely one of their best. So many great songs in the Three Dog Night catalog!

[@davidjones6389]

I caught them live at a USO show overseas. They are rockers....

[@billenright2788]

One of the most under-rated bands. Very creative good time stuff.

[@almostfm]

I remember us having some sort of outdoor activity at my elementary school when I was 6, so 1971, and I loved it then. It wasn't until I got older that I realized just how cool the chord progression on "Joy to the fishes in the deep blue see" is.

[@junglejane2824]

A bunch of us girls would sing this in the mid 70s, riding around our town.. Great fun! Great review Harry, Ty.

[@marybaillie8907]

From their 4th album, Naturally, from 1970, this song was featured in The Big Chill among many movies and shows. "Jeremiah was a Bullfrog", one of the most popular known opening lines and recognizable guitar lead into a 70's song this was a huge hit. Unlike most Three Dog Night songs, this featured all seven members singing the vocals, instead of the usual 3 members. The band is fully rocking out in this song, the great vocals, masterful guitars and pulsating drums just phenomenal. Reached Number 1 in the US and Canada on the charts. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Imadrummin. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

Many a Church Choir sang this song😊

[@sherribrock2726]

Everything Three Dog Night song is great. I can’t think of one bad song and they have a huge catalogue!!

[@Tunachaz62]

Great, great, band! Should be in the rock roll hall of fame! It’s criminal that they aren’t.

[@Kirk-x8w]

One of the best songs that Three Dog Night came out with featuring Chuck Negron on vocals, his voice can go as sweet and soft and tender as possible and yet he can kick ass if need be on a song. And you can't believe it or not, but after all these decades and so many hits, the stupid asses at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame have still not inducted Three Dog Night in, if that ain't insane I don't know what the hell is.

[@finnmcool2]

In the mid '90's I was briefly in music school and was surprised that this was one of the few songs that everyone seemed to know.

[@jdw5678]

In the U.S., this song was HUGE -- it was the #1 song of the year 1971, getting massive airplay and selling over 5 million copies. I don't think it was as big in the U.K., but here in the states, it was everywhere. You couldn't escape it!

[@chetstevensq]

3 Dog Night had a #1 with Black and White which I do not think you have reviewed yet. You are missing a classic! Danny Hutton sang lead for this one.

[@bernie66]

Good old classics, when it came out the classics were the 50's and 60's. Time sneaks up on us too fast. That's ok, all genres of music is enjoyable to me and keeps me young. 😊👋🧑‍🦳🫶✳️🛜🎶

[@Imadrummin]

Glad you enjoyed this one Harri! One of Three Dog Night's many great songs. We need more Joy in this world. ✌👍✌

[@Cynthia...]

Got that right we need WAY more joy in this world. Great song Imadrummin.

[@Imadrummin]

@@Cynthia... Thank you Cynthia. You're the best. 👍

[@darrendixon3191]

I use to sing this song in a band when I was in 4th grade. Thought I was a rockstar. Good times. Thanks Harri.

[@ferdinandfrancis9673]

Can't go wrong with the " Three dog night"

[@kierstenridgway4634]

Thus was part of our soundtrack. My little brother's name is Jeremy, and we would sing it to him. ❤❤✌️

[@subwaygoddess1]

Harri, I sing with a rock 'n Roll choir, the Gotham Rock Choir in NYC, and we sing this every holiday season!

[@SunShine-qk4rb]

It’s such a beautiful,happy,joyful song

[@Lakeshore14]

Thanks Imadrummin for referring this to Harri. Loved this song back in the early 70s. It got a lot of airplay. The Rascals (previously the Young Rascals) had some great songs. Another favorite wasEli’s Coming, which Harri has also reacted to. We just had the best music in the 60s, 70s and 80s. The glory days!! Thanks Harri for a great reaction. 👏👏🇨🇦

[@Imadrummin]

I agree. Little did we know how special the music of that era would be. You're welcome Lakeshore. ✌

[@roadwary56]

This song is about optimism a long forgotten notion.

[@DanielVolk-jm4nt]

Great choice Imadrummin. Had this on my list for future picks. Love 3 Dog Night. A winner. Very good reaction Harri. 👍😉🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧🤴

[@terridostal1348]

Boy did we dance to this whole album.

[@amb6899]

Chuck Negron is one of the greatest singers ever!! This may have been the biggest songs of 71, if not very near 3 great singers, an iconic group 🎉🎉, very successful probably from 68 to 75.

[@jeffreyflint6286]

Talk about stoned and partying in high school! Man did we ever! 🤪🤟🤟

Timeless!!!

[@lindanoreika893]

It was great to dance to this. Formed kinda snake line. It was so cool! These songs make me feel young again, at the same time bittersweet. So many wonderful groups I have seen 🥰🥰🥰

[@randyhoneycutt8153]

Several years ago I went to a Christmas party and there was a Barbershop Quartet dressed in Dickensian costumes walking around sing carols. Someone requested “Joy to the World” and this is what they sang. Caught everyone off guard and did it wonderfully. Great choice, Harri.

[@brucekastel707]

This holds a special place in my heart. It was released in 1970, the same year I got out of the army. A time of great music, happieness and partying light years away from whats happening these days.

[@jessicaleblanc-nh1yl]

My mother used to sing this song to me when I was a little girl. It has always brought giggles & comfort. Love this band, as well.

[@Festvangelist]

Dancing, signing and just acting out with song was awesome…I was 21, fantastic life of music. Thanks Harri, yeah Gospel Funk all the way. Theses guys were soulful and a joy to listen to …great harmony’s.

[@beverlybrown2673]

Shambala, One, Mama Told Me Not to Come, Never Been to Spain, and many more. Lots of great 70s music from Three Dog Night. And their live performances are usually hilarious.

[@kympridham8267]

I find it impossible to believe this is the first time hearing .. Great song though

[@bradsense7431]

This was my first concert when this song was top of charts. Spring 1971 and eighth grade. But among their hits I personally put this one towards the bottom of the list. So many better. Out In The Country, Shambla, One, Eli’s Comming and others.

[@kierstenridgway4634]

This really made me happy! Thanks Harri!

[@walterpanovs]

This huge hit was the overall #1 record in the USA for 1971 and has been much-covered since. Three Dog Night had hit after hit for a number of years in the early '70s. When they talk about bands who've been snubbed by the Rock Hall of Fame they aren't usually mentioned, but they should be.

[@beadybaby]

as a kid, I remember my brother listening to this and "Smoke on the Water" excessively! get that phonograph on repeat LOL Three Dog Night is a great rabbithole.

[@otalldon5582]

three dog night was my first band that I had to hear everything they put out... Just a kid... knew every word, every song.

[@cathy8964]

Music brings all of us together as one! It makes me love everyone! Music is my passion!! Great song! ❤❤

[@sherigrow6480]

Absolutely we sung this in church, with only slight changes to the lyrics. !

[@sherrybrown6136]

Please react to my favorite Three Dog Night song, "Black and White".

[@Able-Man]

I'm pretty sure that I was in 8th grade, when this song hit the airwaves! (Maybe the 7th) I've got a neighbor named Jeremiah and have been calling him: "Bullfrog"... I don't think he'd ever heard this song, before I told him about it! (He's 20- 30× years younger than I am.)

This is one of the most iconic songs from the 70's.... and it really encapsulates the 70's. I forgot the movie this song had a featured role in the classic movie, The Big Chill.

[@ChuckHackney]

Oh yeah. I remembered...... The Big Chill.

My knickname is frog, maybe should be Jeremiah. There was another great 70's tune that featured a frog lyric...see "I Am, I Said" by Neil Diamond. Ribbbbitttt!!!!!!

[@blackcatboneBJ]

Joy To The World and I Never Been to Spain wereboth written by the legendary songwriter Hoyt Axton. Axton was known among other things for his sly humour and his whimsical lyrics. So there is little point in trying to make sense of them...just enjoy them. My favourite lyric by Axton is from his song Della and The Dealer.The chorus goes " If the cat could talk what a tale he'd tell, about Della and The Dealer and the dog as well., but the cat was cool and he never said a mumblin' word." he is a whimsical delightful clever funny singer songwriter...so dont worry about the meaning just enjoy them..:))))

How did we go from a beautiful, happy anthem like this wishing joy to the whole world to the woke, twisted, unhappy, victim-filled world of today in such a short time? When I listen to this the contrast between that world and today is so incredibly stark and plain. Unreal.

I always hated this song!! Because of the majority of the ignorance of the people who think the name of the song is the first thing said, plus they associate it with my name because my first name is Jeremiah!!
