Ian Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 (edited) I'm rediscovering Three Dog Night, especially their song 'Joy to the World'. Who's with me? Edited August 10, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Ry 71 Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Hello Ian! Nice to have a new person to talk to. 3DN is good, and probably has one of the best selection of singles as well. 'One', 'Eli's Coming' (which was the first song I ever played on my radio program! ), 'Celebrate', 'Mama Told Me (Not to Come)', and 'An Old Fashioned Love Song' are probably their best-known songs, and they're all good. :guitar: :happybanana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Jane 61 Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 I have seen them twice in concert and just loved them!! I have a couple of their albums. For some reason I love the song "Pieces of April". Their songs are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 (edited) A couple of years ago I saw them on some music special....they sounded as good as they did years ago....great stuff.. Were most of their songs written by others like Paul Williams and Randy Newman?.....and do you know if they wrote any of their own?....just wondering...

_Laurie_ Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Yes, it's amazing how many songs they did...I didn't realize that untill I saw that special on them..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftbanke Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Here's a little something to think about! 'Joy To The World' was written by Hoyt Axton. He, of course, is a country singer. The label he recorded on was called 'Jeremiah Records' and the logo for Jerimiah Records is a bullfrog. Hmmm, now listen to the song again.

RonJonSurfer Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Nice trivia...welcome. Which came first the label or the song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremiah was a bullfrog. Was a good friend of mine. I never understood a single word he said, but I helped him drink his wine. And he always had some mighty fine wine. Hoyt Axton did enjoy his wine, didn't he?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftbanke Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 From what I understand here's how TDN got their name: In Australia they measure the coldness of the night this way, it is so cold it would take 3 dogs to keep you warm, so a 3 dog night is a very cold night. Of course when I was in high school we used to say it was a triple blind date! __________________________________________________ 'I'm blind and I don't like what I think I see' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Remember the '80s flick "Gremlins"? Hoyt Axton played the dad. He was a good one for the humorous tune... had some great songs back in the day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 A few other songs (he'd written hundreds) written by Hoyt Axton: Never Been To Spain also by Three Dog Night The Pusher-Steppenwolf Green Back Dollar-The Kingston Trio I'll Be There-Glenn Yarborough Extra-credit: Hoyt's Mom co-wrote Elvis's Hit, "Heartbreak Hotel".

MuzikTyme Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 JEMIMA was a pancake syrup. And all this time I thought she was the lady in Gone w/the Wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
