My six year old daughter was in Sunday School Class around Christmas time when the teacher asked if anyone knew the words to "JOY TO THE WORLD",She jumped right up and began "Jeremiah Was A Bullfrog!"Everyone Laughed and Suzy had no idea why.
Love this story because itâs about me!! Love you! đ
Back in the day people thought the song was called Jeremiah was a Bullfrog.
As kids we were fascinated by this song when it came out. The line "Jeremiah was a bullfrog" really caught our attention...and imagination đ
Chuck Negron was born on June 8, 1942, in Manhattan, New York City, to Charles Negron, a Puerto Rican nightclub singer, and Elizabeth Rooke.[4] When Negron was five years old, his parents divorced. Negron and his twin sister, Nancy, were raised by their mother, who placed them in a daycare facility while she supported her young children. Though Negron refers to this facility as an orphanage, it was a mansion in the Bronx that contained a swimming pool, gymnasium, arts and crafts and more. The facility did house some long-term residents, though this did not include Negron and his sister.
#1 for 6 weeks I believe.
A Bullfrog, down New Orleans way. Is what is known as a Wine'o. That's why he always had some mighty fine wine. Jeremiah was a real person. The writer of the song would see him often. That's how he came up with the first few lines of the song.
Three Dog Night was my first concert, I was 15. GREAT show!
i was 6 yrs old when this song came out
Another very popular group from the 70's. Other most notable top hits: One, Celebrate, Liar, Old fashioned love song, Out in the Country, Never been to Spain. Great harmonies. Kind of a whimsical song, but its a MUST dance tune, - then and still now.
First time I ever heard this song 1970, Place: 6th grade school room located in south Elementary School, Fairborn Ohio (right next to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base), in that 6th grade room is a young blond boy obviously not happy with the world, you see just a couple days before he was soaking his feet in the sand at Myrtle Beach Air Force Base. HE had been swept up in paradise and dumped in the Arm pit of North America.
Yes, Hoyt Axton (who played in Gremlins) wrote this song. He also wrote another song this group recorded called "Never Been to Spain". You might want to check it out, too.
Fun Fact: Hoyt's mother (Mae Axton) was one of the two co-writers of "Heartbreak Hotel", the first #1 hit for Elvis on the RCA label in 1956.
Hoyt Axton wrote and recorded this and ''Never Been To Spain ''' ,You gotta react to NEVER BEEN TO SPAIN by Three Dog Night ,
I think this song inspired Harry Nilsson to write his song Joy. A sample lyric: "Joy to the world was a beautiful girl but to me joy meant only sorrow."
The high notes came from Corey, who was more of a lead singer than the other 2, by a smidge, I would say Corey probably led on 40 percent of the songs, but all three could saanggggggggg no doubt.
3 Dog Night "Eli's coming" Its the best live performance I have ever seen.
' 3 Dog Night "live at the forum"album--Wore that sucker out in weeks--all KILLER tracks!!!!
First group to record three #1 hits with three different lead singers. This song, One and Mama Told Me Not To Come.
Another upbeat song by them is called "Brickyard Blues" which by the title doesn't sound upbeat, but most folks know it as "Play Something Sweet".
I remember the spot i was standing in Kodiak Alaska The first time i heard Joy to the world in 1971 I was 10 On the car radio of my mom and Dads , Over looking the town of Kodiak It has been one of my favs for 51 years now, Gatta love them 70s
Hoyt Axton wrote it. Hoyt's mom, Mae Boren Axton, had written "Heartbreak Hotel", Elvis' first hit for RCA in 1956.
This song was written by Hoyt Axton, recorded by Three Dog Night and released on their album in November 1970. An edited version was released in February 1971. In 1971 I was 12 years old and loved this song so much that I memorized all the words. This song finished the year 1971 as the #1 single by Billboard magazine and was the #1 song of New York radio station 77 WABCâs Top 100 of 1971.
Hoyt's Mom, Mae Axton, was also a songwriter. She wrote Heartbreak Hotel for Elvis.
Actually their style was so 60's, really, continued into the early 70's
You may notice that the incredible drummer they have is a Black Canadian gentleman from Calgary Alberta named Floyd Sneed. He is a direct descendent of Parson Sneed who led a large group of African Americans from Colorado to Alberta Canada after the Civil War and they formed one of the largest Black Communities in Canada at a place called Amber Valley.
In the early 1960s - Floyd's older sister Maxine married a guy who had a band. Tommy and Maxine bought Floyd his first drum set and he joined Tommy's band called The Calgary Shades. The name was coined by Tommy as a joke on the racial make-up of the band. Tommy was half Chinese and half white, two other members were Black, and one was aboriginal. Tommy and Maxine had a daughter named Rae Dawn.
They went to Vancouver BC and Tommy opened a club and the band got to be pretty popular. They met an African American named Bobby Taylor in LA and he joined the band as the new lead singer.
The newly named Bobby Taylor and The Vancouvers did a song written by Tommy (who played guitar in the band) called "Does Your Mama Know?" Supremes members Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson heard the song and got Barry Gordy of Motown to sign the band. "Does Your Mama Know?" became a big hit for the group (#34) and they toured the US.
While in Chicago - they were impressed by a family band who opened for them called The Jackson Five. Bobby Taylor brought the band to Motown where they were signed and he mentored the group and produced their first two albums. Yes - the Jackson Five were discovered and brought up in the business by Bobby Taylor - not Dianna Ross as the publicity machine later claimed.
The band sort of fell apart and Tommy met a guy named Cheech Marin who was sent by his dad (who was a captain in the LA police dept.) to Vancouver to avoid the Vietnam Draft. They formed the comedy duo Cheech and Chong. Yes - Canadian Tommy Chong was a guitar playing Motown songwriter before he became a legendary comedian. He and Maxine's Daughter - Rae Dawn Chong became a pretty popular actress, and Floyd Sneed went down to LA where he was discovered playing drums in a bar by Chuck Negron and Danny Hutton and asked to be the drummer for the band they were forming which became the legendary Three Dog Night.
It's a small world - ain't it?
Love Your Interactions
doing a little research on this song, the original lyrics were "Jeremiah was a prophet", but Three Dog Night changed to a "bullfrog"; so based on that, the song is a reference to "Jeremiah" from the Old Testament in the Christian Bible.
A bullfrog is a Hobo that's avoiding the "cops" (Bull-[dogs]) as he jumps from one train to another.
Can't go wrong with anything by Three DogNight. Just fun feel good music.
I remember the story of how they got their name. Up north if it was when it got bitterly cold for the eskimo's, they would bring the dogs into the igloo to sleep between them. So if it was super cold it would be a "Three Dog Night."
Written by the late, great Hoyt Axton, R.I.P.
Three Dog Night is one of the great rock bands of the early 1970's. "Joy To The World" is my favorite song from them and their biggest hit that went to #1 on the pop charts in 1971. I remember singing "Jeremiah was a bullfrog" when I was only 6 years old. Great reaction, ladies. "One" is another song of theirs I'd love for you to react to.
Three Dog Night were all over the pop charts for a few years. I mean, come on, you have three legit frontmen/lead vocalists, backed up by a solid band that could do everything from romantic love songs to straight up butt-kickin' rock & roll at equally high levels of performance.
He one best singer of all times great live performance
I had the privilege of seeing these guys play live in a small club in the early to mid 80s. It was a few years after their heyday throughout the 70s so they were touring small venues but they were still in their prime. Great performers!
You didn't see Chuck Negron who was the lead singer on this song. He was hooked on heroin during that time and living on the streets in LA until he overcame his addiction in 1991. Great man who battled his demons and won. Now 80yrs old and living in LA with his wife Ami.
â@@BobSoltis1 Actually, I did see Chuck Negron. I saw them live in early 1984. The band had reunited in 1981with all original members except Joe Schermie, and Negron was active in the band until he entered rehab in late 1985. He then rejoined and then relapsed again and was kicked out by December 1985. That's almost two years after I saw them. In addition, I even still have the flyer from the concert which shows him in the band.
@@39thala Then I stand corrected.
R.I.P. Cory Wells 1941-2015. Although Chuck Negron, the group's high guy, sings lead on this one.
OK Mom, Nat King Cole had a nice hit "Rambling Rose" in the 60's . Then, soon you need to bring CCR to the party. and I would to see Daughter's reaction to the Marty Robbins hit "El Paso"
El Paso...great song; sad story. And don't forget Big Iron....It wasn't just big; it was on his hip!
"Mama (Gap) told me not to come"
My fav song of theirs!
Great group ! .. They had not 1, not 2, but 3 lead vocalists who were all excellent, and provided great variety to the sounds of their various hits, of which they had many .. Another nice reaction, and I always love the commentary and demonstrations of Mamma Gap's dance moves ! đ
Written by the father on GREMLINS
Other songs to react to are Black and White and Mama told me not to Come, a couple of 3 Dog Night classics
Naturally (1970). This is the hit single version, however, with the zingy solo in the middle, which made Number One the following spring.
Thank you to Momma Gap for recommending this amazing song. My introduction to rock and roll at the age of 11. Danny, Chuck and Cory were three vocals. Chuck sang lead in this song. They were all great, but Chuck was my favorite.
đđđđđ
Back in the early 70âs my 3rd grade teacher played the guitar and taught us this song as well as John Denverâs Country Roads.
Ok, Chicago had 3. đ
Three Dog Night scored a succession of 21 hit singles, including eleven Top Tens, and twelve consecutive gold albums from 1969 to 1975, thanks to the slick, sometimes soulful vocal harmonies of singers Danny Hutton, Chuck Negron, and Cory Wells and an excellent ear for quality material. The band was noted for its creative arrangements and interpretations, and their cover choices gave exposure (and royalties) to several talented songwriters: Nilsson ("One"), Laura Nyro ("Eli's Coming"), Randy Newman ("Mama Told Me (Not to Come)"), Hoyt Axton ("Joy to the World"). They took their name from an Australian expression describing low nocturnal temperatures in the outback (the colder the night, the more dogs needed to keep warm while sleeping). Laura Nyro is one of my favorite artists. Her voice may be an acquired taste because most of her songs charted with other singers. STONY END for Streisand, WEDDING BELL BLUES for The 5th Dimension and ELI'S COMIN' performed by Three Dog Night.
Hoyt Axton also wrote another big hit for TDN, "Never Been To Spain".
@@padfolio -Hoyt also wrote hit songs for other people including the "No, No, Song" for Ringo Star, and "The Pusher" and "Snowblind Friend" for Steppenwolf. Fun bit of trivia - he and his mom are the only mother and son to have both written #1 songs. Mae Axton co-wrote "Heartbreak Hotel".
Three Dog Night was not among my favorite groups back then, but I liked their sound, especially the song Shambala, and the first concert my girlfriend (later my wife) and I went to was to see them some 48 years ago. They were great live.
The great singer is Chuck Negron. The other two great singers are Cory Welles and Danny Hutton. This trio added to the greatness of the group
Very successful hmmm 68 to around 75. Many good songs. Easy to be Hard, Never Been to Spain, Eli's Coming, One, Shambala. Cory did a magnificent job covering Try a Little Tenderness by Otis Redding, worth checking out!
I had the pleasure of filling in as a roadie for these guys back in the 80s. Years later I took my son to see them in concert when he was 3 5 and 6. Being named Jeremiah he would go crazy and dance in the aisle each time they played this. Great band with so many huge hits back in the day.
Terrific band and a lot of hits! Their first hit, One, Eli's Coming, Try A Little Tenderness (a cover), Shambala, Mama Told Me Not To Come, Liar and others enjoy!! Love your channel!
đčOk now that you opened that door you have to play more. Black and white next please đâđč
Another great reaction. I must be a party pooper; I could never figure out for the life of me how on earth that song was the #1 song for 1971. Oh well, I've mellowed a little and I don't mind it now. Almost any song from my youth gets me nostalgic.
Love it!
I grew up listening to 3 Dog Night in my teens way back in the seventies.
You've open a box of music that is impressive and vast.
I saw these guys live in a large concert hall sometime around '71 - '73 when they were at the pinnacle of their fame, and they were HUGE. Absolutely amazing, they blew the roof off the place! Michale Allsup, their lead guitar, was one of the best guitar players of that era, yet little known unless you're into electric guitar. Like so many bands of that time the Hammond screaming though Leslie cabs was mind numbing!
Most iconic intro ever.
Oh my...ladies...Three Dog Night will give you many awesome reactions! Ron the painter
A real feel good classic
The name, "Three Dog Night" is an Australian aboriginal term. The Aborigine people bed down with their dogs at night when it's cold out. A Three Dog Night is the coldest night of the year.
Thank you for that David! We would have never known
Thank you for an evening of fine entertainment. Laughed a lot , learned a lot.See you Sunday. On CZcams ,there is a lot of the Carpenters on early TV shows. With Bob Hope is very funny.
These guys related to the audience so well and had a blast while preforming.
loved your reaction hundred percent
Hello ladies :) One of the best concerts I've ever seen was in Yakima, Washington. It was Three Dog Night, America, and The Beach Boys. This song got more of a reaction from the audience than any other song.
That must have been a great concert!! How lucky âșïž Yakima would have been worth the drive for us!
Youâve got to do One, Eliâs coming, Try a little tenderness, Pieces of April, Let me seranade you, the show must go on
Danny Chuck and Cory. They were huge in the late 60's and early 70's. This was their biggest hit and it is great, I mean starting a song by belting out Jeremiah Was A Bull Frog, wow. However, my favorite songs are Celebrate and Eli's Coming. You need to check them out
Great reaction, you two!! Love your interactions with each other, love your love of music and of each other!! Now we need a dance off!!!!
I love bands that have two or more lead vocalists. In this case, three very complimenting male vocalists is just amazing. Great band with such an extensive catalog. âEliâs Comingâ is indeed one of my favorites. â„ïžâđŒđ
The Dogs were the greatest super group of the 70's. They had a string of hits that were fantastic. You should really listen to the album version of Shambala. It is an uplifting song and such a thrill. Old Fashioned Love Song has great harmonies. Celebrate is a party song and there are just too many others to mention. Thanks for this one.
Another great song by the Three Dog Night. They are such a great band. Also a big hit during my senior year in high school. Great memories! Enjoyed your reaction.
I don't think any band 3 as great singers as this one. More of them to come?
I think you'd like 'Mama told me(not to come)' their cover of a Randy Newman song that gave them a huge hit.
I first heard this because it was one of a number of classic hits included on the soundtrack of the 1983 film "The Big Chill", and my parents had a tape cassette of it in the car a fair bit when I was a kid. We must have worn it out by how often we played that thing. đ
If you're adding to your list of requests, I'd really enjoy watching you react to my all-time favorite band: Creedence Clearwater Revival. The list of classics from that group is very long but a few that would be great to start with include Green River, Proud Mary and Have You Ever Seen the Rain.
I'm really enjoy watching your reactions! The generational perspective is especially interesting to me as I'm one of your older subscribers. Three Dog Night was a part of the very first concert I ever attended in October of 1969. They made a live album of that performance. This particular song is not one of my favorites but the musical talent and especially the voice qualities are undeniable. If you're interested in more Three Dog Night, I would recommend Eli's Coming, Celebrate, One, Easy to be Hard, Try a Little Tenderness. Can't go wrong with any of those.
Thank you Richardo! We will definitely get to those songs by this great band
Loved Chuck's mustache, Corey's voice, Danny's sense of humor. RiP Corey
You two are great!
I think Chuck had the best voice, but Cory was a close second. Chuck could sing both deep and high where Corey had a nice raspy voice. I really enjoyed both of them. Danny blended in well with them.
Love the group!! But this is a must. You guys have to react to âChest Feverâ, the guitar riff and bass riff are just đ€Żđ€Żđ€Ż
React to Black And White by Three Dog Night
My parents had this one in the house, brings me right back to childhood. Great song.
How about doing some spooky songs for Halloween?
A few suggestions:
Alan Parsons Project - "The Raven"
Elelphant's Memory - "Mongoose" (with Lyrics)
Steve Holy - "Someones Out To Get Me" (or the version by Demented Are Go)
PLEASE react to Shambala (studio version). Itâs my favorite Three Dog Night song.
As is mentioned elsewhere, this song was written by Hoyt Axton, mostly known as a folk singer. However, what people don't know is he wrote songs for lots of groups. Though he was considered primarily a country singer-songwriter, his songs crossed genres quite often. In fact, he wrote Never Been To Spain, another Three Dog Night (and others) hit song. He wrote a HEAVY (i.e. dark) song about drugs for the group, Steppenwolf called, "The Pusher", which was featured in the movie Easy Rider (1969).
He was also in a LOT of movies, the most famous would be, Gremlins, as Randall "Rand" Peltzer, the father of the lead character, Billy Peltzer.
BTW, Three Dog Night refers to the 3 main singers, but is a reference to (supposedly) an old Aborigine custom. It seems that when a traveler in Australia stopped to sleep on a cold night, he would dig a hole in the ground to sleep in, to keep the wind off of him. He would also sleep with a dog to for warmth, but if it was especially cold, he might sleep with 2 dogs, and if it was REALLY cold ... yep, you guessed it, 3 dogs. So, the expression, "it's a 3 dog night" became popular to mean, "it's REALLY cold out", similar to words and sayings like, "threshold", "it's raining cats and dogs" (another great story there), "dog-day afternoon", etc.
Yep - Hoyt wrote a lot of songs about drugs because, sadly, they consumed his life.
@@BobSoltis1 Yeah, I always liked him. He seemed like such a nice guy. I could tell that The Pusher must have come from REAL life, and wasn't just something some thought up.
The Pusher was written in 1964 , Stephenwolf wasn't formed until late 1967 although John Kay had been using it in his solo act since his first trip to California. Another anti drug song of Hoyt's that was written with Steppenwolf in mind was Snowblind Friend , about the loss of a mutual friend of Hoyt and John Kay .
@@bobbrinkerhoff3592 I appreciate the extra information and yeah, I misspoke. I don't know what I was thinking at the time.
I think I just worded it poorly because I had no actual foreknowledge about whether it was written for them or not ... and that wasn't actually my point. I just meant it WAS a hit for them, and he wrote it.
Thank you for the clarification.
Seen 'em live. (Could say that about a lot of bands featured on here.)
Please do Three Dog Night "I've Never Been To Spain" great song.
I was a teenager-late teens-when this song came out. I loved this song. My mother was crazy about it-she sang it for years and it became one of her favorites! LOL
Three Dog Night was a hit machine. My favorite of theirs is "Black and White", which is about the fact we are all God's children, and that skin color is irrelevant.
The group's name comes from the fact that in Australia, the aborigines huddle with dogs on cold nights to keep warm. On severely cold nights, they huddle with three dogs, hence a "three dog night".
