He attended a drug -fuelied party and wasn’t ready for it lol “Do you want sugar in your water , whiskey in your tea”? Code for pills. Other songs - Eli’s Coming, Old Fashioned Love Song, Joy To The World ,Shambala ( 1975 live concert).
Cory Welles was a great singer. What made this band unique and great was 3 great lead singers sharing duties. Many great songs Joy to the World, Easy to be Hard, Elis Coming Shambala and more. Very successful from late 60s into early 70s Cory did a terrific cover of Otis Reddings Try a little Tenderness, phenomenal!
I beg to differ they were very successful. Had 3 great singers sharing lead, sold millions of records 21 hit songs. You may b referring their not in Rock n Roll Hall of Fame Their not sam's goes for Tommy James and the Shondells it's travesty. Tho the Gogo s got in this yr, what a joke!
@@shanenolan8252 Absolutely. Just found their performance of that song on the Letterman show. I REALLY liked the version from the movie, though. I have to watch that movie again every so often. A lot of fun.
@@barryanderson3910 cool Barry, its been awhile since i watched the movie myself. Enjoy your rewatch. Oh yes the movie version hits differently. Its the climax of the story . And there is a build up to that moment.
I enjoy watching Angela's reactions. I may be old, but I do like watching young people's surprise when they realize we had excellent music (in my opinion most better than what is passed off on people nowadays and without any digital enhancement.)
During that period I saw Three Dog Night 3 times. They were the greatest cover band of all time, and every concert was a joy. Try them doing "Eli's Coming", "One", my favorite "Shambala", and "Easy To Be Hard". All covers, all big hits, all great interpretations.
Country music also has a lot of comedy in songs: (1) Johnny Cash "A Boy Named Sue" live from San Quentin, (2) Charlie Daniel's "Uneasy Rider", (3) Hank Williams "My Bucket"s Got a Hole In It", (4) Jim Stafford "Wildwood Weed", (5) Roger Miller "King of the Road", (6) Jimmie Rodgers "In The Jailhouse Now",....
3 Dog night were some white guys with soul..loved thire voices. As far as the keyboard liick, That Fender Rhoades had one of the craziest tones i"ve ever heard on an electric piano. I knew you'd have fun with this song, Angela...check out more from them--all of thier tunes are great music!!
Open up the window sucker let me catch my breath, LMAO, my favorite line! This is a good weird. The song is actually funny as hell, but it's a fun rocking tune!
Three Dog Night is a very deep well of an awful lot of great songs, with a lot of different sounds. Some great suggestions would be: Eli’s Coming, Never Been To Spain, Out In The Country, and Joy To The World; and this is barely scratching the top of that list. I am really enjoying watching you enjoy the music of my teen years, and appreciate you keeping all of this music alive.
Mid April 2023 just watched your reaction one year later. I'm going to backtrack and see if you listen to any more of their music because if you haven't you're really missing out. Those commenters were not exaggerating they were one of the best bands of that era. Still are in my book. Thanks for this
Three Dog Night!!! A deep rabbit hole of hits. I didn't see them in concert until about 1988 when they doing fairs were admission was free once you were on the fair grounds. A friend and I took my 5 year daughter. When they played "Out In the Country" (AKA Before the breathing air is gone and the sun is just a bright spot in the night time.) everybody got their lighters out. Now it is the light from cell phones.
When it was cold outside, people would have a dog sleep at the foot of their bed to keep their feet warm. If it was colder, still, they might have 2 dogs, so a 3 Dog Night is a very, very cold night. That's what the band's name relates to.
With three lead singers Three Dog Night covered songs from a variety of artists and sounded close to many. They covered LEO Sayers, Randy Neumann and others. Eli's Coming is one of my favorites.
One of my GOATS in the 70's growing up with this awesome group and having met them in person they signed my "Captured Live at the Fourm" LP individually on their own pics (see the cover) and I saw them in concert so many times I lost count. Loved them and miss them dearly. Thanks for the awesome memories of the decade of my youth! So many hits their funniest yet probably most honest hit songs was "Joy to the World" which rode the #1 Billboard spot for 6-weeks! Cheers!
So much fun! Angie, are you enjoying our childhood music? So much variety huh? Are you used to seeing men with long hair and the fashion. Best decade ever!
Every night when I go to bed I see my brother's Three Dog Night "Seven Separate Fools" album up on the shelf. I remember it contained giant playing cards along with the record. Very cool!
Biggest band in the world from 68-75! 21 top 40 records multiple number ones and a fantastic sound from a excellent band full of great musicians!!! hall of fame, should have been first ballot.
The poor last note! It never got a chance. Nice Hair! One of the best sheens I've ever seen. How many coconuts had to give their lives to cover all that area?
Will you have whiskey with your water Or sugar with your tea What are these crazy questions That they're asking of me This is the craziest party That there ever could be Oh, don't turn on the light 'Cause I don't want to see Mama told me not to come Mama told me not to come That ain't the way to have fun Open up the window Let some air into this room I think I'm almost choking from The smell of stale perfume And that cigarette you're smoking 'Bout to scare me half to death Open up the window sucka Let me catch my breath Mama told me not to come Mama told me not to come That ain't the way to have fun, son That ain't the way to have fun, son The radio is blasting, Someone's beating on the door I'm looking at my girlfriend She's passed out on the floor I seen so many things I ain't never seen before I don't know what it is But I don't wanna see no more Mama told me not to come Mama told me not to come She said, that ain't the way to have fun, son That ain't the way to have fun, Mama told me, Mama told me, Mama told me Told me, told me, Mama told me not to come Mama told me not to come That ain't the way to have fun, no That ain't the way to have fun, son That ain't the way to have fun, no That ain't the way to have fun, son That ain't the way to have fun, no That ain't the way to have fun, son That ain't the way to have fun, no That ain't the way to have fun, son Writer/s: RANDY NEWMAN Publisher: BMG Rights Management, Songtrust Ave, Warner Chappell Music, Inc.

Love this song! Forever!!! My fav group!!! So much fun!!! Listen to”Eli’s Coming”!!! “One is the Loneliest Number”, “Old Fashioned Love Song”, “Shambala” tribute to the Movie: “Road to Shambala” 1970’s…
I was only 6 when this came out, but my oldest sister was 16 and had the 45 record. I feel so lucky she introduced my all the great music at an early age! Great reaction Angela.
This band is awesome! So many incredible songs like Joy to the World, One, Eli's Coming, Try A Little Tenderness, etc.. I think this song makes perfect sense...Lol! And that lyric you were not sure of: "That ain't the way to have fun... son..."
He said, "Mama told me not to come, That ain't the way to have fun, son". In the song, he was saying that he DID go to the party, and was describing things that he saw, and realizing how right his mama was.
"Mama Told Me Not To Come, That Ain't No Way To Have Fun - Son - " .. Written by Randy Newman, Listen to Randy's original version & be amazed at the difference when a Band makes a song their own..
One of the highlights when I was young was opening for 3 Dog Night in 1970. We had won a battle of the bands when I was a sophomore in high school. We had been together for 3 years and had about 10 original songs. We broke up afterwards because three of us had enlisted in the marines, two were killed in action I was wounded twice, another member was killed by a drunk driver 3 months after the concert.
One of the bands from my youth. Tried to get into their concert when they came to NZ back in early 70s. You could do that at Western Springs but you had to be fast and know where to sneak in. Lol.
Gotta do as people have suggested "Black & White" so relevant even today. The many others here suggested are good as well. I think you might also enjoy some Blood, Sweat & Tears.
![SAFEPLANET - ดาวเคราะห์ [ THE PLANET ]](/img/n.gif)
Good gravy you're a beautiful woman. The last minute of the song where they sort of go off is the best. I could listen to an hour of just that!
"Never Been To Spain", "Just An Old Fashioned Love Song", and "Shambala" are all bangers from 3 Dog Night.
He attended a drug -fuelied party and wasn’t ready for it lol “Do you want sugar in your water , whiskey in your tea”?
Code for pills. Other songs - Eli’s Coming, Old Fashioned Love Song, Joy To The World ,Shambala ( 1975 live concert).
Three Dog Night was a great band with a lot of hits. My favorite is "Black and White".
Angela, I love your hair styled that way.
Cory Welles was a great singer. What made this band unique and great was 3 great lead singers sharing duties. Many great songs
Joy to the World, Easy to be Hard, Elis Coming Shambala and more. Very successful from late 60s into early 70s Cory did a terrific cover of Otis Reddings Try a little Tenderness, phenomenal!
This song was written by the legendary Randy Newman of "I Love L.A." and winning music oscars fame.
I didn't know that but I'm not surprised!!! Lol....She should react to some of Randy Newman's stuff!!!
totally forgot that..Good call!
“That ain’t the way to have fun..”
Son.
Three Dog Night is so underrated as a group their harmonies are excellent thank you for reacting love your Channel
I beg to differ they were very successful. Had 3 great singers sharing lead, sold millions of records 21 hit songs. You may b referring their not in Rock n Roll Hall of Fame
Their not sam's goes for Tommy James and the Shondells it's travesty. Tho the Gogo s got in this yr, what a joke!
@@Mark-iv7np never even been nominated for the Rock Hall of Fame. Not even nominated!!
Three Dog Night and The Grass Roots both had a lot of hits and were successful, but neither are mentioned when talking about great bands of the 70's.
@@clayboutin400 The Guess Who is a really great band, and also have never even been nominated. Never even nominated!
And Grand Funk Railroad. All should be in.
The second part of that lyric is "That ain't no way to have fun, son". Love your reactions!!🙂
Three Dog Night successfully mixed rock, soul & gospel! Man...They could jam!
1 of my favorite song of my childhood! Still love it today.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍
Fun song and group! 70's had great music!
Being a teenager in the seventies we had some great music.
The 70s was just a fun awesome time for great music
They do a killer cover of the Otis Redding song "try a little tenderness" you would dig it ✌️
Oh, yesss!
Yes then the cover by Irish group the commitments. Amazing cover.
@@shanenolan8252 Absolutely. Just found their performance of that song on the Letterman show. I REALLY liked the version from the movie, though. I have to watch that movie again every so often. A lot of fun.
@@barryanderson3910 cool Barry, its been awhile since i watched the movie myself. Enjoy your rewatch. Oh yes the movie version hits differently. Its the climax of the story . And there is a build up to that moment.
They have LOTS of great songs...this being my favorite!! Try Shambala, Black and White
Momma told me not to come, thats not the way to have fun son😁
I enjoy watching Angela's reactions. I may be old, but I do like watching young people's surprise when they realize we had excellent music (in my opinion most better than what is passed off on people nowadays and without any digital enhancement.)
I also am from that Era with 3 dog night.
Just as I love that song....I love the pretty girl reviewing the song. I'm in love !!! Lolol
When you are invited to a party, and you later suddenly realise it s a Hells Angels party........BEST TIME EVER!
Joy to the World, Black & White, Shambala, Old Fashioned Love Song...an underrated band. Always great.
During that period I saw Three Dog Night 3 times. They were the greatest cover band of all time, and every concert was a joy. Try them doing "Eli's Coming", "One", my favorite "Shambala", and "Easy To Be Hard". All covers, all big hits, all great interpretations.
Also, Black and White, Never Been To Spain and One
Used to sing their song,joy to the world on the church bus.
Thanks for letting the song play through before your comments. Written by Randy Newman, one of New Orleans own.
Three Dog Night is in my top ten 70's groups. Lots of great songs!
Thanks girl you listening to the music of my childhood.
Momma Told Me 🎶 not to come! 🎶 She Saaaid, that Ain't the Way to have Fun! SON! 🎶😘 Love Your ADORABLE Reaction!
Country music also has a lot of comedy in songs: (1) Johnny Cash "A Boy Named Sue" live from San Quentin, (2) Charlie Daniel's "Uneasy Rider", (3) Hank Williams "My Bucket"s Got a Hole In It", (4) Jim Stafford "Wildwood Weed", (5) Roger Miller "King of the Road", (6) Jimmie Rodgers "In The Jailhouse Now",....
Michael Allsup...one of the most under-rated guitarists of the era...truly a great player.
Michael, is this you? Just kidding, yes, he is very good.
Another 70's banger..I was lucky to be a teenager then
THAT AIN'T THE WAY TO HAVE FUN...SON
Saw them in concert! Awesome!
“That ain’t the way to have fun, son.”
I saw them live in Harrisburg Pa , when I was in high school I think 1969 or 70. Great show.
Now dive on into the rabbitt hole with "One", "Just An Old Fashioned Love Song", Joy ToThe World"..............
I saw all the hair bands back in the day. Three Dog Night concert was one of the best I’d ever been to. (Well them and Deep Purple).
Angela, without doubt you have coolest reactions and also the heartfelt reactions by far!!😉😍
They always looked like they were having fun. My favorite song of theirs is Joy to the World. Excellent band.
"That ain't no way to have fun, son" is the other line you're looking for. Fun reaction. Thanks!
3 Dog night were some white guys with soul..loved thire voices. As far as the keyboard liick, That Fender Rhoades had one of the craziest tones i"ve ever heard on an electric piano. I knew you'd have fun with this song, Angela...check out more from them--all of thier tunes are great music!!

That ain't the way to have fun Soooooon (Son)
Love the guitar & keyboard work on this one. TGN were very talented
Have always loved this!! 👏😊🌹
Three Dog Night - “Never Been to Spain”. Awesome stuff.
Three Dog Night!!! A deep rabbit hole of hits. I didn't see them in concert until about 1988 when they doing fairs were admission was free once you were on the fair grounds. A friend and I took my 5 year daughter. When they played "Out In the Country" (AKA Before the breathing air is gone and the sun is just a bright spot in the night time.) everybody got their lighters out.

Never Been to Spain
Written by the unique Randy Newman. He wrote some quirky stuff - Short People Got no Reason - I Think It's Goin' To Rain Today - - - - just a couple.
Sail Away!
I played racquetball with Cory Wells, the lead singer, when he was touring and stopped into the Fitness club I was managing in Austin at the time.
When it was cold outside, people would have a dog sleep at the foot of their bed to keep their feet warm. If it was colder, still, they might have 2 dogs, so a 3 Dog Night is a very, very cold night. That's what the band's name relates to.
I also heard that "dog" referenced Drums, Organ, Guitar for this band.
With three lead singers Three Dog Night covered songs from a variety of artists and sounded close to many. They covered LEO Sayers, Randy Neumann and others. Eli's Coming is one of my favorites.
"That ain't the way to have fun"
One of my GOATS in the 70's growing up with this awesome group and having met them in person they signed my "Captured Live at the Fourm" LP individually on their own pics (see the cover) and I saw them in concert so many times I lost count. Loved them and miss them dearly. Thanks for the awesome memories of the decade of my youth! So many hits their funniest yet probably most honest hit songs was "Joy to the World" which rode the #1 Billboard spot for 6-weeks! Cheers!
It's *still* "The Fabulous Forum" in my mind.
Great reaction!!! Great song!!!
"That ain't the way to have fun, son!" Great tune.
Three dog night was awesome. Corey was amazing. RIP Corey 🙏🏻
So much fun! Angie, are you enjoying our childhood music? So much variety huh? Are you used to seeing men with long hair and the fashion. Best decade ever!
I LIVED THE 70s class Of 1970 dadrock DJ DALLAS 😎
Every night when I go to bed I see my brother's Three Dog Night "Seven Separate Fools" album up on the shelf. I remember it contained giant playing cards along with the record. Very cool!
They were comedians when they did live shows!!!!! Great group! Thank you for reacting to them!!!!
Biggest band in the world from 68-75! 21 top 40 records multiple number ones and a fantastic sound from a excellent band full of great musicians!!! hall of fame, should have been first ballot.
The poor last note! It never got a chance. Nice Hair! One of the best sheens I've ever seen. How many coconuts had to give their lives to cover all that area?
This is just pure fun, late 60's, you would've loved them
You can't go wrong with Three Dog Night! I'm middle-aged (64 yrs old) and I'm still listening to all the great music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s!!
Good reaction. ❤Love your hair. Beautiful..
Will you have whiskey with your water
Or sugar with your tea
What are these crazy questions
That they're asking of me
This is the craziest party
That there ever could be
Oh, don't turn on the light
'Cause I don't want to see
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun
Open up the window
Let some air into this room
I think I'm almost choking from
The smell of stale perfume
And that cigarette you're smoking
'Bout to scare me half to death
Open up the window sucka
Let me catch my breath
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, son
The radio is blasting,
Someone's beating on the door
I'm looking at my girlfriend
She's passed out on the floor
I seen so many things
I ain't never seen before
I don't know what it is
But I don't wanna see no more
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said, that ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun,
Mama told me, Mama told me, Mama told me
Told me, told me,
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son

A great 70s group (saw 'em in person, yes!) singing a unique and memorable classic !!!!
It was about a 1970 house party, you never knew what you were walking into !
Late 60 s
Great reaction to a classic song. This is the 2nd time I watched this. Thank you.
That is most certainly the way to have fun, son.
Thanks for letting the song play through before your comments. This song was written by Randy Newman, gotta Love New Orleanes
Three Dog Night "Eli's Coming" & "Out In The Country"
One of my favorite all time songs. I like heavy metal and classic rock. This song and music is so great. I love it! 💖
Loving this 70's series, my teenage years, so many memories, glad you are also experiencing them.
On a similar theme - feeling uncomfortable at a party where everyone's stoned - is "Stuck in the Middle With You" by Stealers Wheel
Love this song! Forever!!! My fav group!!! So much fun!!! Listen to”Eli’s Coming”!!! “One is the Loneliest Number”, “Old Fashioned Love Song”, “Shambala” tribute to the Movie: “Road to Shambala” 1970’s…
Saw them in concert in the early 70s. Fantastic concert. Still today one of the best concerts I’ve seen.
@Jeanne Jorgensen, Don't remind me, one of the strangest concerts that I've ever been
I was only 6 when this came out, but my oldest sister was 16 and had the 45 record. I feel so lucky she introduced my all the great music at an early age! Great reaction Angela.
Waaaay up north a three dog night is a really cold night because it takes three dogs to keep you warm!
Saw them live back in the day.every song a hit.awesome concert. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
"Black & White" sends a message we all desperately need these days.
Just An Old Fashion Love Song
This band is awesome! So many incredible songs like Joy to the World, One, Eli's Coming, Try A Little Tenderness, etc.. I think this song makes perfect sense...Lol! And that lyric you were not sure of: "That ain't the way to have fun... son..."
Yes 3 dog night. Old fashion love song and black and white are good.
The second part of the chorus after “mama told me not to come” is “that ain’t the way to have fun, son!”
Beautiful young lady.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
You've got the idea of this song. Good reaction.
He said, "Mama told me not to come, That ain't the way to have fun, son". In the song, he was saying that he DID go to the party, and was describing things that he saw, and realizing how right his mama was.

They never had a bad song Angie. Hit after hit. Well done .cheers
