@@bartstarr100 Hoyt also wrote Joy To The World, and his Mama wrote Heartbreak Hotel for Elvis. I love Hoyt Axton versions better, just because I gravitate to the original artist more..
It seemed after the 1st line "Jeremiah was a bullfrog" Lex was all in, which if you know her should not have been surprising. This song has always been so catchy and fun, but Lex's smile and energy had me enjoying it more than I have in a long time.
When Hoyt Axton originally wrote the song, the 1st line was Jeremiah was a prophet. It got changed before this recording to give the song a lighter feel to it.
More Three Dog Night please! One, Never Been To Spain, Mama Told Me, Black and White, Try A Little Tenderness, Eli’s Coming, Easy To Be Hard. They had three lead vocalists Cory Wells, Danny Hutton and Chuck Negron. Try their live performances. Other reactors have and they don’t get blocked. Brad and Lex you two are hilarious together, keep up the great reactions! Janet from Louisiana ☮️🖤🤘
Jeremiah the Bullfrog is the real hero here. Clearly, we at least now know that frogs celebrate with wine. And don't mind sharing. LMAO. Such a great reaction.
Three Dog Night has a song called 'Black and White' that is about racism, and was inspired by a US Supreme Court ruling that segregation in public schools is illegal.
I'm really happy you've discovered this amazing band. One of the most popular bands in the late 60's to mid 70's with many uplifting songs with very positive and fun lyrics. A band you both can appreciate.
"Three Dog Night” The phrase is a rudimentary nightly temperature gauge. Dogs huddled with humans at night for the warmth. On really cold nights, three dogs were called into the bed to keep the owner from freezing to death.
I went through several sets of tires with all the mileage I racked up on my first car, just cruising and listening to THREE DOG NIGHT in my car stereo! They were a MASSIVE hit machine! Check out Shambala, Black & White and Old Fashioned Love Song by them as well! GREAT STUFF, BRAD & LEX!
Don't ask me why, but in my game room/man cave I've got a few 8 tracks displayed in a case I bought them at a yard sale nearly 40 years ago, one of them is Three Dog Night, Suitable For Framing
@@Smoky37830 dang it, well played.... That took me a couple beats longer than it should have. I read the list again, and thought ok, but which On...... Ohhhhh, I see
This was actually the number one song for the entire year 1971. Written by the great Hoyt Axton who also wrote "The Pusher" for Steppenwolf. He had a hilarious song called "Bpney Fingers" and a top 40 hit with "Della and the Dealer"
Lex, you are a Joy to behold. Love your energy and positivity. The early 70's was quite a special era of time. Three Dog Night, nailed it with this one; such a classic tune! If you don't tap your foot to this song, check for a pulse!
This song came out when I was about 7-8 years old and was probably the first song I knew the lyrics by heart. Every time I hear it, it reminds me of 1970-1971, and when every time it came on the car radio my three older sisters and I would sing it as loud as we could. Love this song 50 years later.
Michael, I can relate. I am a couple of years younger than you, but my I have three older siblings and the closet one is seven years. This song played a lot in my house when it was on the charts. Like you, I was able to remember most of the lyrics. It does have a lot of appeal for young children.
You'll love their Shambala, Never Been To Spain, Mama Told Me (Not To Come), Black And White, An Old Fashioned Love Song, One, and Eli’s Coming. They were a hit machine in a short amount of time!! Three lead singers and a tight band!!
I was 12 years old in 1971 when this song came out and it was played on AM radio almost constantly. And me and my friends loved it and just about everything they did.
One could transport Lex back to the late 60's to early 70's..No one would be able to tell she was from the future..That's how much she'd fit in and without a doubt gets the music from then ! Awesome Reaction !
Ah Cory. Danny and Chuck. One of my favorite groups. I have seen them in concert 4 times. Their songs Eli's Coming, Easy to be Hard and Celebrite are must song you need to listen to.
Always loved this one. I was dancing right along with Lex. Mama told me not to come is my other favorite Three Dog Night song. Their concerts in the 70s must have been a blast
"Joy to the World" was one of my favorite songs when I was a little kid back in the early 70's. Bullfrogs? Fishes? What more could a five year old boy want from a romp in the outdoors? Three Dog Night featured three great vocalists fronting a great rock-funk-soul band circa 1970. They ruled pop radio in the early seventies with over twenty top forty hits including three number ones. When you're ready for more from Three Dog Night, check out some of their other songs, "One", "Shambala", "Eli's Coming", "Easy to Be Hard", "Celebrate", "Mama Told Me (Not to Come)", "Out In The Country", "Never Been to Spain", "Try a Little Tenderness", "Ain't That A Lotta Love", "Out In The Country", and "Black & White" among others.
I got to see them play a concert with America and the Beach Boys in Dallas back in 1989. The beer was free so I don't remember a lot of the Beach Boys, but man what a party.
This song was HUGE (60 straight weeks at #1 on the Billboard chart in 1971). Nobody knew who the bullfrog was - other than his name - nor why he was in the song, but we all loved it. It just sounded good, and made you "joyful" :)
This song was such a hit, as a kid I sang it all the time, loved it then and now as an adult still love the happy feeling this what we great up too, happy songs and talent,the music then made you feel good , and songwriters sang of love and songs had meaning . We grew up with that good vibe of happiness and all the different songs showed different talent and it was always a thrill to hear the new sounds
In this episode of Brad & Lex, there's a little "duck quack" discussion presented by Brad after Lex presents a smiley "joyous rock hop bop" which challenges the laws of physics by molding Brad's usual signature "side to side sway" into a Lex infused "bop sway" via couch.
I have heard this so many times when younger and I got sick of it at one point, but it is truly joyous and it's funny and it's an easy sing along so it's very inviting to anyone listening to feel a part of it. Once again, a fantastic react. Love you guys. ❤❤❤
Only Lex could think of using that song to calm a prison riot. And Brad point out how music can change the mood of a situation. Freaking genius 😆 Check out the live video of three dog performing "Eli's Coming". That'll really take you to church.
I was in a delivery truck and was stopped at an intersection. On one side was a church group and other traffic. This came on and I turned it up. The whole church group started singing the song and people stuck in traffic. For a couple minutes we were all one people.
My aunt (who was 80 yrs old when she passed) loved this song & wanted it sung at her funeral. So....yes we did! Everyone sang it! I think of her every time I hear it now.
Love Three dog night. I remember being about 4 or 5, out in the backyard on the swing set, I can still smell the honeysuckle that surrounded the yard, mama was hanging clothes on the line and I was singing this song as loud as I could. That was nearly 50 years ago but it feels like it was just yesterday.
First time I heard that was at my grandparents' house when I was a little kid. Two of my uncles were still teenagers living at home, and they had that song on a 45, and they played it, and it completely amazed toddler me, and everytime I hear it I think about that.
The 70s, in Australia the aborigines determine how cold the night is by how many dogs they need for warm. So a one dog night is cool, two dog night is cold, and a three dog night is really cold. Heard that story from Casey Casum's top 40.
One freezing night I bought my bull mastiff in to bed to warm it up. It was warm but not restful, she braced her paws on the wall and spent the night trying to push me out. Their dogs must be better behaved.
Three Dog Night was HUGE in the 70s! "Joy to the World" "One" "Celebrate" "Easy to Be Hard" "Try a Little Tenderness" "One Man Band" "Out in the Country" "Mama Told Me Not to Come" "Just an Old Fashioned Love Song" "Black and White" "Eli's Coming" "Never Been to Spain" "Liar" "The Show Must Go On" "Shambala"
I remember when 8 track players came out with fast forward. It meant I could get back around to my favorite Three Dog Night or CCR song way faster. I was elated! Yes i'm that old, lol.
Around 5 years ago, I arrived EARLY to get seats for my family & nephews at Christmas kids-choir & mass. After the kids sang, they announced the entrance song "Joy to the Word". And a VERY happy and LOUD 4 year old kid yelled out "I KNOW THIS ONE- "Gegimigga was a bullfrog!!" -The Choir DIDN'T sing Three Dog Night THEN, BUT after the service, they DID get the little kids to sing a few verses "Joy to the World, to ALL the boys and girls, Joy to the Fishes in the Deep Blue Sea, Joy to You and Me."
About a year after this came out - was on a school bus on a 6th grade field trip - this song came on the radio and the whole bus sang along including the teachers and the bus driver, It was a blast.
Ok , I've been watching all of your reactions and I've come to the conclusion that I want Lex to come front my band. I don't care if you can sing or not , I just want your joy and energy on my stage !
Very popular successful group from maybe 68 to the mid 70s. What made this group different was they had 3 great singers. Alternated singing duties. My favorites were Eli's Coming, Easy to be Hard, Shambala. They had many more hits also
I have seen 3 Dog. Many times since late 60s into the 70s as every year they played U.P.S. Fieldhouse in Tacoma , Washington . Another yearly band you'd love is SHA NA NA. a kinds do op. group , entertaining as hell.
So many of the songs you react to are songs that were popular when I was a teenager. I get so much pleasure at a watching lex enjoy the songs so much. You guys are great!
Three Dog Night has a lot of hits and was on the radio all the time when I was a kid. Funny how you mention using songs for an alarm... I use "Open Our Eyes" by Earth Wind and Fire and it never gets old!
This song and another Three Dog Night hit, Never Been to Spain, were written by Hoyt Axton. He was an Oklahoma boy. Just FYI. He was also the Dad in Gremlins.
I did a Warrior Dash one time where, when my relay was at the starting line awaiting their turn, the DJ played this song. It was so funny because half the runners immediately broke out singing and dancing to it and the other half just stood there looking confused. And it was pretty obvious that the singer/dancer half were the elders.
Three Dog Night is a band from my youth... always upbeat and fun. They had 3 lead singers, that's part of the name. You need to check out "One" and "Mamma told me not to come".
Loved this song since it came out! A funny story with this song that I can remember was I was 9 and my grandma taught Sunday School at our church and as she was asking us about different people in the bible she asked us who was Jeremiah to which a young boy in the room shouted out He was a Bullfrog,of course my grandma didn`t know what to think,I can still see her expression,lol..Love me some Three Dog Night,more please..Keep On Rockin'
Believe I was 14 when this hit the 📻. Loved it then and now. A mood lifter. Almost caught them in Williamsport, Pa. They were 2 hrs. Late. Music was bouncing off the houses. People were letting you in an open space in the fence. Ions ago!
This was the first song my mom ever taught me to sing. I turned around and and taught it to my daughter and eventually my granddaughter. It's just a great fun hippie lovin song. It's hard to be in a bad mood listening to this that's for sure!
Part of the wallpaper of my youth, a great time for music. The name "Three Dog Night" supposedly refers to a phrase meaning a night so cold that you needed to sleep with three dogs. P.S. It's not a Christmas song cover, but an original, fun/nonsense song.
Chuck Negron was on the Stern show once and told a story about touring the US during Three Dog Night’s hey day and how many many groupies he had and he developed a blood blister on his Johnson and at one concert he hooked up with Miss Oklahoma and the blister burst and he went to the doctor and he was traumatized because he had no idea if he’d ever be able to use his Johnson again or if he was going to get stitches and the doctor said this happens all the time! 😂
The contrast in the reactions is absolutely hilarious! I’m not sure if anyone could be more stoic than Brad here (and how is it even possible to be stoic to this song, lol?!), while Lex is FEELING it and GROOV’N to this song with all the JOYOUS ABANDON the band could ever have hoped for! She is absolutely adorable! Love her reaction. I’m not anywhere nearly as demonstrative as Lex - but she captures the spirit of how I feel inside EVERY time time I hear this song - going back 50 years!! 🎶🌎🌸🐠🕺🥰
I was a stagehand for these guys. One of my jobs was to tape print-outs of the lyrics to their set list to the deck. Chuck had gotten so bad with the drugs and alcohol that now he can't even remember the words to the songs that he made famous. He survived all that, got clean and whatnot, but his brain just never was the same afterward.
Lex's suggestion on using the song to quell a prison riot has led to my favorite Brad reaction of all time: the visual "take" directly to the camera would've made Johnny Carson proud.
Lol...Lex and her giggle are so refreshing! Even Brad had a grin on his face during this one. But if you want a prison song, try War and "Slipping Into Darkness". You will know them from other songs such as "War" and "Lowrider". They have a pretty good catalog!
Three Dog Night was a hit making machine out of the 70's.... You can't NOT include "Jeremiah had a Bullfrog" in an all-time intro lyric list!! Such good grooves!!
This song was made during a simpler time and was uplifting and happy. The young woman seemed to appreciate it more. I am happy to say that I have seen this band play live.
ANY LIVE show of THREE DOG NIGHT is a treat to watch. Long before Midnight Special or MTV, any music prior to 1980 is only for a TV guest appearance or special event that was recorded
Three Dog Night is a seven member group with 3 lead singers. All took the lead depending on the song, Danny Hutton, Chuck Negron, and Corey Wells (rip). I love watching their live performances. TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS (Otis Redding) 1960'S version is my favorite.
One of the best intros to a song!!!! Brad the stoic thinker and Lex the Wilding vibing one. But yes Brad there is a church vibe to it (as is a lot of songs in my opinion)
Three Dog Night has got A SOUND, man!
"Never Been to Spain", "Shambala", "Black and White", "Sure as I'm Sittin' Here" are all incredible.
Hoyt Axton also wrote "Never Been to Spain"
@@bartstarr100 Hoyt also wrote Joy To The World, and his Mama wrote Heartbreak Hotel for Elvis. I love Hoyt Axton versions better, just because I gravitate to the original artist more..
... and Eli's Coming.
Don't forget "Play something sweet (brickyard blues)"
It seemed after the 1st line "Jeremiah was a bullfrog" Lex was all in, which if you know her should not have been surprising. This song has always been so catchy and fun, but Lex's smile and energy had me enjoying it more than I have in a long time.
It's a line so strange and catchy, most people mistake it for the title. It's got that high-level memeosity. ;)
When Hoyt Axton originally wrote the song, the 1st line was Jeremiah was a prophet. It got changed before this recording to give the song a lighter feel to it.
@@chrisjamieson3452 it worked. :p
@@radicaladz Yes it did.
Lex is a Gem . Absolutely loved her reaction .

Don’t forget Old Fashioned Love Song
Don't forget Out in the country!
One Man Band, Heaven Is In Your Mind, Celebrate
Gotta be the live version of “Try A Little Tenderness”.
All that!
There was a time in the seventies when three out of every ten songs on the radio were Three Dog Night songs.
Isn't that the truth. I was pretty young in the 70's but I remember the guys down the street always listening to Three Dog Night.
Ohhh, I remember that time well.
I get paid to smoke weed on my TH-cam channel 😈💯
I remember so many times packed in a car singing Shambala with friends. Like you said, it didn't take long to come around on the radio. lol
70 to 74. Guess who. Ccr. Allman brothers.
Jeremiah the Bullfrog is the real hero here. Clearly, we at least now know that frogs celebrate with wine. And don't mind sharing. LMAO. Such a great reaction.
And he doesn’t mind spending money on the finer wines, either! 😂
I know. All anybody has to do is say Jeremiah was a bullfrog, and I start smiling and the joy comes.
#1 song written by Hoyt Axton. His mother, Mae Axton, wrote the #1 song "Heartbreak Hotel" for Elvis, the only mother/son duo to have #1 hits.
He also wrote their hit Never Been to Spain. Three Dog Night were huge fans of his.
Should have read your comment before posting mine . . . sorry to step on your post.
And wasn't that Hoyt who was in Gremlins, as the inventer?
I love Hoyt Axton. Damn good singer and guitar player to boot.
@@brianforce3010 He was in Gremlins, but I don't know what role he played.
Three Dog Night has a song called 'Black and White' that is about racism, and was inspired by a US Supreme Court ruling that segregation in public schools is illegal.
And wonderful piano work. What a great song, lyrically and musically.
Lex is just so adorable when she's in her happy music mode!
I'm really happy you've discovered this amazing band. One of the most popular bands in the late 60's to mid 70's with many uplifting songs with very positive and fun lyrics. A band you both can appreciate.
Three Dog Night _owned_ the radio in the 70s. Watch a live video of them performing "Shambala" or "Eli's Coming" and groove with us!
My fav TDN song was never been to Spain.... they had some great harmonies going on when they recorded it! But all TDN songs are great!
They owned the radio also in the late 60s to
"Three Dog Night”
The phrase is a rudimentary nightly temperature gauge. Dogs huddled with humans at night for the warmth. On really cold nights, three dogs were called into the bed to keep the owner from freezing to death.
I went through several sets of tires with all the mileage I racked up on my first car, just cruising and listening to THREE DOG NIGHT in my car stereo! They were a MASSIVE hit machine! Check out Shambala, Black & White and Old Fashioned Love Song by them as well! GREAT STUFF, BRAD & LEX!
A true classic good ole' American rock n' roll band. One of the best ever.
Don't ask me why, but in my game room/man cave I've got a few 8 tracks displayed in a case I bought them at a yard sale nearly 40 years ago, one of them is Three Dog Night, Suitable For Framing
You forgot One. 😁
@@Smoky37830 dang it, well played.... That took me a couple beats longer than it should have. I read the list again, and thought ok, but which On...... Ohhhhh, I see
I hope the fishes have holidays, they spend enough time in school 😉
ok dad
"Out In The Country" is one of my favorite Three Dog Night songs. What a great song that is.
This was actually the number one song for the entire year 1971.
Written by the great Hoyt Axton who also wrote "The Pusher" for Steppenwolf.
He had a hilarious song called "Bpney Fingers" and a top 40 hit with "Della and the Dealer"
Just watching Lex groove out should bring Joy to the World!!!!
Three Dog Night have a lot of great songs.
Lex, you are a Joy to behold. Love your energy and positivity. The early 70's was quite a special era of time. Three Dog Night, nailed it with this one; such a classic tune! If you don't tap your foot to this song, check for a pulse!

Good song suggestions but i doubt that these kids are going to dive into more 3 Dog Night
Elvis does an awesome rendition of Never Been to Spain live
I was 12 years old in 1971 when this song came out and it was played on AM radio almost constantly. And me and my friends loved it and just about everything they did.
One of the great feel good songs of the early 70’s. It’s been used over and over in TV commercials and movies!!
One could transport Lex back to the late 60's to early 70's..No one would be able to tell she was from the future..That's how much she'd fit in and without a doubt gets the music from then ! Awesome Reaction !
We performed this in my elementary school choir back in like 1974. Every kid I knew LOVED TDN. They're amazing
Huge #1 hit. they ruled radio for about 5 years with many top 40 hits...
This was my favorite song when I was around 4 years old. This and (I can see clearly now) by Johnny Nash. The early 70's were magic for a little kid.
Me too! My first album : )
the juke box ate all my dimes and quarters because of this band.
Ah Cory. Danny and Chuck. One of my favorite groups. I have seen them in concert 4 times. Their songs Eli's Coming, Easy to be Hard and Celebrite are must song you need to listen to.
Always loved this one. I was dancing right along with Lex. Mama told me not to come is my other favorite Three Dog Night song. Their concerts in the 70s must have been a blast
Three Dog Night was a massive group in the early to mid 70s. Plenty of top 100 hits every year.
I have had the beginning of this song sung at me for decades when I am introduced to new people!
That song brings back so many memories. 3 Dog Night was a huge band back in the sixties. Check out "one" by them.
"Joy to the World" was one of my favorite songs when I was a little kid back in the early 70's. Bullfrogs? Fishes? What more could a five year old boy want from a romp in the outdoors? Three Dog Night featured three great vocalists fronting a great rock-funk-soul band circa 1970.

60 weeks on the chart? Maybe. At #1? No.
@@Kaddywompous It was actually SIX weeks at #1. Pretty sure it was the #1 song for 1971. It even cracked the R & B charts.

Was a big crossover song, everyone loved it.
Joy to The World was written by actor and musician Hoyt Axton. He played the dad in the movie "Gremlins", if you have seen that.
I have heard this so many times when younger and I got sick of it at one point, but it is truly joyous and it's funny and it's an easy sing along so it's very inviting to anyone listening to feel a part of it. Once again, a fantastic react. Love you guys. ❤❤❤
This was the song of the year in 1971. Believe me, you heard it on the radio almost as much as you would if you had it on your alarm clock.
Only Lex could think of using that song to calm a prison riot. And Brad point out how music can change the mood of a situation.
Freaking genius 😆
Check out the live video of three dog performing "Eli's Coming". That'll really take you to church.
I was in a delivery truck and was stopped at an intersection. On one side was a church group and other traffic. This came on and I turned it up. The whole church group started singing the song and people stuck in traffic. For a couple minutes we were all one people.
I don't hear good songs like this anymore. Simple yet catchy. Makes you feel good and you're among friends.
My aunt (who was 80 yrs old when she passed) loved this song & wanted it sung at her funeral. So....yes we did! Everyone sang it! I think of her every time I hear it now.
This was all over the radio back in the day!

Believe I was 14 when this hit the 📻. Loved it then and now. A mood lifter. Almost caught them in Williamsport, Pa. They were 2 hrs. Late. Music was bouncing off the houses. People were letting you in an open space in the fence. Ions ago!
This was the first song my mom ever taught me to sing. I turned around and and taught it to my daughter and eventually my granddaughter. It's just a great fun hippie lovin song. It's hard to be in a bad mood listening to this that's for sure!
Lex almost bounced into outer space with this one, and who could blame her
Brad caught the vibe for real this time
Part of the wallpaper of my youth, a great time for music. The name "Three Dog Night" supposedly refers to a phrase meaning a night so cold that you needed to sleep with three dogs. P.S. It's not a Christmas song cover, but an original, fun/nonsense song.
I love this song and I loved it even more watching Lex's reaction. She was totally into it from the start of the song.
This was one of my dad's favorite songs. It's just a great song.
Chuck Negron was on the Stern show once and told a story about touring the US during Three Dog Night’s hey day and how many many groupies he had and he developed a blood blister on his Johnson and at one concert he hooked up with Miss Oklahoma and the blister burst and he went to the doctor and he was traumatized because he had no idea if he’d ever be able to use his Johnson again or if he was going to get stitches and the doctor said this happens all the time! 😂
The contrast in the reactions is absolutely hilarious! I’m not sure if anyone could be more stoic than Brad here (and how is it even possible to be stoic to this song, lol?!), while Lex is FEELING it and GROOV’N to this song with all the JOYOUS ABANDON the band could ever have hoped for! She is absolutely adorable! Love her reaction. I’m not anywhere nearly as demonstrative as Lex - but she captures the spirit of how I feel inside EVERY time time I hear this song - going back 50 years!! 🎶🌎🌸🐠🕺🥰
This song made me feel so happy 50 years ago, and it still does now. Thanks for the memories and the reaction! Love that funky, happy sound.
I just absolutely love y’all’s channel. You’re both a delight to watch and hear. And you both are kind folks. 🎶💕🎶
I was a stagehand for these guys. One of my jobs was to tape print-outs of the lyrics to their set list to the deck. Chuck had gotten so bad with the drugs and alcohol that now he can't even remember the words to the songs that he made famous. He survived all that, got clean and whatnot, but his brain just never was the same afterward.
3:11 Totally Feeling It!! 😁 Love your reactions guys ❤
Lex! You always make me smile. Love you guys. I have myself on cassette tape singing this when I was 3. I’m now 53.
Lex's suggestion on using the song to quell a prison riot has led to my favorite Brad reaction of all time: the visual "take" directly to the camera would've made Johnny Carson proud.
Thank you! I missed Brad's nonverbal reaction as I was reading the comments. I read your comment and went back. Hilariously perfect.
Lol...Lex and her giggle are so refreshing! Even Brad had a grin on his face during this one. But if you want a prison song, try War and "Slipping Into Darkness". You will know them from other songs such as "War" and "Lowrider". They have a pretty good catalog!
Lex is always happy. A good spirit
Three Dog Night was a hit making machine out of the 70's.... You can't NOT include "Jeremiah had a Bullfrog" in an all-time intro lyric list!! Such good grooves!!
This song was made during a simpler time and was uplifting and happy. The young woman seemed to appreciate it more. I am happy to say that I have seen this band play live.
ANY LIVE show of THREE DOG NIGHT is a treat to watch. Long before Midnight Special or MTV, any music prior to 1980 is only for a TV guest appearance or special event that was recorded
I love how Lex is bouncing Brad on on the couch and he got that serious look on his face. I'm cracking up😂
This band is another rabbit hole with many, many GREAT songs...Thx Guys!
I've not heard this since it was played during the live band's interval at our wedding in December 1970. Thankyou so much!
Another great classic from the 70s!!!
One of the great vocal groups, you should check out more of thier stuff.
I love how Lex gets so into this old School music. Oh the good ole days!
Three Dog Night is a seven member group with 3 lead singers. All took the lead depending on the song, Danny Hutton, Chuck Negron, and Corey Wells (rip). I love watching their live performances. TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS (Otis Redding) 1960'S version is my favorite.
It's a pretty cold night when you need 3 dogs to keep warm!!! 😃
One of the best intros to a song!!!!
Brad the stoic thinker and Lex the Wilding vibing one.
But yes Brad there is a church vibe to it (as is a lot of songs in my opinion)
You just know it's a good song when Brad is smiling, even before we get to the chorus!
So many great songs by this group
Love lexx's reaction!!!!! Best one ever! Been a fan of 3 dog night , since this came out in the 70's !
