The sugar...Well since I first heard JOY TO THE WORLD, as sung by Three Dog Night, I have absolutely loved it! The all-hang-out exuberance... ...and now I just learned that when Hoyt Axton wrote it, he first had "Jeremiah was a prophet," but no one liked that so he upscaled the lyrics to "Jeremiah was a bullfrog"...!
Two summers ago, I and all my relatives got to see 3 Dog Night live in concert. The kids liked the frog part. I had the opportunity to hold the door open as band members left the nearby hotel. I didn't realize who they were right away.
