2. I like this one better.
My father was a huge fan of Three Dog Night, and I still like them even though i listen to stuff like black metal and punk. It's always stuck with me, and I still listen to this song at least once or twice a week.

I also still like Neil Diamond because of my dad, but don't tell anyone. :)

6. TDN discography

Elton John credits their cover of "Your Song" with being a major factor in catapulting him to stardom.

13. Three Dog Night takes me back to high school.
One of my favorites of theirs was "Out In The Country." But I loved (and still love) everything they did.

8. Wait a second.
Why do I have this memory of the teachers making us sing this song when I was in 1st grade at a private christian school?

12. One of the boys in our neighborhood is named Jeremiah
Edited on Tue Dec-02-08 11:27 AM by NewJeffCT
My 5 year old daughter came in one day a while back and told me that she had played with Jeremiah... so, I asked her if Jeremiah was a bullfrog.

and my response was, "He's not a bullfrog daddy, he's a boy."

But, I found the song on youtube for her and now she knows it.

15. A very happy memory associated with this song...
When I was a little girl, I loved that song, tho' I didn't really know what it was about. Anyway, one night, my parents and I were at a restaurant, and there was a band playing in the bar section. I must have said that I wanted them to play "Jeremiah Was A Bulfrog" (my name for it), because I remember my dad giving me some money and then holding me up so I could hand it to the singer and ask him to play that song. I thought it was the coolest thing ever when they played it.

Many years later at my wedding, I had the DJ play "Joy to the World" and my dad and I danced to it. I will forever associate that song with my dad. :)
