Joy To The World - Three Dog Night - Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas

The big-screen version of Hunter S. Thompson's seminal psychedelic classic about his road trip across Western America as he and his large Samoan lawyer searched desperately for the "American dream"... they were helped in large part by the huge amount of drugs and alcohol kept in their convertible, The Red Shark. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• The song was written by country singer-songwriter Hoyt Axton, who also went on to write Three Dog Night’s hit “Never Been to Spain”. When Axton played the song to the group, the band rejected it, but Chuck Negron felt that the band needed to record a “silly song”, as he explained in the liner notes for Celebrate: The Three Dog Night Story, 1965-1975: "When I picked 'Joy' it had been turned down by everybody in the band. I thought we were so serious, that this band needed a silly song to again become a unit. If you notice, everyone in the band is singing, it’s not all this perfect harmony. There’s laughing and goofing around. And we became a band again through that song…I think that’s why the record was a hit…It wasn’t even close to our best record, but it might have been one of our most honest." "Joy To The World” came from Hoyt Axton, a country singer-songwriter from Oklahoma whose mother Mae had co-written “Heartbreak Hotel” for Elvis Presley in 1955. But Axton never got around to finishing writing “Joy To The World.” He had a melody, and he had a chorus, but he didn’t have any verses. Legend has it that Axton tried to use “Jeremiah was a prophet” as the opening line but that everyone immediately realized it sucked. So instead, Axton, trying to demonstrate the melody he’d written, just put in some nonsense placeholder lyrics: “Jeremiah was a bullfrog, was a good friend of mine.” Axton wanted to rewrite those lyrics, but before he did, Three Dog Night went ahead and recorded the song with Axton’s near-gibberish temporary words intact. The group didn't think much of this song when they recorded it, tacking it on to the album because they needed one more song to complete it. The song ended up being a massive hit and stayed six weeks at #1 on the US Hot 100. Lyrics: Jeremiah was a bullfrog Was a good friend of mine I never understood a single word he said But I helped him a-drink his wine And he always had some mighty fine wine Singin'... Joy to the world All the boys and girls now Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea Joy to you and me If I were the king of the world Tell you what I'd do I'd throw away the cars and the bars and the war Make sweet love to you Sing it now Joy to the world All the boys and girls Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea Joy to you and me You know I love the ladies Love to have my fun I'm a high life flyer and a rainbow rider A straight shootin' son-of-a-gun (Alright) I said a straight shootin' son-of-a-gun Joy to the world All the boys and girls Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea Joy to you and me Joy to the world All the boys and girls Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea Joy to you and me Joy to the world All the boys and girls Joy to the world Joy to you and me Joy to the world All the boys and girls now Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea Joy to you and me (Ah, yeah) Joy to the world (Yeah, yeah) All the boys and girls Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea Joy to you and me You know I mean Joy to the world (Yeah, yeah) All the boys and girls Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea Joy to you and me You know I mean Joy to the world All the boys and girls (Yeah, yeah) Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea Joy to you and me
