"An Old Fashioned Love Song", "One", "Easy To Be Hard", "Celebrate", "Black And White", "Never Been To Spain", "One Man Band", "Pieces of April" and "Shambala" are all bangers by this group that are worth checking out.
OMG, Van! This band is 1 of the top pop bands of ALL TIME! Their name, "Three Dog Night", comes from the Eskimo custom of bringing 3 sled dogs to sleep with them in their igloos on extremely cold nights. You simply MUST react to "Joy to the World" - NOT the Christmas carol, but their signature song. A couple of other good ones:. "Black & White", which is about JUST what it sounds like, & "Never Been to Spain", which is as funky as a bunch of pop musicians can get. Love your insights, sir! Thank you.
I always really liked this song, even when I was a teenager back in 1970. It's so funny! Also, it has a good message, which is, pay attention to what Mama says!
Why does this song mean something to everyone who hears it? Because every young person who's ever gone to a party, and mama said not to go,can relate. It's one of those great songs that everyone can understand on a personal level.
When I was on fourth grade, mom got me a casette player for Christmas with a casette of Three Dog Night Greatest Hits. This was one of the songs on the cassette. They have so many great songs!
Enjoyed this live version of this great song. This band had a lot of energy. They had 3 guys with great voices that could all sing lead vocals. Hope you check out some more of their music. Some other great songs are "One", "Just An Old fashioned Love Song", Eli's Coming", Shambala" & "Joy To The World".
Three Dog Night was a favorite of a LOT of Jr. High and High School kids back in the day. Most of their fan base had HEARD of parties where there was alcohol and drugs available. But the wildest parties most of us had gone to only had maybe a 6 pack of beer that someone had snuck in. This was just a real fun song about what we all thought we were missing out on. TDN had a lot of really great songs. One of my favorites of theirs is " Never Been to Spain". I enjoy watching your reaction videos. I look forward to seeing more!
Peace, love and respect to you brother. These guys sing a song called "Never been to Spain" that I used to listen to with my dad. We lived about 50 miles outside OKC out in the country and that song would play when we were driving home.
This was the first 45 rpm I bought as a preteen, good song. Everyone was looking for escape at that time, Nixon and Vietnam, and the Kent State killings, Jackson State killings had all of the American young people worried about the future and if there was going to be one. Manson trials were happening and that shit was crazy, Watergate was happening, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin passed and the Beatles broke up. 1970 was a difficult year for all.
No matter what generation you from, the music hangs on memories. Because as you go forward with life, you go with new clothes, new ideas, new everything, You forgot about yester year, All of a sudden, you hear a song and the clothes, places, people, feelings repeat itself. You get to be there again for a nanosecond. From a 73 year old lady from Ocean City, NJ, what could be better. Another 20 years and you be in my place---remembering. Thanks for the memories!
This band is very special to me. My dad loved them when I was little and we listened to them frequently. I had the opportunity to take him to a concert of theirs a few years back. That is always a memory I will have even after he is no longer here with me. 💜
Another fave group of mine! With three lead singers the music was varied. I saw them in concert and a little known group called Aerosmith was the opening act! Thank you for this reaction💖
“Shambala” by them is on almost every one of my playlists. I have never been to an “adult” party if that tells you anything about my dull life, probably because of “Mama Told Me (Not To Come)”….as a little girl it sounded like a horrible party lol
There was an episode of Buck Rogers where he walks into his place. He basically asks Siri to play some music. On comes what the show creaters thought futuristic music would sound like. Lots of synth as I remember. Buck says no, no, no.......play some of my music and on comes Shambala.... Loved it
1972 driving from SE Texas to California. Dad drove late into the night somewhere in West Texas or New Mexico. Every time we got close to a town mom would try to pickup another AM station. Shambala was playing on near every station that night. Vivid memory.
@@russellgil8232 that’s so cool!! And such a sweet memory with a great song. I’m an ‘89 “old soul baby” but it seems like it was a lifetime ago that Shambala came out, but it really wasn’t. I hope you still enjoyed it every time or did it get annoying after a while? Some listeners can’t listen to them like that and still get enjoyment from them. There’s usually a response of: “Not again!!” Or “Seriously?!? Again??”. 😂
1970s music...GOAT decade with the best musicians, singers, songwriters...CASE CLOSED! Three Dog Night easily one of the GOAT groups ever, still kickin' today!
These guys had more feel good, positive, love your fellow man kinda songs than any of the hippie-era bands. Songs like "An Old Fashioned Love Song", "Shambala", "Joy to the World", "Never Been To Spain", "Black And White", Eli's Coming", "The Show Must Go On", and "One".
If it's cold outside you might have a dog sleep at the foot of your bed. If it's even colder, you may have two dogs at your feet. But a three dog night means it's really f'-in cold!
The lead on this song was the late, great Corey Wells. I loved this band. Someone else mentioned they were a hit machine and it's so true. You might enjoy Eli's Coming (live version). So many good songs, but my favorite might be Never Been to Spain.
This was my very first concert in 1973! My Dad said I was too young to go by myself so he bought 2 tickets & went with me!! It was a great show ♥️ They were a huge band in the 70’s. So many great hits & the 3 part harmonies are awesome. Any song by them is good. I would love to see you react to an early one they did from 1968, “Try a Little Tenderness” It’s in B&W but it’s live. It’s so good 😊
That song was on regular AM radio. Never heard any FM Radio in our area til later. In an era of Anti-American, Anti-war, protests of every sort from ecology to love thy neighbor, this song was just one to laugh at. "Cover of the Rolling Stone" by Dr. Hook was another like that.
This is another band I adore because I'd sneak the tape out of my father's cassette rack and listen to the album laying on the carpet of my childhood home... try their song Eli's Coming. Then listen to Laura Nyro's original version.
Three Dog Night -- some nights in Australia are so cold you have to let three dogs in your sleeping bag. They were a radio hit machine. In these one, we were all doing things Mama told us not to.
Three Dog Night was my first concert. I was 12 or 13 and traveled with my aunt from Oklahoma to Wisconsin. It was 1988 and they were playing at an event called Riverfest. It was so fun. Joy to the World was my favorite song. So Three Dog Night will always hold a special place in my heart because of that trip. Sadly my aunt was killed in a car accident in 2007.
it is moms garage band literally they rehearsed in her garage when she was in college and or working for capitol records i forget the time frame its pre they stop a concert to sing her happy birthday at some point rip mom
I love it because my mom and dad used to play it on the 8-track in the Chevy van... the one with the carpet, paneling, and curtains and beads... and we all sang along at the top of our lungs! Good times!!!
You should really listen to the studio version before judging this song, sounds much better. It was a huge hit & a great party song. But they're always fun to watch live. They were one of the biggest selling bands of the 70's with a long string of hits. A band with 3 great singers that switched up who sang lead. That's the late, great Cory Wells singing lead on this one, wonderful bluesy soulful voice. "Never Been to Spain"..."Black & White"..."Shambala".."One"..."Easy To Be Hard"...can't go wrong with any of those.💙☮💙
Don't let one song by this group letcha down man. They were a huge band in the 60s and 70s. They have a huge amount of hits. Still loving them, 60 sum yrs later...peace out man....next time try black and white, never been to spain, etc... Love you.
One of those bouncy summer time rock out in the car songs, you can sing along badly with a few friends and still sound cool. You got it by the end, it's just fun.
Brother... this band had 21 consecutive top 40 hits and 12 consecutive Gold Albums. Let that sink in. One of the biggest bands in the world from "69 to '80. Happy Holidays to you and your fam!
He's talking about his experiences at a party that were a little above & beyond or maybe below what he was used to or expecting This song ; the primal version not this one came out in I believe either 1969 or 70 back in the day when it wasn't common to party like that for the average kid hence the warning the person jn the song didn't heed : Mama TOLD me not to come bc that ain't the way to have fun.I was eleven or twelve when this song came out & was having similar experiences
A 1970 cover by The Jackson 5 was released on Come and Get It: The Rare Pearls. The recording of the song by Tom Jones and Stereophonics was released as a single on March 6, 2000, and reached No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart, No. 7 in Iceland, No. 11 in Ireland and No. 45 in New Zealand. This version was produced by Steve Bush and Marshall Bird (also known as "Bird & Bush"). Singer Kelly Jones (no relation) shared the lead vocals with Jones. The video featured an appearance by Welsh actor Rhys Ifans.
I still love this song...it's my all time favorite song of all songs. No reason...well I love Cory's voice, I love the beat, the instruments, didn't even know who sang it when I fell In love with it. Three Dog Night then became my all time favorite band!
I love this song because it reminds me of being like 6/7 years old and thinking the song was funny; didn't quite get all the lyrics (I would picture a smoky room but thought it was from too many cigarettes, lol); it takes me to an innocent time for myself, and wondering why he went to the party when his Mother told him not to go. My parents had this album and it brings me back to our apartment in the Bronx. You are killing it, Van!
I have loved this song since 1970!! Three Dog Night was one of the first rock and roll bands I was introduced to!! Still listen to them!! Thanks for taking me down memory lane today!!!!
This song brings back many fond memories of my childhood… When I was growing up in Virginia Beach cruising around in my sister 62 convertible Corvair listening to this on her 8 Track😂🤣
When I first heard it I was 16 and had never been to a party, except birthday parties. The song was mysterious and enticing. I remembered it whenever I went to a party in the (wonderful) future
"Mama Told Me Not to Come", also written as "Mama Told Me (Not to Come)", is a song by American singer-songwriter Randy Newman written for Eric Burdon's (The Animals lead singer) first solo album in 1966.
My Dad was a big 3 Dog Night fan! I remember seeing his albums when I was a kid and wondering who the he’ll they were? He passed away at 29 in a car wreck 39 yrs ago today! Pretty cool that you did this reaction now.
Still love it! It's part of our great 70s music! I love the video too because it brings me back seeing the clothes they are wearing...... Bell bottoms, high heel shoes, big collars, fancy shirts.
I want to check out some of your older stuff. So I am here. So I just always liked 3 Dog Night. Their harmonies and arrangements are top notch. They did mostly covers, but made the songs better. I started listening to them when I was about 9 or 10 yrs old. Yes, I'm old AF.
I love TDN for the harmonies. I'm 76 so I've been listening to them for a long time. Seen them in Rockingham. NC back in the early 70s where they had a routine fot every song. They were opining for Alice Cooper.
such a great soulful group. If you listen to the studio version, you may appreciate it a little more. Each one of these singers is amazing. Listen to Easy To Be Hard, SHambala, Eli's COming, Black and White....so many and so good
I was Jimmy Greenspoon’s neighbor in Arizona before he died. He was actually a good family friend and before that, the keyboard player for Three Dog Night.
Three Dog Night was the first concert I ever saw. I was 12 or 13 and visiting some relatives in Wisconsin with my aunt. They were having a music festival in the small town where my relatives lived. Three Dog Night and Juice Newton were the headliners. That was in 1987 or 1988.
Three Dog Night was my first concert in '72. Coming of age in the early to mid 70's. I remember many a smoke filled room, stealing a kiss. It was a great time to grow up, they have a great song catalog that you need to explore.
Three Dog Night was super popular just a few years before I came around, but I grew up listening to the music of this era because my parents did (they were young parents). My favorite is “Shambala”. “Joy to the World” is good too. My mom tells me stories of my brother who is 5 years older than me loving that and shouting in his toddler voice “Jeremiah was a bullfrog…” 😂. Wish they had that on tape somewhere! Lol
I’m one of those ladies that usually followed my mama’s instructions- not so easy in the sixties!!! Anyway this song proves she was right! I did love the music and the dancing and still do today.
What’s going on GANG!!!? What’s new? Ready for Gift’mas?
I remember asking my dad what was I getting for Christmas. He told me it wasn't my birthday, it's Jesus birthday. What are you getting him? Huh!?
Sugar in your tea …LSD sugar cubes
Stale perfume….weed
Just saying 😂
They were doing more than drinking and smoking reefer at that party. Sugar in your tea ain't sweet tea.
Cause my mama told me about these party's. I went anyway 😎
"An Old Fashioned Love Song", "One", "Easy To Be Hard", "Celebrate", "Black And White", "Never Been To Spain", "One Man Band", "Pieces of April" and "Shambala" are all bangers by this group that are worth checking out.
I’m glad you mentioned Pieces of April ❤️
On point!!
These!
I like your list, but I have to add “Eli’s Coming”.
@@randyhochstein8455 And this!

Yet not in the Hall of Fame 😮
Been to a few of those parties back in the day. Always got a chuckle from this song. Now my teenage grandsons love it.
They had such a big sound with this band! They always were packed and the feel was good. Joy To The World! Or Never Been To Spain! ❤
I always really liked this song, even when I was a teenager back in 1970. It's so funny! Also, it has a good message, which is, pay attention to what Mama says!
Why does this song mean something to everyone who hears it? Because every young person who's ever gone to a party, and mama said not to go,can relate. It's one of those great songs that everyone can understand on a personal level.
Listen to joy to the world by this group.
Just the memories of 70’s music. And I’ve been to those parties!
Oh Man! I grew up with Three Dog Night, some of my earliest musical memories!
cool that you stumbled across them!
When I was on fourth grade, mom got me a casette player for Christmas with a casette of Three Dog Night Greatest Hits. This was one of the songs on the cassette. They have so many great songs!
Three Dog Night was a rocking band in the 70s. 3 Lead singers having fun
This was a great jam in the 70's. It was similar to a lot of parties back then.
Enjoyed this live version of this great song. This band had a lot of energy. They had 3 guys with great voices that could all sing lead vocals. Hope you check out some more of their music. Some other great songs are "One", "Just An Old fashioned Love Song", Eli's Coming", Shambala" & "Joy To The World".
♥ Every time I hear this song my memory is triggered and I'm brought back to my last night as a civilian on a cold January night in 1970. ♥ ☺
Me too brother and thank you for your service 🐕🦺
This was another group that was underrated
don't know where you got the idea that they were underrated...
They were never underrated.

I'm 61 and that was perfect! Well said.
The beat, the catchy tune, the humor, the good looking young men, the clever musical arrangement. What’s not to like!
Peace, love and respect to you brother. These guys sing a song called "Never been to Spain" that I used to listen to with my dad. We lived about 50 miles outside OKC out in the country and that song would play when we were driving home.
And we always cheered!!!😂

When I first became old enough to start really listening to the radio in the mid 60’s, Three Dog Night was my favorite band by far.
1970s music...GOAT decade with the best musicians, singers, songwriters...CASE CLOSED! Three Dog Night easily one of the GOAT groups ever, still kickin' today!
Love it because it brings back memories of my younger day!

"Out in the Country" is another poetic masterpiece.
They had an incredible number of hit songs. Love TDN!
If it's cold outside you might have a dog sleep at the foot of your bed. If it's even colder, you may have two dogs at your feet. But a three dog night means it's really f'-in cold!
My favorite is still “Eli’s Comin’”, but these guys had a ton of hits in a very short timespan.
Back then there was no auto-tune nonsense or gimmicks...just straight up musical talent ...
The lead on this song was the late, great Corey Wells. I loved this band. Someone else mentioned they were a hit machine and it's so true. You might enjoy Eli's Coming (live version). So many good songs, but my favorite might be Never Been to Spain.

Loved all their songs because of the Storytelling!
I love it because my mom and dad used to play it on the 8-track in the Chevy van... the one with the carpet, paneling, and curtains and beads... and we all sang along at the top of our lungs! Good times!!!
Really great Band from the late 60s through the 1970s. Sold more records than almost every other Band except Led Zeppelin. Lots of hit songs.
I am a 70's kid from Detroit hearing this song brings me back to Detroit.
I'm reminded of my Mother and growing up . She loved 3 dog night and all 70s.
The kinds of activities at parties and substances parents would not have approved of. Love this song.
One of the great things about this group was the fact they had three really great front vocals.
3rd grade when this was on the radio... Remember when we listened to the radio 🥴👊🤣
You should really listen to the studio version before judging this song, sounds much better. It was a huge hit & a great party song. But they're always fun to watch live.
They were one of the biggest selling bands of the 70's with a long string of hits. A band with 3 great singers that switched up who sang lead. That's the late, great Cory Wells singing lead on this one, wonderful bluesy soulful voice.
"Never Been to Spain"..."Black & White"..."Shambala".."One"..."Easy To Be Hard"...can't go wrong with any of those.💙☮💙
LFR YES I LOVED IT !!! THREE DOG NIGHT WAS PRETTY FAMOUS IN THE 70S
Don't let one song by this group letcha down man. They were a huge band in the 60s and 70s. They have a huge amount of hits. Still loving them, 60 sum yrs later...peace out man....next time try black and white, never been to spain, etc... Love you.
Huge hit songs, and their voices.
One of those bouncy summer time rock out in the car songs, you can sing along badly with a few friends and still sound cool. You got it by the end, it's just fun.
Classic! Reminds me of the parties Mom never knew about. ;) Like studio version better!
Loved their harmony and the lyrics.
Still love it! My older cousin loved to go to parties and always laughed about wild parties he’d been too!
Saw these guys back in the day....loved them.
do not forget to listen to "Eli's Coming" the live version.
Love their music. ❤❤❤❤❤
Brother... this band had 21 consecutive top 40 hits and 12 consecutive Gold Albums. Let that sink in. One of the biggest bands in the world from "69 to '80.
Happy Holidays to you and your fam!
He's talking about his experiences at a party that were a little above & beyond or maybe below what he was used to or expecting
This song ; the primal version not this one came out in I believe either 1969 or 70 back in the day when it wasn't common to party like that for the average kid hence the warning the person jn the song didn't heed : Mama TOLD me not to come bc that ain't the way to have fun.I was eleven or twelve when this song came out & was having similar experiences
Sorry auto correct meant original not primal
This is just a fun song with a great chorus. Nothing more to it!! I've loved it ever since I heard it for the first time. Peace!!
Joy to the World by Three dog Night. You gotta meet Jerimiah !
This song still makes me laugh out loud!
Sounds like the parties I went to in the early 70s. Saw them live in 72. Great Band!! Always STONED!!

this song always hit me because I was going to parties like this at the time. The late 60's in San Diego was a strange mix. I love this version.
My favorite Three Dog Night song is "Out in the Country."
Still love it! It's part of our great 70s music! I love the video too because it brings me back seeing the clothes they are wearing...... Bell bottoms, high heel shoes, big collars, fancy shirts.

This was my favorite three dog night song.. cause back when i was yoing it was their hardest song... i was a rocker.. so i liked it loud and hard
We used to sing this song and laugh!!!! 12 years old we didn't even know what we were REALLY singing, but it was funny!
Three Dog Night was my first concert in '72. Coming of age in the early to mid 70's. I remember many a smoke filled room, stealing a kiss. It was a great time to grow up, they have a great song catalog that you need to explore.
Three Dog Night was super popular just a few years before I came around, but I grew up listening to the music of this era because my parents did (they were young parents). My favorite is “Shambala”. “Joy to the World” is good too. My mom tells me stories of my brother who is 5 years older than me loving that and shouting in his toddler voice “Jeremiah was a bullfrog…” 😂. Wish they had that on tape somewhere! Lol
Three Dog Night was really good. Loved them as a kid. Shambala, Black & White, Easy to Be Hard...
I have a great love for Three Dog Night. I've seen them 3 times and there is not one of their songs that I dislike. Thanks for reacting.
I still do!!! This song is awesome and it’s because my dad use to play this all the time!!!
I’m one of those ladies that usually followed my mama’s instructions- not so easy in the sixties!!! Anyway this song proves she was right! I did love the music and the dancing and still do today.
This was the days of AM radio.
That means you sing along in the car.
They had alot of hits,and they had the kind songs you wanna sing.
Never Been To Spain
Joy To The World, both are great songs of theirs.
Mike Miller below hit a lot of them...Joy to the world....might be their biggest hit. Great job Van.
Lol Van, the reason we liked this song because, well, it’s pretty self explanatory 😆💜
One of my fave bands. Their music just makes me feel good.
