Readers' Best Opening Lyrics: No. 3

Three Dog Night was my first concert - 1970! Ahhhh =)

The Great and HIGHLY underrated and underappriciated Hoyt Axton, also wrote , Never Been to Spain, Della and the Dealer,and agreat song released just before he died, Mountain Right. Also his Mother Mae Boren Axton wrote Heartbreak Hotel for Elvis Presley.

Again I'll say I love this song, but would definantly not have ranked this lyric so high. Where's the umph, the impact?

then his penis exploded

This was the #1 song on the charts when I graduated high school!

I love this song! Everytime I hear it, I can't help but sing along.

This song holds a place in my heart because when it first came out I was pregnant and looking for a name. I thought Jeremiah was a great name and ended up naming my son a form of it. The opening line has great energy to it.

Another one of my favorite oldies. My sons also loved this song, just goes to show Classic is forever, never will die.

Hoyt made a baad mistake in buying that lil fuzzy critter that didn't like water though! lol

i like most of the songs they did but my favorite goes like this...well i never been to spain.... i was almost born in oklahoma so when i sing along, instead of singing, i was born in oklahoma, i sing, i was "almost" born in oklahoma....and yes, i've been to arizona as an adult....and as they sing it, as far as i'm concerned, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter....just bring on the joy to the world. dad was in the army, mom was due to birth me, so he sent her to her dad's place in michigan while he set up post housing for her, him, my older brother, and little ole' me. i have pictures of me that were taken when mom finally got to oklahoma. i love that song and also always knew that the bullfrog was a human. that wasn't all that hard to figure out, was it? i guess so for some people. you had to know it wasn't a real bullfrog that lives in a swamp, didn't you? you're pulling our frog legs i bet..........
