Joy to the World was vs. Indian Nation (Cherokee People). It was a landslide.
I like Joy but on the scale of 3DogNight songs, I actually don’t “adore” it that much. I love their other hits; Old-Fashioned Love Song and Mama Told me not to Come, etc. My son - the age you speak of - loves it now.
It’s Too Late also a landslide over Osmonds with “One Bad Apple”. I didn’t even know the Osmonds ever actually had a hit, much less top of the charts! Didn’t know this song so it’s one of the very few on this list I had to experience first for this.
One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch girl
I don't care what they say,
I don't care...what they say..."
I actually thought that was a Jackson Five song at first...They are like different colors of the same stuff to me...
I actually loved Cherokee Nation so maybe that's why I was so shocked...Think about it. Some English fancy boys dressed up like Revolutionary war soldiers singing from an Indian perspective. Funny on its face then you blur your brain and think of the words..."They took the whole, Cherokee nation...put us on this a reservation..." Ha...too funny....Another one of those is Elton John "Indian Sunset" I love that one too. It's one of my best shower songs. I know all the words and do it better than Elton the swish.
Another English dude singing about the plight of the red man. I think Europeans have this fascination with Indians...probably cause of tobacco...haha.
Funny side note from "The Life of Bagster": One time I took an Elton John album cover into the barber shop and told the guy to give me this haircut. Ha. I'm so lucky I didn't turn out to be a homo. That was well before I knew about homos or that Elton John was one. He was on the down low in those days.
Am I being too chatty? I don't want to mess up your thread.
of 3DogNight songs
Never Been To Spain was my favorite of theirs.
