When Hoyt Axton brought the song "Joy to the World" to multi-platinum 70s band Three Dog Night... It was summarily rejected. Two of the three singers Cory Wells and Danny Hutton felt the song was too silly. Especially the iconic opening line: Jeremiah was a BullFrog! So Axton decided he'd do it as a Gospel song but he brought it in a third time and singer Chuck Negron who sang lead on Three Dog NIght's big 60s hit One was interested in trying the song out. He sang the opening line and he knew it would be a hit. It was a no-brainer. So he talked the other guys into recording it and it became Three Dog Night's biggest hit...an all time 70s rock classic and the #1 song of 1971. It has since been used in dozens of huge movies including its resurgence in the 80s classic film the Big Chill as well as in 90s film Forrest Gump. Also the silly opening line has become one of the most famous opening lyrics from a classic rock song ever. Here in an interview Chuck Negron formerly of Three Dog Night shares the story of Joy to the World.
