很多人可能不知道,《Joy To The World》原是一首童歌,身兼村歌手的Hoyt Axton一部90分的卡通片〈快之歌〉,描述一群孩子在奇幻上的冒故事。但此因故未能完成,Hoyt Axton就已好的歌曲分送歌唱界的朋友。
Hoyt AxtonThree Dog Nught示演唱此曲後,的三位主唱有位表示反,另位主唱Chuck Negron,需要一首「好玩」的歌,以便大家可以共同,而且反正中的歌曲也不太。在心插柳的情下 ( 然,有歌曲的奏化 ),想到此曲一天,成了1971年告示牌排行榜的冠曲,也是Three Dog Night三首冠曲中最知名的一首。
此曲最典的部份,是在始的句歌---「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。」Jeremiah在中是「先知」,和bullforg ( 牛蛙 ) 有何?又扯上了喝酒,引起了大的好奇和揣。而Hoyt Axton事後接受透露,只是他便掰的,也不具有何特意。
「Three Dog Night」澳洲原住民的。由於天在太冷,常在夜狗睡在一起取暖,而引申「寒冷的夜」的意思。故Three Dog Night一度被是澳洲的。
PS:《Joy To The World》另有一首同名曲,耶歌曲,此曲。
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 flier and a rainbow rider
A straight shootin' son of a gun
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 world
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
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 fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
