    In the song 'Joy to the World' by Three Dog Night, who is Jeremiah the bullfrog? Is it meant to represent someone?

    Question #63763. Asked by ilovepuppies. (Mar 21 06 2:29 PM)

    		I was wondering if Three Dog Night in anyway was referring to Jeremiah the prophet in their song, or were they simply referring to a bullfrog named Jeremiah. So I contacted them to find out.

    They responded to my message telling me the song was actually written for a children's television show by Hoyt Axton, before they received the rights to it. So I guess the official answer to my inquiry is that Jeremiah was a bullfrog, at least Three Dog Night's Jeremiah. And my guess is they actually changed some of the lyrics because as you go further into the song some of the lyrics would be inappropriate for a children's television show.
