  • cool :-)

  • One of my all-time-favorite songs!

  • First heard this when Hanson covered it on the Howard Stern Show, since then I've been in love with this song.

  • They don't abuse it. Never gonna lose it. I can't refuse it.

  • wow great song! those were the days.... thx

  • Thanks for the siezure

    

  • @AlexSwanson23

    Oh no Alex! Maybe I should warn people.

  • @AlexSwanson23 Please go back to elementary school. They will teach you how to spell correctly.

  • what does it matter?

  • @mharrin5507

    When you think about all the crap that's in our heads...not too much really does matter.

  • I was born in '97 and I love this song, and Three Dog Night. My entire generation isn't completely ruined, some of us still have good taste!

  • @kbalanow ....you have a good soul! And yes, there are quite a few young'ns here on the Tube that have excellent taste in music.

  • Why you insert an image of Mexican musicians if the song talks about Spain?? O.O

  • @MrBabolato Yes! I was going to say that, too.

  • kansas is kinda cool.

  • How can anyone dislike this song ?

  • I've been to England, and I like the Beatles anyway.

  • 65 people have never been to Oklahoma.

  • Good song and funny video! I really like 2:58! LOL!

  • @peze80

    Thanks so much! Wishing you and Carol the best season and year ahead.

  • @carann5 Thanks again! I can wish you merry Christmas with my version of "Blue Christmas". You'll find it under my videos ;)

  • Great Band 3 Dog night..always had such good things to say in their tunes...enjoy search "Joggyn Smyler" music & videos..enjoy!

  • What an experience! Take me away . . . over and over and over. Sixties 'wannabe' flower child (not a music critic), thinks you did an outstanding job.

  • hey nice song, but i dont get the mexican singers in the video. peace

  • awesome job, great tune. first heard it this week.

  • @Chevyheartbeat1987

    Well thank you so much. This song was one of their biggest hits.

  • Excellent song and an excellent job with the video.

  • @mklvn777

    Thank you so much. I appreciate your kind comment!

  • Born in 90 and i'm thoroughly enjoying this. Thanks for the upload.

  • @MiniChiken

    You're kind of young to be enjoying this oldie but happy to know you like it. Thanks so much for commenhting!

  • @carann5

    I would not say it is politically incorrect. It may offend others, but not me. I think Mexican culture is amazing. Am I young? Well, thanks, but I do not know how old you expect me to be to understand that blue is blue and not green. Mexico is Mexico, and it's amazing, but representing cultures with pictures of other cultures is more like a mistake and it shows that you lack knowledge or you just don't care about those cultures. Then again, I don't try to offend, nor feel offended :)

  • 0:10 that isn't spanish music... that is mexican people playing mexican music... it's different...

  • @pixey45

    Well thank you so much Teri! You're too kind.

  • Carol you did a great job on the video this is my favorite>>>>

  • @parsonsclubmarket

    Thank you so much! I really appreciate hearing that. The best to you and your family and Happy Thanksgiving!

  • But I've been to oklahoma... STATE!

    GO POKES!

  • the epitome of blue-eyed soul rock.

    salut de Quebec.

    .

  • Carann This really is one of my favourite tracks on my favourites lol! It takes me a while to get to this track and I have tonight and wanted to say wtg hun for such a great posting. I did make a comment before as I am in Spain and I really don't remember much else except, I think I was born!!!! As they always say, if you remember the seventies (changed that from the sixties) you weren't there he he!

  • I kinda like The Beatles too!!!

  • @SammyG5551

    I kinda do too. I don't know why but I always liked Ringo! Thanks for commenting!

  • @carann5 thanks send me a friend request

  • @SammyG5551 dude, the beatles suck w/ the exception of ringo....get a life

  • i dont remeber a lot, but then again... that could be becuz i smoke a lot of weed....

  • @bubywashere then stop 

  • when you sing this song, you have to belt it <3

  • they tell me i was born in california but i really dont remember i was born awfull young

  • @tryby12

    Funny! Yeah, I guess you were. Too young to remember that is. Thanks for commenting.

  • this song was written by hoyt's mother, rather putting her name on the credits they decided to put hoyt's name on the song writting credits..

  • Always makes me think of basic training, Fort Sill, OK. 1981. Of course the song is a great deal more enjoyable.

  • whats with the fetish wear at 1:30 ?, awesome tune !

  • yeah!!!!!!!

  • I WAS BORN ON OKLAHOMA (CITY)

    AND MY DAD LIVES IN ARIZONA...SO THIS SONG IS REALLY SPECIAL...AND I HAVE BEEN TO SPAIN.... (ONLY FOR A LAY OVER ON A FLIGHT TO NORTH AFRICA) ;O) AND I PLAN ON GOING TO HEAVEN WHEN I DID...THINK I'LL HAVE THIS PLAYED AT MY GREAT HOME GOING DAY (FUNERAL).. ALWAYS LOVED 3 D N...

  • @moejoe1953

    Wow...you've been all over haven't you moejoe? I love the song too but not for my funeral. That would be different though. My husband who died four years ago always said he wanted everyone to have a party when he died. Of course we didn't honor his wishes. We just were not in the mood to party. LOL! Thanks for your comment.

  • @carann5 Babe its a shame yer didn't have the party, yer husband would have loved it! Understand completely why yer didn't feel like it. I am gonna have my own party in heaven or wherever if anything bad happens to me!!!

  • @rosemarydragon

    Good for you Rosemary. Keep that spirit!

  • This is awesome! You did a fantastic job.

  • @VintHarper

    Thanks so much, Vint!

  • I love this. I saw them back in the 80s in Dallas at the Agora ballroom. THey threw me a roach and Chuck watched me dance to this song...... great memories

  • Job well done! I absolutely love this song. My dad is a Sooner, so I crack up every time I hear, "Oklahoma, not Arizona." The last time I visited my father, we heard this song and couldn't get it out of our heads for the duration of my visit. Now it's back in my head, LOL! Thank you so much for posting.

  • @ragdoll2420

    Thank you ragdoll! By the way....what is a Sooner?

  • Nice video man!

  • @jbscotchman

    Thank you!

  • I've never been to Spain either...but I do know one fine person

    who calls Spain home! A wonderful soul from a beautiful country

    Friendship....is the perfect gift to give someone!

  • not sure what ur discussing but ELVIS IS WAS WILL ALWAYS BE THE KING

  • This is awesome .....i just love his voice and the rest of them as well ...

  • around the 2min mark, this guy starts JAMMIN!!  YEA!!!

  • Heard a woman sing this on Karaoke she did an excellent job...since I wanted to hear it in the movie Seawater Vampires coming soon.

  • Awesome presentation, thanks for sharing! :)

  • @JEGS0908

    And thanks you so much for your positive comment!

  • thanks for posting, excellent video!!, when well with the song. I also was a kid in the 60's and a teenager in the 70's...brought back a lot of memories...

  • @luvclassicmovies

    Thank you so much for your encouraging comment!

  • Great video nicely done.

  • @Psycomantis1

    Thanks so much with much appreciation!

  • Found this a few years ago. This is fantastic!

  • Great job! Hoyt Axton's reflections sure make good music and TDN did this one right.

  • Hoyt Axton wrote this song -- he was from Oklahoma, I never knew Elvis covered this one but he probably covered plenty in Vegas -- I'd rather hear the 3 dog night version overall...

  • @Piquet3wc

    Yes, it's been covered by Elvis, Waylon Jennings, Hanson and others but I agree....this one belongs to 3 Dog Night. Thanks for commenting and for the info. I will add it to the description.

  • Three Dog Night,One of my favorite bands of all time.So many great songs to listen to.Hats off to ya lads.Your music will live forever.

  • Why are there mariachis in the video? This is Spain, not Mexico.

  • Bein a child of the 60s ..you cant help but smiles any time you hear a song by Three Dog Night or any other great rock group from the 60s and 70s..Is there any good music after 1975 .? I dont think so..........Peace from Old HIPPIE

  • @lostsound2001 I think music was still good in the 80's but that's just me

  • @kjmolinar

    No that's not just you. Many people like the music of the 80's. But are you really 18 years old? That is kind of remarkable for someone of your age. Thanks for commenting!

  • @lostsound2001 i was born in 77 and this was one of my favs... just raised right I guess :)

  • @lostsound2001 Rock and Roll is the only music--everything else is just noise.

  • but i live in Oklahoma.

  • @Carann5-thanks for posting this video. I really like the part where the two people are standing and one is pointing and saying, "you were born in that house right over there".

  • @idonkno2021

    So happy to know you enjoyed it. Thanks for your comment!

  • They did well with Hoyt Axton songs. This one, and, of course, Joy To The World.

  • Far out! Thanks!

  • Real musik died in the 70"s...

  • @uksteele yeah, but it lives on thru youtube....

  • @80sVidLover -Thank God for youtube.com. I heard this song as a teen but the dj just never quite got around to announcing artist or I could never hear the whole song. FF about 25years and just so happens "Three Dog Night" will be performing at a place called Nutty Jerry's later this month. Heard the into on radio.

  • I'm not from Oklahoma, however, I live here. I wanna get out ASAP. Maybe not out of state, but out of this town. I'd like to be a mechanical engineer and live out on the north east or south west. near the coast, preferably. Maybe Virginia or California.

  • @fnerXVI In CAL-I-FORNIA, not OK-LA-HOMA...WHAT DOES IT MATTER, WHAT DOES IT MATTER?? ;-)

  • I'm from Needles!!!

  • i grew up with guys..will anyway I thought I was grown up..lol.. 14 yr old anyway...I thought I grew up anyway..,.I just love there music

  • I've been to Spain, England, and Las Vegas. I guess I can't sing this song.

  • carann, you rock! Thanks for posting this and good job on the vid!

  • @unleashed1966

    Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!

  • Neither Tacos nor Mariachis are from Spain but rather , Mexico.....just saying

  • Neither Tacos nor Mariachis are from Spain but rather , Mexico

  • or should say to california either.

  • No never made it to california. only made it as far as Arizona. wasnt born there either.

  • Why are there mariachis when it speaks of Spain? WTF!!!!

  • You did a nice job on this. Great song, too.

  • this song was written by Hoyt Axton

  • I have elvis on my wall three dog night rules this song

  • oh i've never been to heavenl never made itout to Neddies.

  • going thru Junior High and then starting High School in southern Cal during this time really made appreciating and enjoying the music of the times even more enjoyable than most would understand! hoo ah!

  • thankx 4 the acid

  • Remember this song back in 1971. had a musician friend started to sing this song with another friend who played guitar. The first time I heard this song, then I heard it on the radio later on..

  • I live in Spain and I was born in England, but I never been to Heaven or Oklahoma, but I really don't remember. I have been to Las Vegas but never been to Needles. I kinda like The Beatles but what does it matter. I kinda like this music its great!!! I really kinda like the video, not sure If am a little bit insane!

  • anyone know who the guy is at 3:07? he's in the video twice.

  • oklahoma not arazona

  • All Canadain

  • Thanks Carol..COOL!.."Rock n Roll!"

  • i found your acid , - it's into me and into you; we are all together, - koo koo ka choo, - wahtever! i love this song!

  • 2:58 made me chuckle. "You were born right over there. . ." Reminds me of when I visited Oklahoma as a teenager, and my dad got to see the house where he was born.

  • another song that puts a damn fine look on my face lolz - freakn luv this tune, n this band, y o y wuz i born in the wrong generation?!

  • I've been to every state except Alaska...

  • not Oklamaha, but CALIFORNIA. YEA BABY

  • Not bad, but nobody sings it like the King.

  • @MaharishiMahaYogi

    I love the King but I have to disagree with you on this one.

  • @MaharishiMahaYogi the king was and is the greatest but this 1 time he was out done on a song.

  • @MaharishiMahaYogi You cant give a song away from a group like this. Elvis does it great....like anything he sings. But this is original, cant mess with that.

  • @MaharishiMahaYogi i disagree and btw elvis wasnt the first to play rock so hes not truly the king of rock

  • @MaharishiMahaYogi The absolute best! The original is ALWAYS, the best, bar none! Three Dog night!! A great band.

  • @sugarfoot59 I dont agree but okkkkkk

  • @HermonieG1 You have that right. But I don't agree with you....you don't agree with me, so.....we are at an impasse.

  • lol i wish oklahoma looked like it did in the picture right now. We have had 100+ degree temperature with no rain for 18 days straight

  • @BlackSabbath1204 Joke's on you; they took the picture in Idaho!

  • @BlackSabbath1204

    Well, we just outdid y'all here in Pennsyvania. It was 103 with a heat index of 118! The good thing is that it doesn't last that long here. The normal for this time of year is 85. Thanks for your comment!

  • Good job! Ingenious! Fun!

  • @tobewunaskwunaaron

    Thank you. This was one of my first videos. Actually...I think it was my first!

  • I love this song and the feel of the retro video style. I have been to Spain and you could have done worse than the Mariachi band, lol. Taco anyone, lol.

  • @MrStevesmusic

    Thank you and...pass the tacos!

  • @MrStevesmusic Neither of which are from Spain.....Their Mexican

  • As a kid in the 60's and a Teen in the '70's I appreciate the memories !

  • @cynmarie33

    Thank you Cyn!

  • I grew-up listening to these guys, takes me back to what seemed like a simpler time. My VW, 8 track tapes, the beginnings of FM rock radio, you know listen during a thunderstorm without crashes of lightening, rock concerts, and of courses pretty girls! Thanks for posting these guys!

  • they don't abuse it ??? Yea sure they don't.... what does it matter...Luv it

  • Good sound. Nice strolling on Memory Lane.

  • 40 years on and this tune still ROCKS!!!

  • Did....did you just match a picture of a mariachi band with a line about spanish music? That's messed up.

  • @BigDodonga

    Yes I know. And I've been told about it...over and over and over. When I googled Spanish music that photo came up. What would I know? I've never been to Spain.
