Band Name Origins:

- In Alaska, depending on the cold, some sledders have their dogs sleep next to them for extra warmth. Like a three dog night could mean it was really, really cold. Submitted by: casie

And he always had some modified wine. Original Lyrics: But I helped him drink his wine
Yes, he always had some mighty fine wine. |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Dave A preteen when this song came out new. I didn't find out, until about 15 years later, what the correct lyrics were. During that entire time, I ALWAYS wondered what 'MODIFIED wine' was! |

I'm a high night flyer and a rainbow rider,
A straight-shooting son of a gun,
I said, a straight shooting son of a gun.

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"Never Been To Spain"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: I've never been to heaven, but I've been to Oklahoma.
They tell me I was born there, but I really don't remember. Why They're Nonsensical: Of course you can't remember being born. I don't think anyone can. However, if he means that he really doesn't remember anyone telling him that he was born in a specified place, then that's a bit confusing.

| "Joy To The World"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Jeremiah was a bull frog
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 Why They're Nonsensical: A frog with a stash of wine? Where did they come up with that (keeping in mind that this song came out decades before a certain other alcoholic beverage used frogs in their commercials)?
