Frank Zappa
Frank Zappa referenced Three Dog Night a few times in his early 1970s songs:
- Do You Like My New Car?: "Jimmy Greenspoon, once I..." - "Three Dog Night?!!" - "Yeah..." - "Oh! I love them! They're my favorite band!"
- Auspicious Occasion: "Ordinarily, when we start off a show, we start off with something real zippy and snazzy so that you get right into it, you know?" - "Three Dog Night!"
- What Will This Morning Bring Me This Evening?: "Danny Hutton, Three Dog Night - they are a big group. They are a happening group. They get laid all the time. Tinsel glitter. I'm telling you, Three Dog Night never failed. One. Easy To Be Hard. He is God."
- "The Holiday Inn Motel Chain": "Here's a little jar of golden tinsel glitter. Golden glitter. Three Dog Night uses this. Ooh!"
Jimmy Greenspoon (Three Dog Night) about Frank Zappa
"Frank Zappa (...) was always straight, hung onto everything he had. People thought he was so out there, that he had to be doing the most insane drugs, but he was as straight as they come. Frank is the only person I know from that era. I lived in Laurel Canyon. Frank was a neighbor. Flo and Eddie were my next-door neighbors." - Jimmy Greenspoon, interviewed by Gary James. [1]
