Another couple of songs that might as well have been from the 60s.
As you might expect from the title the first is a jeu d’esprit. From a band known rather peculiarly as Three Dog Night – apparently something to do with Australians on cold nights warming themselves up with dingos – it was a hit in 1971.

Their other UK hit came a year earlier and was a Randy Newman song, a warning about the dangers of strange places and unusual substances.
