A canção “Joy to the World” foi escrita por Hoyt Axton e ficou famosa na voz da banda de rock Three Dog Night.
O refrão inicial “Jeremiah was a bullfrog” acabou se tornando o título alternativo mais conhecido da música.
Foi lançada no álbum quarto da banda, *Naturally*, em novembro de 1970, e a versão editada saiu como single em fevereiro de 1971.
Os membros do Three Dog Night a descreveram como uma “canção de criança” e “uma música boba”, apesar de ter liderado as paradas de singles na América do Norte.
O single recebeu certificação de ouro da RIAA e, desde então, já foi regravado por diversos artistas.
