1972......#5 U.S. Billboard Hot 100, #5 U.S. Cash Box Top 100, #3 Canada, #12 New Zealand
Original video edited and AI remastered with HQ stereo sound.
"Never Been to Spain" is a song written by Hoyt Axton, originally released on his 1971 LP Joy to the World and later that year performed by Three Dog Night, with Cory Wells on lead vocal. It was featured on their 1971 album Harmony. The recording was produced by Richard Podolor.
The lyrics consist of the narrator ruminating about overseas locales that he has never visited, but about which he feels he has some proxy experience, primarily via the music but also due to other presumed highlights found in those places. He loosely compares his own actual travels to these more worldly spots.
In the final verse, he observes that while he has "never been to heaven", he has "been to Oklahoma", where he was told he was born, thus implying a kinship between the two places. Hoyt Axton, who was born in Oklahoma, explained that he originally wrote, "...in Oklahoma, born in a coma...." However, it was considered inappropriate; thus, the lyrics were changed to "not Arizona".
In the US, "Never Been to Spain" peaked at number 5 on the Billboard chart, and number 18 on the U.S. adult contemporary chart in 1972. Outside of the US, "Never Been to Spain" reached number 3 in Canada and number 34 in Australia.

Written by Oklahoman Hoyt Axton. TDN was my very 1st concert at the wee age of 11, in Tulsa, Oklahoma but - I wasn’t “born there.” 🤭 😌.
My dad dropped myself & my best friend off on a downtown street corner & picked us up afterwards. We felt so grown up I can still picture the memory, we had seats behind the band.
I have a crush on Chuck Negron, believe he was an outstanding college basketball player, glad he gave up that passion, for another.

I was thinking Paul Williams wrote this. But I looked it up he wrote "Just an old fashioned love song"
One of my sister's just loved TDN. ❤😊

I have a question about one line of the song. The first time they sing the line "never been to England" Cory is actually singing somthing different. I don't lip read so I can't tell what he is actually singing. Can anyone see what he is singing?
