Here's a new category of posts about bad decisions in music history. We'll call it What Were They Thinking, and we'll start with this utterly forgettable pile of crap from 1983 by sixties hucksters Three Dog Night. They heard the future at the dawn of the 80s -- ska -- and put their best spin on it with this track "It's a Jungle Out There". Which, in turn, paved the way for 1985's classic "Tarzan Boy" by Baltimora. Listen:
Look, I'm not defending earlier decisions by Three Dog Night -- their entire catalog is pretty much garbage. But this one just happens to stink the worst.
And while we're at it, here's the full "Tarzan Boy" video... I just can't resist.
This may be the single-most useless post I've ever written.
