<P> The song is featured prominently in the film The Big Chill . It is sung by a child character at the beginning and the Three Dog Night recording is played over the end credits . </P> <P> It is also played at the end of every Denver Broncos home victory . Notable playings of this song after Broncos victories included then - Chicago Bears head coach Abe Gibron's singing along with the song in 1973; and at the end of Super Bowl XXXII, played at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego . It was also played at the end of Super Bowl XXXIII at Pro Player (now Hard Rock) Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida and Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara, California . </P> <P> Some of the words are nonsensical . Axton wanted to persuade his record producers to record a new melody he had written and the producers asked him to sing any words to the tune . A member of Three Dog Night said that the original lyrics to the song were "Jeremiah was a prophet" but "no one liked that". </P> <P> When Hoyt Axton performed the song to the group, two of the three main vocalists--Danny Hutton and Cory Wells--rejected the song, but Chuck Negron felt that the band needed a "silly song" to help bring the band back together as a working unit . Negron also felt that the song "wasn't even close to our best record, but it might have been one of our most honest ." </P>
