JOHN HABS Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Anyone remember Mungo Jerry and In The Summer Time ? Use to be one of my favorites in the 70's and still gets my feet tapping when it comes on the radio. Can you also remember their other hits: Baby Jump, Mighty Man ? There was also another band with a hit in the 70's which I use to like and which sounded a little like Mungo Jerry style..........The Mixtures .......Pushbike Song - remember this ? Moving towards the end of the 70's, another song impressed me - an instrumental by Pete Green and Fleetwood Mac........Albatross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 You can date me very specifically if you know that Mungo Jerry was at number 1 when I was born. My parents did us both a box of things that were happening around the time we were born, including a copy of the number 1 single, a couple of newspapers and lots of baby stuff. My sister was even luckier, she was born when 'Where do you go to my lovely?' by Peter Sarstedt was number 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 The very first song that I consciously recall was ''Chirpy chirpy cheep cheep'' by Middle of the Road. I think I was three or four years old. I also recall 'In the summertime' by Mungo Jerry, but 'Chirpy' holds the place in my heart because it's the first pop song I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember 'In the Summertime' very well, I'd been suppin' pints for a couple of years before it came out and I used to sing along to the jukebox in the Traveller's Rest. When I got to the line 'You got women, you got women on your mind' I got a thump in the guts from my girlfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
