My mom was 86 when she died in 2000, and in her waning years, this was her favorite song. She said it reminded her of her courtship with my dad, who took her for a ride in his jalopy in 1931...and my brother arrived a few months later. I'd play this song for her as part of our Summer Solstice rituals.❤
When I first heard this tune in the early 1970s I pretty much knew it was a very old song. Just as radio stations today will play 50 and 60 year old hits from the 1960s and 1970s, when I heard this song in the early 1970s, radio stations played 'oldies' too except they were VERY old (by today's standards). It was not until recently that I discovered 'Mungo Jerry' as the source of the song, and that it is a 'skiffle' style of song, which was based on very old form of blues etc. music from the deep south here in the U.S. So I realized "this band, Mungo Jerry, did an astonishing job of creating a vibe that somehow put across the era of this music" - I would have never guessed, hearing it when I was really young there around 1970, that it was a just-released song. They did an amazing job capturing the style and feel of that type of music. It's a wonderful hit.
Mungo..it's great to be seeing you still playing after all these years & still enjoying yourself..so you keep up the good work and entertain the way you do 👌
One of the best feel good songs of all time. If your feet aren't a tapping when listening, you my friend are dead. Mongo seems more happy just playing than any money he may have made from it over the years.
the hook is compulsive. it says summer more than the Beach Boys. and " life's for livin yeah thats our philosophy" is a life lesson. I was there when this came out and it dominated that summer.
Good to see he's still alive and enjoying and giving joy 😊 Was moved by the song when I was a child. Very different. Love your youthful vibes with it now. Thank 😂🎉
Tinha 12 anos no verão de 1970. Lembro-me hoje, com 65 anos, de que esta música foi a banda sonora desse verão. Toda a gente a ouvia insistentemente. Quanta recordação boa !!!!
Thank you for sharing this, Nigel! 😄❤ I used to use this a torture device song for my daughter getting her homework done! 😂 Now she luvs it!❤❤❤❤ Thank you.❤
Yea, I thought of Jerry Mungo as a one hit wonder...a fabulous one-hit at that ... then I looked at the band's other music...OH MY GOSH...it was astounding how good the band is...I never heard anything except the Summertime...Last month I bought a 5-cd MJ Set...It was stunning. I bought copies for my friends, too. They couldn't believe how great that band was....and they had LOTS of HITS across the pond...
Look at him talking about youtube or twitter this wasent even out when he first started rocking out to this song it didint exist..i dont know why i just think this is so cool 🎉🎉🎉
Hi Mungo sticky son puro rock I still playing it very good rithm 🎊'70s Im 68 several generations spending and shering.God bless you.esas patillas son postisas o son reales? I wander!?
N.Y. Eu cheguei atrasado 20 anos depois, eu só ouvi falar dessa musica, nos anos 90. Não fazia ideia, que era dos anos 70. Mesmo assim é uma musica legal e engraçada ( hilariante).
G'day Mike, I have and love all of these records up until Nightmares On Wax. I have a download of Everyday I Love You Less & Less which is a banger. Yard Act have got by me, but I'll check 'em out on your recommendation👍Bloody hell...I've got homework to do now. The musical mechanoid 😂the Dame Edna...it's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it. The reputation of the whole continent rests on me? Not a very high bar Mike. This should be easy 😂

М не сегодня за 60 лет.Услышала эту медодию дней й0 назад.я с ней не расстаюсь.Гоню яблочный сок,или варю щи,или гуляю с собакой,эта мелодия со мной.Своего рода фитнес.И чудо колени не брлят,передвигаюсь в такт музыке.И хорошее настроение .
Was this recorded four years ago I'm just very curious because 5 days ago if someone said do you want to go see them live I'm not sure if it's just him left but I would say no it's very funny how quick things can change cuz now I would say hell yeah but really it would just be for this song maybe I should check out his other music
Mungo had 2 number 1's, Lady Rose would off been a number 1if the BBC had not banned it. Also loads of other top 10 hits. Bit more than a 1 hit wonder.
@@gavindoak2439 let’s see The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath. Safe to say a lot of great bands came from the UK and even the greatest guitarist of the 80s EVH was Dutch
When there's a Hot summers day this song comes to mind always.This first Makes me feel fine, just like...Bruce Springsteen & girls in their summer clothes does ❤❤
I love how much he obviously still loves this song he’s been singing for half a century.
I know!
Was tgis done in ashley cross dorset as i went to that looks like it
He can’t be that old lol😅

Music is such a powerful and emotional vehicle. For me, many songs are time machines, whisking me away to times past.
@@nigelbewley1122Well said, and I wholeheartedly feel the same sentiments. It’s what makes the world go‘round.

Ahhh, The Summer of 1970!! Cruising around singing the CHA-cha-CHA part driving my friend crazzy-nuts!
Brings back childhood memories listing to AM radio in San Diego in the late 60’s. Thanks for sharing
Ray is such an engaging, cheerful bloke.
He has so much energy and he looks so nice
Mungo..it's great to be seeing you still playing after all these years & still enjoying yourself..so you keep up the good work and entertain the way you do 👌
Love so much this song!
Mungo is great!
Thanks for sharing this!
Love much love love

Thanks Ray and band for being brilliant
One word - Legend.
Good to see he's still alive and enjoying and giving joy 😊 Was moved by the song when I was a child. Very different. Love your youthful vibes with it now. Thank 😂🎉
O God !!how much i love that song till today!! Unforgatable!!!!
Can't kick off the summer without listening to this song once and awhile.
Man, I was working in the hot Texas sun when this came out and I would hear it dozens of times a day on the radio. Loved it.
Great memories of this song and the summer it was a hit.
This song is a such a smile
I remember this song as being the summer I was no longer a child! 14 years old!
This guy gives me chills I wanna know everything about him he's been a serious inspiration for me.
Best summer song ever!
Correct statement.
Without a doubt!
I love this song 🎵 Hi 👋🏻 from Quito Ecuador 🇪🇨
Love this guy, great song.
MUNGO JERRY ~~ Constant in music galaxy! Ray Dorset ~~Legend ! 🍀💚🍀☀️🌟💥

Damn I miss music like this anymore! We had the best of the best! Screw cRAP AND hip hop!
You’re so right!!
Hip hop is good tho. U should be more concerned bout that crap called Trap
Brings back memories. Thank you
Reminds me of London in the summer growing up blissful ❤🇬🇧🇮🇪🍀
gotta admit he looks pretty damn cool with that badass outfit and those chops
He grew his sideburns back.
thanks for recording. Greetings from Glenview, Illinois.
Anos 70. Eu era feliz e sabia
Timeless classic !
GLAD TO SEE HE STILL ENJOYS DOING THIS SONG.
puedo escuchar esta canción todo el santo día, me pone de muy buen humor 🎶🎵💃💜🎹
Gotta love this dude
For the impatient, like me, the song kicks off at 1:53.
Great to see Ray Dorset still enthused by writing this classic, feel good, three chord ditty.
This world could use more Mungo. 🌍
Great Guy and a great tune.....tapping my foot
Thank you for sharing this, Nigel! 😄❤ I used to use this a torture device song for my daughter getting her homework done! 😂 Now she luvs it!❤❤❤❤ Thank you.❤
J'ai pu les voir, dans les années 80 à Marseille quartier de Château gombert, malgré un maigre public ils ont assuré leur contrat. Bravo à eux 😮😮😮
great memories!
People "enjoy" concerts through thier phones. Live in the moment.
still got a great voice
One genuine one hit wonder. But what a one hit. Still delightful and sing a long greatness 50 years later.

Padrísimo música para recoger lo bueno de la vida. Recordar lo maravilloso que es vivir,
He sounds just as good as the original 😊
He is the original.
@@terrilew5350 I meant the original recording not the artist 😊
@@stephenomara9343 😁
Excellent song.
This was the first record i bought with my own money😊
He must be the only 60 s rocker who's still got his own hair the same 🤔
And the mutton chops😊
Glued on
Classic G O L D.

Great remembered 🎵mungo Jerry and band
Don't ever stop
Love Mungo Jerry!

Eve angel list. Jerry Mundo
Women on his mind. Yes
Very Very good
The genuine article
Tudo devia ter parado na decada de 80❤
His singing sounds bass boosted😂😂😂
Crappy cell phone recording, how can you tell?

Who's better? David Essex or Ray Dorset?

LOL, BRILLIANT !!!

When your show is about a one hit wonder, might as well take your time gettin it out :D

Bit more than a 1 hit wonder.
Bom pra car@lho!
So, this is the guy referenced in the Avengers....
Where is the horse he just got off of ???
Ouvia nus filmes de Durango kid, me corrijam se tô errado.
o cara nao muda kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk é um hino essa música
What is the name of the second song ???
I'm sorry, I don't know - I don't recognise the opening riff.
This isn’t Mungo Jerry, it’s just their old singer & guitarist Ray Dorset & some paid studio sidemen. But they sound O.K.
Could be Alex's Korner's twin❤
Wtf he’s British??
eric13zombie I thought he was fucking American😂😂😂
@Kraze You said it.
@Kraze nope
@@gavindoak2439 oh yeah.

Am I the only one who thinks he looks like Ian McKellen?
Seth Rogen on the keyboards!
Ti di,di,didi...da,da,da,da...ciekawy motyw
Dommage, le son est pourri !
That was painful.
'Lady Rose' is even better than this epic song. imho
He is getting the most miles outa this tune ain't he?? lol....
Trash trying to make royal trash. .. 😂
Look, everyone is singing , no Iphones and shit !
wait, except this guy.
11TH BEST SONG EVER....

For guitar players out there, he shows you how to play this song.
