If facial hair was an Olympic sport these guys would coming home with about 4 golds. A great summer track, driving in the car with this on and the sun shining is a joy.
The line about "If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel" - is saying that to impress a "rich girl" you have to take out to a meal, "wine and dine her", while a "poor girl" - just have fun. They aren't saying to take unwanted advantage of her - just saying you don't have to work as hard to impress her.
K S O, this brilliant summer song was CAMPED at No1 for 6 weeks during 1970! It will have paid a thousand bills for Mungo Jerry and is to be found on every summer song compilation! Classic OHW!
Oh boy. Mutton chops. Lennon tried them. And John Sebastian wore them for a year or three but it was Mungo Jerry's that made everyone think again. Pretty soon, we'd be hearing Leon Redbone doing resurrected '30s and '40s songs, but it was Mungo doing it on his own.
Oh ya! This song reminds me of summer in my teens living at the lake. Barbecues, water skiing, girls in bikinis. Ahhhhhhhh. This is in my list of songs for ukelele playing around the campfire now a days. Cheers!
Such a fun song! And you are so adorable. Such a pretty lady, alway colorfully and beautifully put together. And so intuitive. I really enjoy watching and learning from your reactions!
We heard the Mixtures cover version most in Australia. Due to overseas record company dispute wanting big money for their records to be played on the radio. Gave a huge boost to local bands and recording companies.
@@stevealdrup9359 I kind of hated it, just like Beatles, Dylan, Cat Stevens, the mamas and the papas, and other muzak and stuff you couldn't avoid. But like this song better now, with the video.
This was a One Hit Wonder from the 1970's. It was played on The Radio when I was a Kid. Also it reached a whole new generation of Fans when it was a Trivia Question on The UK Version of The Office. I had no idea what the song was about when I was a Kid. Dear God. Also they were one of many British Artists who bought Reggae Influences into their Music.
Before “studio sounds”, this is how it was done. The bottle was known as playing or blowing the jug. 😅 Thank you for a fun and beautiful reaction! 😂❤️❤️
Don’t drink and drive-you might spill it lol this song dates back when it was fairly normal to drink & drive what crazy times, thank god that is no longer the case.
One of the great classics of the seventies. This song is sinonimus with "SWEET CITY WOMAN" can't listen to one with bout the other. The days when we hitchhiked across country. Oh Happy days.
I was 10 the summer that came out. I remember that song received almost hourly airplay on KELI FM. I had a 7 transistor RCA pocket radio. At about that time I remember listening to The Long and winding road by the Beatles, Everything is Beautiful by Ray Stevens, Ohio by Crosby, Stills, Nash and young (I liked the song but didn't understand the lyrics until I as about 15), Patches by Clarence Carter, and Cecilia by Simon and Garfunkel. There were so many other other great hits that smashed the charts that summer. Every Saturday, Casey Casam played the American top 40 on the radio, and so many of the songs he played remain favorite classics to this day, 50 years later. When people hear a certain song, they may associate it with their 1st date or first kiss or their 1st road trip or their high school prom. I listened to Kansas * Leftovature and Head East - Flat as a pancake at a huge bonfire when we were clearing a property at the lake. Sultans of Swing played over and over on a trip from Tulsa to Tucson and back. Kiss on my list and keep on loving you remind me of working on ABC's Motorola handheld radios at the Masters in Augusta in 1981 and We're not gonna take it by Twisted Sister and What's love got to do with it by Tina Turner will always remind me of the oil spill from the Motor Tanker running around in the Calcaseau entrance channel in Sept 1984, while I was serving in the U.S. Coast Guard. pop Song 89, Candy*O, Sunspot Baby and Hotel California are but a handful of other songs which have the memory of significant life events associated with them. Hearing the song triggers the memory, or the memory also makes me think of the song. If you don't have music/memory associations then you must not listen to music while your living. What songs are associated with your memories?
@@robertsonsid To be honest, a transistor pocket radio was never great on any timeline. I did get to listen to the music of that time period just enough at the time on a high end Sansui quad system with 4 JBL cabinets that I at least knew how good that music really was. However, when it came to American Top 40 with Casey Casum, I was stuck with a 7 transistor RCA pocket radio with its insanely poor 1-1/2 inch speaker. It was like listening to Cat Stevens or Crosby Stills Nash and Young played on a Kazoo. You recognize the songs, but you won't sell any tickets.
This was issued twice. on PYE 7" 1970 and also on Dawn EP 1971 which played at 33 RPM. According to the chart books they only mention the Dawn Issue, although they used the PYE copy in Jukeboxes as the Dawn played at 33.. Also you may notice Marc Bolan also used verb in his voice, and it is suggested Marc threatened legal action for ripping off his voice style..
They had quite a few hits in the UK. Lady Rose, Baby Jump, All Right All Right, You Don't Have To Be In The Army. They arrived on the scene just before T Rex and for a while were almost as popular.
This is a blues song that gives me some Cajun/Zydeco vibes but without the accordion... the Cajun and Zydeco music comes from New Orleans and Louisiana if I'm not very wrong, but Mungo Jerry is a british guy, it's amazing
The lead singer Ray Dorset lives in Bournemouth which is in Dorset where I lived too. Sold him his wedding suit back in 1996 I think it was. Used to see him and his wife about quite a lot. Really really lovely couple, friendly as you like, no side to them at all.
If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel Speed along the lane, do a turn or return to 25 When the sun goes down, you can make it Make it good in a lay-by
Love your reactions always so genuine and especially when things make you laugh! Great song this, always loved it but Ray was doing Marc Bolan's vocal style (nasally and vibrato) and even the 'dee dee dee da da da' was late 60s T.Rex. Though the song was original of course (and didn't sound like T.Rex). As to those commenting on the 'have a drink, have a drive' lyric, I never saw it as drink and drive but have drink; have a drive as two separate things (of course you could drink some, and drive, within legal limits) Would be great to see your reactions to Marc Bolan and T.Rex (I think you did Get It On...have to go back and check) Hot Love, Deborah, Metal Guru, One Inch Rock, I Love To Boogie, Jeepster - many great ones.
... Marc Bolan? Great singer that he was, ... this predates by decades. Check out the entire skat sound. This dates back to the turn of the last century. Very popular jazz format. Ella Fitzgerald was awesome at so was, if you can imagine, Bing Crosby. Just kick back and enjoy it.

one of my favorite songs i love playing this during summer time

Harsh, but true, lol!
yeah, it's a positive message.
my man encouraged drinking/driving & rape in 1.5 verses. carry on...could never be sung these days
@@jasonfoussell923 Nah your just a person that gets easily offended
@@jasonfoussell923 You forgot speeding!! :-0
You had to be around back then KSO, this song was the perfect summer song.
Around? I wasnt born in the 70's Hun.. you know birthday snookums
@@SincerelyK.S.O. still, the singer had some great mutton chop, and that dude on the jug. love your reactions lol
I was. Class of 1970. Good times.
Still the perfect summer song!
@@SincerelyK.S.O. it was still a summertime fixture, until the mid-late 80’s (when radio got way too boring)
My dads favorite song 😍 r.i.p dad miss you .
Always puts me in a good mood when I hear it.
Huge hit in summer 1970. Went to #3 in rhe USA and #1 here in Canada. Great summer memory growing up! ♥️🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦🇨🇦
One hit wonders, this was all over 70s radio for years.
I remember Alright Alright Alright. And he had a hit with the It feels like i'm in Love by Kelly Marie.
Baby Jump and Long Legged Woman Dressed in Black were also hits.
Best sideburns in the business
Them mutton chops!
@@3DJapan greetings from the UK old timer
I Remember This on Radio in Summer that Year ,,It Was Huge Hit For Them

Y’all should see mine, hahaha
This song always gets my foot tapping.
Being A Fun Song Is Part Of What Made It A Hit...Ray Dorset (Vocalist) Is Still With Us At 75.
Loved this song since it was released. It never grows old.
Love this! - fun, funky little song-💝👍
That's the usual reaction. So much fun,this song makes you smile.
Just one of those fun songs we love.
Wow that brought back memories 😊 your smile is how i smiled when i first heard it . Great reaction
I loved your reaction on this classic hit! It instantaneously sets the mood for a bright day!
There's a recent video on RUclips of Mungo Jerry teaching how to play this song.
K S O, this brilliant summer song was CAMPED at No1 for 6 weeks during 1970! It will have paid a thousand bills for Mungo Jerry and is to be found on every summer song compilation! Classic OHW!
Loved this song as a 70's kid listening to the radio. Such a catchy beat and lyrics
A song I grew-up with :)
What was a nice upbeat summer song in 70 turned out to be a timeless song still enjoyed by many. Really amazing!
Was my mum’s favourite song... and I think I read one of the highest selling singles of all time. Good to hear it again 💕
I play this every summer and every mix and version and cover xx
Quite popular in summer of 70. Definitely a one hit wonder. Music was starting to change then. Nice upbeat song.
Not one hit wonders.... Baby jump got to no1in 1971,,,plus a few other top10 hits
Quite popular? It was CAMPED at No1!
@@noelworkman87 nobody remembers baby jump!
Fun song.

Love your natural reaction to this gem. It's a feel good tune. I must be old now. I bought the 45 of this when it came out.
playlist for the last 45 years!! a vibe:))))
You should react to a bunch of Summer/Summertime songs!
You have got to be one of the most genuine reactors on RUclips! You put a smile 😇 on my face all the time!😎😎😎😎
Ah this is such a happy song! What a perfect song for a day like today (it's wall to wall sunshine here in England!) Thanks for reacting to it x
Love the reaction that the song seems to be over. Tricky producers.
Such a fun song! And you are so adorable. Such a pretty lady, alway colorfully and beautifully put together. And so intuitive. I really enjoy watching and learning from your reactions!

I enjoyed your review very much.
Such a vibe...it really is a feel good summer song!
Nice catch KSO,… All right, all right, all right! Most people never notice that, I’m impressed 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This song just make you feel summer, even in the heart of winter! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This song typifies the great seventies when I was a teenager
I was ten but definitely remember liking this song.
Yes, indeed! It surely does. Those were such happy, good times. Wouldn't trade those memories for anything. 😊

1970 Remember....(I was 6) Every Party with Mungo Jerry
I remember this song in my first time to Las Vegas (I turned 21) and it was hot that summer day and this song was perfect timing.
1970. My favorite year in music. The variety of musical styles was unmatched, in my opinion.
They actually used it for an anti drink driving campaign in the UK! They played the cheery song then ended it with a fatal crash.
"In the summertime, drinking and driving wrecks even more lives."
I was ten when this would be on the radio and we would dance to it. Very catchy and fun.
Have a drink and a drive 🍺🚙🚔
I like to listen to this and summer time by war in the winter at -40 c it helps keep you warm.
You are such a treat!
Don’t drink and drive-you might spill it lol this song dates back when it was fairly normal to drink & drive what crazy times, thank god that is no longer the case.
there was also a video of them preforming this song in park in london i suppose.
You wont believe it this song sold 30 million copies then it was released but it was also his biggeste hit
My cats going crazy 😂🤣😂
One of the great classics of the seventies. This song is sinonimus with "SWEET CITY WOMAN" can't listen to one with bout the other.

A transistor radio was great in the 70's. Take the music with you!

@@dmkays AM vs FM is another issue. FM radio had better bandwidth and Signal-Noise ratio. The first transistor radios could only work on AM stations.
This was issued twice. on PYE 7" 1970 and also on Dawn EP 1971 which played at 33 RPM.
According to the chart books they only mention the Dawn Issue, although they used the PYE copy in Jukeboxes as the Dawn played at 33..

That's Wolfman Jack on the keyboards.
They actually had a hit with a song called "Alright, Alright, Alright"
Liked the reaction/ Snowed here in Montreal
We're not bad people, we're not dirty we're not mean. We love everybody but we do what we please!
The first UK stereo release to go to No !

Getting some crossover vibes with T Red in the vocals.
The only one missing in the video is YOU, with your million-dollar smile !
It perfectly captures the vibe of the time and the season. Another excellent summer song from the 1970s is Summer by War. Check it out.
This is a blues song that gives me some Cajun/Zydeco vibes but without the accordion... the Cajun and Zydeco music comes from New Orleans and Louisiana if I'm not very wrong, but Mungo Jerry is a british guy, it's amazing
Shaggy covers this song , it's fabulous
Mr Boombastic covers this? Never heard that one. :)
Dear K. S. O. Please, I love The Who. Make a video for "Pictures of Lily", "Tatoo" or "Armenia City in the Sky". I think all songs are from 1967
War - 'Summer'
The lead singer Ray Dorset lives in Bournemouth which is in Dorset where I lived too. Sold him his wedding suit back in 1996 I think it was. Used to see him and his wife about quite a lot. Really really lovely couple, friendly as you like, no side to them at all.
They should re-word it "Have a drink have a drive, see how long you can survive"
This was actually the biggest selling single ever in the world - even beat White Christmas!
The anthem of Florida.
❤
A fun, sing a long older classic.
Love this song, you really should listen to their record called Baby Jump.
Shaggy made a awesome version of this song. This is cool too.
This just makes me think of ribena now
Mungo Jerry - first prize in the Fred West lookie likie competition. Fred had women on his mind too…
If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal
If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel

That IS a feel good song, unless (maybe) your daddy is poor
I was going to wear my black mesh t-shirt and watermelon ascot...
ch, ch ch, uh. LOL
Check out Lady Rose!
If you're doing this then you should also do Mouldy Old Dough by Lieutenant Pigeon 🐦.
Probably won't be hearing this at "national organization for women " convention.
