In the Summertime is the debut single by Mungo Jerry, released in May 1970.
The band recorded the track very quickly in the studio, without traditional drums: the iconic rhythm of "chh chh chh" comes from the washboard played by Paul King.
The band's name came from a poem by T. S. Eliot ("Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer"). Released as a single, it became a global phenomenon: #1 on the UK Singles Chart for seven weeks in a row, #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, #1 in several countries and sold millions of copies.
I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t like gearboxes.
Especially old ones with knackered threads and studs.
Takes the job of changing one over so much longer to do.
Just hiding indoors from the big yellow thing (coz I’m a grey Cumbrian), and catching up on BBC RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
How have Range Rover got away with advertising during every show?
Presenters just happily saying ‘brought to you by Range Rover’ is a bit odd I have to say.
@dpdassistuk No, it doesn’t.
If you ordered a parcel and paid an additional £20 for it to be delivered next day by 10:30am, when would you expect it to be delivered?
