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.

This song typifies the great seventies when I was a teenager

Ray Dorset is still chugging away at 75, nice one!

My dads favorite song 😍 r.i.p dad miss you .

One of those songs you've heard at some point everywhere. Lead singer has an unforgettable look, lol.

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

Always puts me in a good mood when I hear it.

I was 5 when this song was released, my older siblings were always playing this song. I remember blowing in a Pepsi glass bottle, singing with my older brother. ♥️🤘🏻

Huge hit in summer 1970. Went to #3 in rhe USA and #1 here in Canada. Great summer memory growing up! ♥️🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦🇨🇦

One of my go to happy tunes.

K.S.O., if you look on Wikipedia, this song is the 3rd biggest selling single of all time WORLDWIDE (pre-digital age) ~ sold over 30 million records. Love your channel, your insights and humor ~!!! PEACE ~***

You had to be around back then KSO, this song was the perfect summer song.

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.

Best sideburns in the business

I Remember This on Radio in Summer that Year ,,It Was Huge Hit For Them

Love this! - fun, funky little song-💝👍

One hit wonders, this was all over 70s radio for years.

This was such a fun song back in the day!

This song always gets my foot tapping.

those sideburns had their own zipcode 😎😎

British band lucky to have a summer 😉

1970 Walworth Road, South East London on my balcony and this came blasting out from an Irish Pub in the High Street nearby. Now I have been in THe S E London Suburbs for 38 years I really miss that vibe and I will be 67 next month :)

Fun song.

Just one of those fun songs we love.

Being A Fun Song Is Part Of What Made It A Hit...Ray Dorset (Vocalist) Is Still With Us At 75.

In the 70's , when you started hearing this song on the radio...it meant summer was here, or on it's way! This song and Alice Coopers 'Schools Out'. ( Another 70's song that always said 'summer' to me for some reason was CCRs 'Looking Out My Back Door'.)

Was 12 when this came out. iI's such a fun song that has punctuated these longed for, too brief Great Lakes summers these past 51 years. Good to hear the song, since it's summer somewhere. It snowed this am here on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan.

"Have a drink, have a drive..." this song is FULL of bad advice! This was a *huge* hit in the summertime of 1970.

I loved your reaction on this classic hit! It instantaneously sets the mood for a bright day!

Wow that brought back memories 😊 your smile is how i smiled when i first heard it . Great reaction

I was 13 when this great song hit the airwaves. It sure takes me back.

Mungo Jerry....A Start to any Summer Time🌞😎🗣ch.🎶.ch.🎵ch🎶!!

That's the usual reaction. So much fun,this song makes you smile.

A song I grew-up with :)

You should react to a bunch of Summer/Summertime songs!

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

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.

Lead singer Ray Dorset lives in the small town where I work (by coincidence in the county of Dorset). He uses the same fish and chip shop as me. I once got to meet him at a local charity event and graciously signed an autograph for me, and one for my old dad who was a big fan back in the day. In the town of Poole where I live the council used to do free concerts in the park every August. One year Mungo Jerry played there.it was my daughters first gig at less than one year old. They did a brilliant song called Lady Rose which deserved to do better than it did. A friend of mine bumped into Ray at Chez Fred’s of Westbourne (shameless plug for my favourite fish and chip restaurant) and said “ I love Lady Rose. That should have been a big hit”. Ray Dorset thanked him and explained that it didn’t do so well because the radio stations wouldn’t play it. Apparently they got a bit edgy about the drug references in the B-side, ‘Have A Whiff On Me.’

Great song I heard this when was 6 years old great song and now his two kid play music to you should play that two

When I was a youngster, it felt as if this song only got air play during spring or summer. Nicer weather, good vibes. I’m sure it wasn’t planned that way, but to me it SEEMED that way! Thanks KSO for reminding me of those days.

I recon Supergrass' Alright was inspired by this record.

There's a recent video on KZfaq of Mungo Jerry teaching how to play this song.

Love the reaction that the song seems to be over. Tricky producers.

Trivia - Also used in an public safety 'advert' in the UK, warning about the dangers of drinking and driving.

Quite popular in summer of 70. Definitely a one hit wonder. Music was starting to change then. Nice upbeat 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.

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!

I enjoyed your review very much.

This song came out the year I graduated High School. It was a good summer.

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!

Loved this song as a 70's kid listening to the radio. Such a catchy beat and lyrics

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

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!

What was a nice upbeat summer song in 70 turned out to be a timeless song still enjoyed by many. Really amazing!

playlist for the last 45 years!! a vibe:))))

You have got to be one of the most genuine reactors on KZfaq! You put a smile 😇 on my face all the time!😎😎😎😎

🔥🧡🙌 love this one ! Remember it as a child 😊

Great classic song!! Love it!

Early beat box. Feel- good music! Great reaction! Thanks 🤪

Kooler than a fan ,man...timeless

This song is so fun love it. Ty.

My 12 year old self loved this song! 😄

Nice catch KSO,… All right, all right, all right! Most people never notice that, I’m impressed 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I was 8 and loved it.....blithely singing have a drink have a drive...not a clue lol. X

Have a drink and a drive 🍺🚙🚔

My earliest memory of this one was when I was a wee one somewhere between '73-76. Fun, fun, fun song!

You are such a treat!

Such a vibe...it really is a feel good summer song!

Fun song awsome!!!!!!

This song just make you feel summer, even in the heart of winter! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

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.

I like to listen to this and summer time by war in the winter at -40 c it helps keep you warm.

One of the biggest selling singles in the history of pop: No. 1 in 20 countries and sold over 30 million copies.

Thank you fellow Canadian. This is such a summer song LOL. Hence the title ha ha. It is at the top of my summer playlist. Specially when I had the convertible and a car load of friends. Thank you! Hey I live near Edmonton- we had snow yesterday LOL.

1970 Remember....(I was 6) Every Party with Mungo Jerry

I was ten when this would be on the radio and we would dance to it. Very catchy and fun.

1970. My favorite year in music. The variety of musical styles was unmatched, in my opinion.

You're so lucky it snowed there!!! Here it was hot !!! 🥵. His huge 70's sideburns . Reminds me of Elvis with his . The 70's music was 🤙🤙, but I don't want to leave out the 60's & Hendrix 🤙🎸

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! 😂❤️❤️

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.

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.

In the mid-1990s the Britpop group Supergrass released 'Alright', which was a kind of spiritual successor to this tune. Some even questioned whether their dads had written it for them. Possibly worth checking out.

What a nice vibe,wedding music.👌

Im the onley 1 who is watch all jerry mugo reactions from People

One of the highest selling singles of all time

Run our has it that Mungo Jerry was one of the craziest bands to ever throw a party.

there was also a video of them preforming this song in park in london i suppose.

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.

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.

Liked the reaction/ Snowed here in Montreal

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.

You wont believe it this song sold 30 million copies then it was released but it was also his biggeste hit

The ULTIMATE jug band

My cats going crazy 😂🤣😂

Shaggy covers this song , it's fabulous

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..

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?
