The band's name, I believe, is taken from T.S. Eliot's poetry book "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats". The poem itself is "Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer". The collection of poems in the book was later adapted into the Broadway musical "Cats". This song is indeed a summertime vibe.

Also a prime example of the diversity of sounds and styles that era had, which has since been ruined by moronic record companies and radio stations that want more and more clones of the most common style and sound.

This song brings back to 1970 in a heartbeat. And all I can envision is jumping in the pool and sinking pool balls in the pockets. Definitely was a huge summertime song. Great job.

And the first time we ever heard this song was the first day we went out to drive and it was like #10 on the charts. After the song was over the coach looked at all of us in the car and said "That song will be #1 by the time we finish this class". And it hit #1 by Friday morning.

When the song came out in 1976, it didn't get a lot of airplay, and one station finally told the group that they were holding the song until the spring and summer since it was a fun, warm weather song. That summer, the song was a hit.

I agree but I don't vote for what I think is the best song, just what I think would be the most fun watching them react to.

It’s a summer thing that’s memorable for being background music for things folks like to do in summer. And people like summer, so people like this. Sort of self-referential enjoyment. Makes me smell back yard barbecue smoke.

"Speed along the lake, do a 'ton' or a 'ton and 25' ". Meaning: a "ton" is a British slang term for driving 100 kph (62 mph). "When the sun goes down you can make it, make it good in a 'lay by' ". Meaning: a "lay by" is a slang term for sex.

I was 16 when this song came out and I was working concrete work, me and my buddy loved this song when we were working, swinging a pick axe and shoveling gravel out people's driveways to pour concrete. Hard work but this song lifted your spirits.

YES!!!!!! Thank you so much for checking out this song! This has been my favorite summer time jam since I was a kid. If you're bored sometime check out the video of them playing. Our boy is sporting the most awesome lamb chops in the history of lamb chops. Plus, they have a guy actually playing a jug! (BTW They have piano, banjo, stand up bass, guitar AND a jug! And don't forget the foot stomping!)

The only thing I'll say is that it almost assuredly is best LIVE. It was a huge hit. And I liked it. But I like more upbeat songs for the summer. This is floating on an intertube on a lake. Chillax.

This was one of those songs when you heard it for the first time on radio, you knew it was going to be in play rotation for at least a month. You knew you would be wearing your finger out pushing another station as fast as it came on.

If you want to know where Mungo Jerry got this song from, check out the song, "Rock Island Line" by Huddie 'Lead Belly' Ledbetter. You'll find the roots of it there. Love you guys!

While I agree Leadbelly deserves the love, I think Andy and Alex would be well served by checking out the Lonnie Donegan version after that. You wouldn't have had the Beatles without bringing skiffle into the limelight like that. But yes, start with Leadbelly.

I think Andy hit the nail on the head, this song is about the culture and life in the '70's, in the summertime. Apart from how catchy this is everyone remembers this song for that reason.
