I still love this song and I'm 75! In 1970 was leaving the Navy after 6 years. The group is English. There are a number of terms in there we, as Americans don't use of are unfamiliar with, such as "...maybe we can make it in LayBy" That is highway rest area or a road pull out. Still digging it after all these years.

You nailed it, the rich girl expects you to spend money on her, while the poor girl appreciates time with you, riding around or swimming in the sea.

[@ms.capone3762]

I like this view. "Do what you feel" doesn't necessarily mean taking advantage of the girl. It can mean enjoying each other's company taking a ride, going fishing, hanging with friends indoors or out. The time and sharing is what's valued.

[@danielstewart7163]

I agree, we were like that in the 70's. We didn't need a restaurant or social function to be happy. If you were in to someone you could be happy riding around town or dirt roads. Just being together was all that was needed. Whether it was a single person or a group of friends. Somehow we always found something to do.

Glad to know that I am not the only one who thought for all these years that the lead singer's name was Mungo Jerry. I just discovered, using wikipedia, that Mungo Jerry was the name of the band. A name that came from one of a pair of cats in a T. S. Eliot poem about Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer. The musical "Cats "was based on the poem. For some reason the band didn't go with Rumple Teazer for the band's name. Ray Dorset is the proud owner of the chops. Funny story, a couple of the band members tried to get Dorset fired from Mungo Jerry at one point, but management decided to let them go instead. Chops ruled the day.

[@everlyoshea]

@@FailedBard I have guilt for driving impaired in the 80's. I never had a DUI, accident or hurt anyone. There were no designated drivers, friends let friends drive drunk because they were drunk, everyone was impaired on something really. The last few years I've wondered if I just missed the warnings or if there were any. I guess not. It seemed like hungover driving was worse than drunk driving. When I started bartending, I quit drinking because I couldn't stand how folks acted drunk and the smell of stale alcohol when I opened the bar. That job was a blessing.

[@robertsaul234]

[@FailedBard]

@@everlyoshea Sober people seem boring when you're drunk, and drunk people just tend to be obnoxious when you're sober. Up until there was that start of a cultural change in perception towards drunk driving, there was no reason to stay sober at a bar, since everyone else was driving themselves home anyways. "Everybody's doing it" was, and still is, the largest driving force in society.

He still has those mutton chops too! That jug playing ain't nothing new though. Bluegrass players been blowin' on the jug for over 100 years.

[@Falstaff-mr8fk]

Rebel9668 bluegrass is only about 75 years old being invented by Bill Monroe in 1945. Now using a jug for bass goes back much further.

[@ronaldowens5025]

@@Falstaff-mr8fk making it widely known and inventing it are way different. Bluegrass is the Appalachian evolution of Irish folk music and has been played in one form or another throughout that area for as long as they have been there.

[@Rebel9668]

@@Falstaff-mr8fk Bluegrass goes back a lot further then that but back then it simply wasn't called bluegrass, instead it was "Hillbilly Music" Heck, the style of music goes clear back to old Irish tunes...Listen to "Hear The Wind Blow" some time and then listen to an Irish tune called The Connemara Cradle Song. Granted they dropped a few instruments and gained a few other over the years, but it's all pretty much the same style.

[@davidcopson5800]

If you bin blowin in a jug for 100 years you sure got some puff!

[@markperry4474]

There is also the term/genre Jug Band

I just watched my first video from your channel (Ballroom Blitz by Sweet) and left a comment. I’ve moved onto this one and I’ve got to tell you… I absolutely love you! What an absolute treat you are this is another song that the band I played in plays and it is so absolutely lovely to watch your reaction to it! What an absolute treat you are! You know your shit! There is always something that came before us that gave us inspiration. So fun to watch you learn these things. This, coming from an older white chick. Good music makes you move, whether you want to or not and regardless of what mood you’re in and almost always, it’s the most simplest and most rhythmic of songs that do this for us. This form of music we truly owe our appreciation to the black culture, because that is truly where it stemmed from. And you know that that standup bass should actually be a washtub! I love the history of music and how diverse it is. I only wish everyone else did, as well. I’m subscribing and I DO NOT do that often.

i saw him at a small music festival about 10yrs ago..he was fantastic,played great rock music, he looked great.Fabulous voice..

"Hot town Summer In The City" by Lovin' Spoonful

[@bananabob2185]

Another classic!

[@sharilynbratton6476]

I think you'd enjoy Tommy James singing 'Draggin' the Line', 1971, great tune! (He was also with The Shondells, they did 'Crimson and Clover'). It's not even a full 3 minutes long I don't think but is a great 'feel good' song.

[@wendywhitehurst-dade8292]

The Shondells were with HIM... 🤣

[@LaWendeltreppe]

This was what my parents were listening to when I was kid. I loved it to bits. Played it 100x a day.

[@skatpak2967]

THIS is probably my fav song...play it daily...always loved it...its just a song for summer thanks Jamal..for playin all these tunes...takes me back to being free just doin whatever hangin out with friends..and laughin the summer away!! take care

[@cre8tivone]

I’m sure you’ve heard Sly and the family Stones “Hot Fun in the Summertime” if not you owe it to yourself! 👏🏾😊

[@davidroberts7425]

My first single purchase. Still sounds great after all these years.

[@tonygee6418]

Song is 50 years old now and still lingers on One of my favorites

[@MarkTitus420]

It's been a while since I've seen a smile; It's really strange, I'm surrounded by people all day at work but I'm not really seeing any faces, including my friends and coworkers - all day long. Glad to check in daily to see you laugh and hear your reactions on some classics like this one.

[@firstname4337]

wow-- I immediately thought of Summertime - Billie Holiday Hot Fun in the Summertime - Sly & the Family Stone and the Reggae version of this song --- Shaggy Featuring Rayvon - In The Summertime

[@nettiemac]

first name yassssssss Hot Fun in the Summertime!!! Purely LOVE Sly & The Family Stone!

[@ironwolfgaming9632]

My all time Summer song is Peter Frampton - Baby I love your way. When I lkisten to that on a warm evening with the fire flies out and frogs singing - I live forever.

[@olderthandadirt]

Janis Joplin did a powerful version of Summertime as well

[@David_Theisen]

It wasn’t me!!! LOL

[@expfcwintergreenv2.02]

If I had a daughter I wouldn’t let her anywhere near Mungo Jerry

[@scottscott9150]

SO... you ain't rich huh.

[@sheilacabrera4603]

Hoping a rich father who actually loves his daughter would feel the same way; what father in his right mind wants his daughter to be with a person who thinks "rich = valuable", "poor = not so much" ?

[@evancodsworth2]

Possibly the greatest feel-good song of all time.

[@MySherry10]

I was a kid when this came out and I loved it and this is how we grew up being happy and believing lifes for living and being happy. Notice all of them smiling and you will notice most artists are always cutting up and smiling. The 70s, 80s are about being happy and celebrating love and life

[@studentoflife385]

Jug playing goes back to the Scots-Irish immigrants in hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. You'll find much of the original 'country music' is based on that fusion and almost always had a jug player. Poor folks have always found a way to make a joyful noise playing spoons, washboards, jugs and the like.😉

[@Teresia12]

Yes we have!!

[@chuckhunter77]

My grandpa was a clogger and played the spoons. In between 12 hour shifts of shoveling coal out of a mountain there wasn't much else to do besides sit around making music.
