every summer in the 70's, when i was a kid, as soon summer started in England, this song would be all over the radio... reminds me of climbing trees and swimming in the Thames...

[@Ass_Burgers_Syndrome]

Swimming in the Thames, surprised you survived it. I guess you must have been further upstream! Luckily I lived 2 miles from nice Cornish beaches!

[@CyGea]

I was going to say the same thing, except I was in Wisconsin...reminds me of exploring backyards and trainyards in Milwaukee.

[@personalcheeses8073]

So true

[@leftcoaster67]

You can swim in the Thames??????

[@Wellch]

@@leftcoaster67 I was thinking the same thing.

[@t.r.1708]

Summertime songs are a whole genre of their own! This is one of the best!

[@seanhickling7340]

I worked with Mungo Jerry back in the 90's. They were a truly wonderful group of guys.

[@mikehollingworth2262]

liar

[@seanhickling7340]

@@mikehollingworth2262 And what exactly are you basing that supposition on? I worked in the entertainment industry for many years especially a long period on holiday camps. I've met and worked with many artists. Mungo Jerry played Norton Grange on the Isle of Wight while I worked there.

[@BigIronOnHip]

[@anthonyv1719]

Best sideburns of all time. One hit wonder "jug" band.

[@thefoss5387]

Only one hit in the US...but they had numerous #1s in the UK, and world wide. Baby Jump, Nadine, a cover of Knocking on Heaven's Door, etc.

[@fredshred5194]

yep, and I miss those days of having a drink and going for drive.

[@kennyosborne3839]

They had a string of hits You dont have to be in the Army Baby Jump Long legged woman dressed in black

[@fredshred5194]

@@kennyosborne3839 The BBC used that song in an anti drink campaign focusing on the line have a drink and a drive then showing a bad car crash.

[@jokervienna6433]

The sideburns are MAJESTIC! :D

[@owenbb505]

I never thought about it, but now that Brad said it, you CAN imagine a bunch of Disney characters walking down the road in a line singing this on a summer's day!

[@staggerlee9362]

It was already a thing, more or less. The attraction was called Country Bear Jamboree at Disneyland.

[@adrianlloyd3246]

This was released in 1970 when I was 3yrs old so I've known this song all my life. Apart from a couple of questionable lines by todays standards (no kids, you shouldn't drink & drive and no you can't do as you please just because her dad is poor) it still sounds excellent. Lead singer Ray Dorset wrote this and you know when someone writes a song that is popular, it's been around for what feels like forever and it's paid the writer's mortgage? I'm pretty sure that this has paid Ray Dorset's mortgage! BTW, he's now 75 and still playing music ...

[@charlessalzman4377]

"If her daddies poor you can do what you feel." Brad's reaction. Who else was watching and waiting for it? Both of them, first time that "what?" look followed by that big smile when it played the second time. Love it!

[@alamc200]

You should've watched the music video and see them play their instruments and sing. So much better and entertaining!

[@sealdrup]

Absolutely...sorry didn't see you already noted this.

[@theccpisaparasite8813]

Oh yeah! It's abundantly clear that they are having a great time recording it. Hamming it up for the camera, it hard not to smile.

[@Thisandthat8908]

lyrics videos are probably easier on the copyright.

[@robperry5293]

I remember when this song came out really well...I was a kid and girls were just becoming very interesting to me...Took me back to open swim at the local high school during the summer that this song came out...girls in little bikinis, the start of a whole new world for me.

[@johnjesberger5676]

This song was such a smash world-wide hit it's insane. It went to #1 in so many countries it's something like the 3 best selling single ever. We're talking Bing Crosby White Christmas levels here.

[@loristone9242]

The Lex analogies are totally on point!! Brad also, in this case. The Andy Warhol paintings meet the Disney characters. ha!!! Greatness. I love this reaction. The piano is so great in this song.

[@JimiBurleigh]

Mungojerrie is a character from a book by T.S. Elliot "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats". Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer are also characters in the Broadway musical "Cats" which is based on the aforementioned T.S. Elliot work. In the film, "Logan's Run" there's a character, called simply "Old Man", played by Peter Ustinov. He is found by the main characters in the ruins of the U.S. capitol building with dozens and dozens of cats. He quotes several passages from "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats".

[@kingspeechless1607]

This is an English band fronted by Ray Dorset; They released this song in 1970 and it was a massive summertime hit for them. It was good fun music you could sing along to.

[@nickfiorenza5930]

My gosh, this song was very popular, when I was a teenager, back in the day. This song was playing on all the AM, radio stations in the day. Thanks for the trip back in time. God bless.

[@phonebone81]

In germany it was a top 10 hit. Almost no one really understood the lyrics, but everyone danced afterwards. For us youngsters it was just worse a bad pop song and we preferred to listen to Led Zeppelin or something like that. But today it is really funny to hear. Thanks for the reminder !

[@charlesmarkley220]

Army brats.

[@timmcc171]

@@charlesmarkley220 So? Stupid comment...

[@thewiseoldherper7047]

It’s a silly little summer song. People didn’t compare it to Led Zeppelin. They understood what it was and enjoyed it for what it was.

[@giuliogrifi7739]

Huge hit in Italy too...I knew this before led Zeppelin !

[@AminalBob]

The three of you together is cool to watch. Lex, your enthusiasm is infectious. It’s such a joy to see you enjoy yourself to music I listened to when I was very young, and still do. Brad, the way you analyze the music with the lyrics is a lot like how I always have. I think I’m a cross between you and Lex. I analyze it and lose myself in the music. Berto(hope I’m not butchering your name), your perspective is really interesting and I hope to see you reacting more with the Couch Gang. Thank you to the three of you!

[@ZacCostilla]

This was a JUG BAND SONG by a British band that was a hit in the freaking ‘70s! It’s like Vaudeville meets psychedelia. So yes, your analogies are absolutely on point!

[@gailleggett602]

Love this song! Love to watch you guys! Cute little brother!

[@dianeryder5895]

All these years never realized they were British. Great summer memories

[@tileux]

You probably wouldn’t believe how popular this song was when I was a kid in the 70s. It was on the radio non-stop. And back then all we had was a radio. For me this song always goes hand in hand with Gordon Lightfoot’s ‘Sundown’, which was also all over the airwaves back then.

[@chrisross1703]

I was 15 at the time. We had a French boy stay with us for a month and he bought this and played it non-stop, including when we both went back to his family.

[@Goldberg070]

One of those timeless songs that puts a smile on everyone's face who hears it :)

[@robertembury6094]

This the first time I've ever heard this in stereo.To keep our Mother sane our Dad used to take us three boys in the car on Saturdays to discover the city and count "Beavers"(Volkswagen beetles) This song was blasting on AM radio every summer since its release. Great memories .

[@onetruthmediacompany]

Yall have a weird idea of what a "beaver" actually is ! I've never heard of a VW Beetle being referred to as a "beaver", & I'm sure yall are the ONLY ones that ever has either.

[@LynnThompsonAuthor]

@@onetruthmediacompany Nope; they are not the only ones. My childhood best friend and I used to play this same game, and referred to VWs as "Beavers." I'm sure our parents were cracking up hearing us yell "Beaver!" from the back seat every time we saw one.

[@robertembury6094]

I'm Canadian ,I could throw a rock in any direction and hit one but All that nuance about "Beavers' was lost on me as I was 8 years old at the time and I thought a VW Beetle looked like a beaver. cheers

[@robrochon1034]

Haha...when we were growing up we used to call Volkswagon Beetle "punchbuggies". We played this game as we travelled in the car in the back where the first guy who saw a VW Beetle we would turn and punch the other in the shoulder and call out "punchbuggy" and the colour of it...ie. "PUNCHBUGGY BLUE" while punching bro or your buddy in the shoulder. AND THERE WE ALOT OF PUNCHBUGGIES BACK IN THE 70'S AND EARLY 80'S hahahaha!!!

[@owenwadleigh4]

Another song from this era that brings back memories is "Seasons in the sun" by Terry Jacks I believe. Even my mother loved that song and asked that it be played at her funeral which we did in 2005.

[@rodb9275]

You would have enjoyed what is considered the official video of this. Fun to see them perform it.

[@livenhfree]

To see the natural enjoyment you all had for this song was lovely. Just happy. Nice.

[@classiclife7204]

One of the all-time great party songs!

[@susanbotwinski5584]

I'm so glad you guys heard this. Fabulous channel! 🔥♥️ So glad your brother is visiting. Yay Berto! 😃

[@patrickdoake6022]

Mungo Jerry one of soundtracks of my youth in 60s 70s had a few hits actually, baby jump bit more of a rocker, couple other hits. Very English ✌️😎

[@coreyz.2800]

When you get the chance you definitely have to go back and watch the music video. Just really exemplifies the easy-breezy vibes, just a bunch of guys grooving, chilling, almost feels like an impromptu jam session and they're all just having a good time. Just a real "feel good" video that will make this song even more likely to bring a smile to your face every time you see it. Plus, you gotta see Mungo's epic sideburns.

[@unclebobunclebob]

Always forget to mention....love how you guys go right into the song. No build up. No preaching. Thanks.

[@ianrayner7522]

A couple errors in the lyrics, first: "Speed along the lane, do a ton or a ton and twenty-five". A ton = 100mph. In the UK, the speed limit on country roads is typically 60mph, but since this is indicated by a "speed de-restriction" sign, we would take that to mean as fast as you like. But seriously, 100mph on the lanes where I grew up would put you in the morgue in short order. Another error: "when the sun goes down, you can make it, make it good in a layby". A layby is a pull-off at the side of the road, you figure out "making it good in a layby" for yourselves! Great 1970's ethos: "Have a drink , have a drive" As someone else points out, this was the summer anthem in the UK early 70's.

[@antemorph66]

Classic. I listen to this song all the time

[@sealdrup]

Big hit way back. I remember swimming in a community pool with this playing in the summer of 1970. I was 10. That song is someone blowing into a bottle. Take a look at the video to this.

[@stevenhoward3358]

When I was a little kid I used to hear this on the radio. There was nothing like it, totally unique and brilliant.

[@LighterSideOfFenix]

Lex rowing the boat at the beginning is super funny

[@carolinethompson6592]

What an awesome reaction, ma'am you felt it instantly. Very entertaining guy's and gal 🎉

[@stevemee508]

This was a British take on an American tradition. Check out the Memphis Jug band or Gus Cannon. This was from the 1920s and 30s and part of the blues scene. People made their own instruments to play the dances in rural communities. I bought this with my first girlfriend in 1970 and then in the 1990s played in a jug band in the UK. this was one of our staples and always went down well. Great fun to play!

[@digitaltamer]

Love the actual video. Just something about it. Great song. Can't help but smile when I hear this song.

[@papaquonis]

While it's a pretty fun song, it always amazes me that it's actually the third best selling single of all time.

[@beriandavies2111]

This sums up 70's summers growing up perfectly. I loved it then, I love it now. A real feelgood tune. It was used in an anti drink driving ad campaign on TV many years later. It also reached number 3 in the US Billboard Charts, selling 30 million or so records worldwide.

My brothers and I used to laugh at this song when it would come on the oldies radio station when we were kids. Lol. It sounded like something from the Charlie Chaplin days like pre War World II era like 1930s or older. Fast pianos, banjo old and jazz blues or hillbilly type music. Decades later as an adult was shocked to find out that this song barely came out in the 1970s
