Life's for livin' yeah, that's our philosophy
So what would have happened if Marc Bolan(Or Davendra Banheart) decided to take up barrel house piano? This song "In the Summertime" by Mungo Jerry is probably a good idea of what would result.
Aside from the fact that Mungo Jerry is a terrible name this is a great song, a strange mix jug band shuffle left over from the British Skiffle craze juxataposed with 70's sexploitation lyrics.
Yes I know it is the middle of winter.

Yep in sweden is a law that the sport radio has to play this song at least once per week...
YES! i am so glad that someone else in the world recognizes that this song is... is... worth sharing with the rest of the world. i've loved this song ever since i heard it in my dad's car and still thought that old songs came out of old car radios.
Yeah, this is pretty much the best song ever made about summer. I mean, it's got scatting, for fuck's sake! OH NO FAIR i just realized it's GONE!! *sob*
