In the summertime when the weather is hot You can stretch right up and touch the sky When the weather’s fine You got women, you got women on your mind Have a drink, have a drive Go out and see what you can find

Mungo Jerry Band

Mungo Jerry probably don’t get the attention they deserve these days despite their funky blend of rock, good-time blues and raucous pop.

"In the Summertime" by the British rock band Mungo Jerry was the first maxi-single in the world. A 7-inch record played at 33 1/3 RPM instead of 45, it had for room for two other songs: "Mighty Man" and "Dust Pneumonia Blues."

Mungo Jerry

In The Summertime is one of the most recognisable songs and epitomised the Summer of 1970. It was also the biggest hit for British rock/folk/pop/blues band

A.k.a. the original hipsters.
