About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of Mungo Jerry's hit 'In the Summertime' and features guest Danny Tamberelli.

Of course you know all about Beatlemania, but did you know about Mungomania? You probably think that’s some sort of joke, but it’s not…Mungomania was a real thing. Off the back of the hype from ONE good festival performance in 1970, Mungo Jerry’s “In the Summertime” went on to become one of the top-selling singles of all time, topping the charts in 20 countries. This week, we’re joined by actor and musician Danny Tamberelli to discuss muttonchops, washboards, jug-blowing, drinking and driving, and all the reasons we don’t know MORE songs from Mungo Jerry.
