When thinking about quintessential summertime songs released over the years, many tunes come to mind, but if you’re looking for a song that best encapsulates all the good-time vibes of the season, you’d be hard-pressed to top Mungo Jerry’s classic “In the Summertime.” There’s something timeless about the simplistic joy that characterizes this jaunty little tune from 1970, which is probably why it shot to the top of the charts that year and remains a staple in most summertime playlists to this day. And all those aforementioned good-vibes and simplistic joys are in full effect in this classic video, which just might put a smile on your face bigger than Ray Dorset’s sideburns (which is really saying something…those are some epic chops)! Enjoy.
