One of those novelty songs, that one would wish away, but the tune sticks in in ones mind, one can't.

How about that it’s the ONLY song associated with Mungo Jerry?

[ifinnegan]

Great song. I was surprised to find out he is British.

[Steely Tom]

Summer between freshman and sophomore years of high school. I think it was the last truly carefree summer of my life.

The weird novelty song Timothy was also on the radio that summer.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Yeah, a total one-hit wonder. I might have been the only kid around who knew that Mungo Jerry's name came from T. S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. I still have a copy of that somewhere.

[FreeperCell]

Love that song. Timothy. Rupert Holmes made that song happen.

[UnwashedPeasant]

Great feel good song.

[Fungi]

Exactly. Hate hearing it hate the song. But somehow i keep hearing it. A one hit wonder POS. But it works for him. Life goes on.

[Michael.SF.]

Ever knew that! Thanks for that bit of trivia

Count me as one who loves the song!

You made me look it up. Never heard of it, and it was weirder than I expected. Thanks!

It’s a group not a person.

[nickcarraway]

That is a weird song. It was before my time, but I’ve heard it a few times.

[tallyhoe]

Nice song I love it..

[ifinnegan]

There’s a main dude. He and the group are British. Ray Dorset is essentially Mungo Jerry, although his group members on that song were great.

If her Daddy’s rich
take her out for a meal
If her Daddy’s poor
Just do what you feel

[I give it a 71 because I can dance to it...]

[Lazamataz]

Take a drink,
take a drive,
go out and get a DUI....

[cyclotic]

Good. I’ve had Bus Stop by the Hollies rambling through my head the last couple days. Maybe this will replace it.

[SamAdams76]

I liked “Timothy”. It got played on WRKO in Boston during the summer of 1971. I was only 9 years old and didn’t get the cannibalism connection until I was older.

Thank you for that research and factoid. I always wondered where that name came from.

[Eccl 10:2]

Nice! Laugh of the day. Thank you.
