Wonder Why

Wonder Why 7: Mungo Jerry


Listen Later

The seventh edition of Wonder Why is one for the books. Taking a trip  back to the summer of 1970, @chadsmart and @mikedekalb examine the hit  and "career" of English artist Ray Dorsett, pka Mungo Jerry. Mungo Jerry  had a summertime hit with "In the Summertime." A catchy jingle that  peaked at #3 on the Billboard chart and then Mungo Jerry was only heard  from again if you were in Europe. Why was there not a follow up hit?

Before the discussion begins, Mike talks about attending a recent  concert by previous Wonder Why artist, Thomas Dolby.  After the Mungo  Jerry discussion, Mike and Chad turn the focus to their picks of the  month.  Find out what Gary Cherone, Tupac and Scott Caan have in common.

This episode was originally recorded in 2018 for the Jittery Monkey Podcast Network.
