No Charge is another reason I love the country genre. It grabs you by the heart.
No Charge needs to played over large systems it will soon kill tensions in the Middle East and hard boner's when there is raping and pillaging.
Mungo Jerry did have a few decent songs but Summertime is not one of them.

Christ that guy was a bore.
I love the Disco Duck, by Rick Dees & His Cast Of Idiots his worst No1 of the 70s (US chart). That one ended up on my first ever Apple iPod about 16 years ago as a download. This guy seems thoroughly humourless.
My worst UK No1 of the 70's? Well without wanting to go for some of the more obvious ones like JJ Barrie's No Charge or the Wurzels, consecutive chart toppers in '76 or Little Jimmy and Chuck Berry's My Ding A Ling in '72, another pair of consecutive chart toppers, naff ones come along in pairs it seemed back then, I'm going to pick a song that just never sounded like a UK No1 single to me and really surprises as a follow up to In The Summertime that also went all the way - Mungo Jerry's March 1971 two weeker, Baby Jump. That single well and truly overperformed.

I agree with Loco-Motion by Grandfunk. I love the band to bits, yet the record is garbage. Like the rest of this bloke's rundown.
"Peter Cetera" is enough to give Chicago a honourable mention.
