Musician

The Resume

    (March 21, 1946- )
    Lead singer, songwriter, guitarist, keyboard, harmonica and accordion player for Mungo Jerry
    Recorded 'In the Summertime'

Why he might be annoying:

    He is a one hit wonder.
    Let's just say oral health is not his primary concern.
    He formed Mungo Jerry in 1970 and is the only remaining member after countless line-up changes.
    Mungo Jerry is a skiffle band that employs such items as whiskey jugs, washboards, comb & paper, washtub bass and other homemade instruments.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He got the name for the band from T.S. Eliot's poem 'Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer.'
    'In the Summertime' was an international smash in 1970, reaching the Top 10 in the U.S. and #1 for seven weeks in the U.K.
    The single has sold more than 20 million copies.
    He wrote 'Feels Like I'm in Love' for Elvis, but died before he could record it, so Kelly Marie recorded it with a disco beat, taking it to #1 in the U.K. in 1980.
