The game's question

Uncover the story a piece at a time. Has the name come? You can stop there.

Summer 1970. The car packed for the holidays, the windows wound down. The same tune on the radio all the way to the coast. On 13 June, ‘In the Summertime’ reached number one, stayed there for seven weeks and became the best-selling record of the year. Which group sang it? Circle the name together.

  • Mungo Jerry
  • Mud
  • Slade
Need a hint?

Hum the tune as if you were tapping a steering wheel. Then a fruit may help: the first word sounds almost like ‘mango’.

See the answer

Answer: Mungo Jerry – ‘In the Summertime’, seven weeks at number one in 1970.

Why this game : Summer tunes carry the holidays with them – the road, the car and who was squeezed into the back seat.
