Deze uit de Verenigd Koninkrijk afkomstige groep werd eind jaren 60 opgericht. De bezetting veranderde steeds, maar Ray Dorset is altijd de frontman geweest. Hun muziek bestaat uit de verschillende stijlen rock, blues, boogie en skiffle.
Inspiratie voor de bandnaam hebben ze gehaald uit het gedicht Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer van T.S. Eliot ‘s Old Possum’s Book Of Practical.
De jaren 70 waren productieve jaren. Ze brachten toen maar liefst 9 albums uit. Ze scoorden in die jaren ook hun grootste hits, waarvan de single in The Summertime de grootste is. Het nummer kwam in vele landen op nummer 1. Het is één van de meest gedraaide zomerliedjes aller tijden.
In de jaren daarna brachten ze nog verschillende albums uit, maar konden ze niet meer het succes uit de jaren 70 evenaren. In 2003 verscheen het album Adults Only.
Songtekst
She wears those micromini dressesHair hanging down her back
She wears those seethrough sweaters
She likes to wear her stockings black
And if I see her tonight
You can bet your life I'll attack
She got beautiful teeth
A toothpaste a man's dream
She got a beautiful form
The best I've ever seen
I'm gonna get her tonight
I don't care where she been
Well I said, "Baby, baby, baby what you doin' to me?"
I said, "Baby, baby, baby what you doin' to me?"
I said, "Baby, baby, baby jump into my dream"
I dream that she was Lady Chatterley
I was the game keeper
I dream that I was Da Vinci
And she was the Monalisa
I dream that I was Humbert
And she was Lolita
Well I said, "Baby, baby, baby what you doin' to me?"
I said, "Baby, baby, baby what you doin' to me?"
I said, "Baby, baby, baby jump into my dream"
She wears those micromini dresses
Hair hanging down her back
She wears those seethrough sweaters
She likes to wear her stockings black
And if I see her tonight
You can bet your life I'll attack
She got beautiful teeth
A toothpaste adman's dream
She got a beautiful form
The best I've ever seen
I'm gonna get her tonight
I don't care where she been
Well I said, "Baby, baby, baby what you doin' to me?"
I said, "Baby, baby, baby what you doin' to me?"
I said, "Baby, baby, baby jump into my dream"
