The thunderous opening track from Mr Loaf's epic debut album, 'Bat Out Of Hell,' that has shifted over 40,000,000 copies worldwide. The song, and everything else on the album, was written by genius composer Jim Steinman, who is also responsible for megahits such as Bonnie Tyler's 'Total Eclipse of the Heart.' 'Bat Out Of Hell' clocks in at just under 10 minutes and is one rock's true anthems... and to think that record executive Clive Davis rejected the project and so harshly dismissed Steinman's songwriting: "You don't know how to write a song... Have you ever listened to pop music? Have you ever heard any rock-and-roll music?"

From Quiz Slightly Politically Incorrect Song Lyrics

Answer: Mungo Jerry

"Have a drink, have a drive Go out and see what you can find"! Beautiful! These days, the only thing you are likely to find is a cop holding a Breathalyser! Later in the song, they sing: "Speed along the lane Do a ton or a ton an' twenty-five" Brilliant! We will drink AND speed! What a fantastic idea! "In The Summertime" was a hit in the early 70's for Mungo Jerry. In Australia, it was also a hit for The Mixtures, taking advantage of a ban by local radio playing songs by overseas artists. This was in reaction to the record companies insisting that the stations play everything suppiled to them by the companies. As a result, a number of local bands took advantage of the situation and hastily recorded that which was otherwise not being played from overseas. "In The Summertime" resulted. Both versions were succesful in Australia following the ban.
