About The Song
“Baby Jump” is a popular song by Mungo Jerry, released as a single in 1971. Written by Ray Dorset, the lead vocalist and guitarist of Mungo Jerry, it became the band’s second No. 1 single in the UK. Originally a concert favorite under a different title, Dorset rewrote the lyrics when it was chosen as the follow-up to their hit “In the Summertime”. The song features a distinctive groove that captivated audiences, with elements of rock ‘n roll, boogie piano, and a heavier sound compared to their previous work. “Baby Jump” showcases Mungo Jerry’s versatility, departing from their jug-cum-skiffle style and embracing a more energetic rock vibe. The song is included in the album “Baby Jump: The Definitive Collection,” which was released in 2005 and showcases Mungo Jerry’s work.
