Chart performance

It was written by Jacques Dutronc, Jacques Lanzmann and Joe Strange and produced by Barry Murray and Mungo Jerry's lead vocalist Ray Dorset.[2] Adapted from Dutronc's French original "Et moi, et moi, et moi",[3] the song entered the UK Singles Chart in July 1973 and reached No. 3 staying for twelve weeks on the chart.[4][5]

It was the first Mungo Jerry single to be issued in the UK only as a conventional 45 r.p.m. two-track single without picture sleeve. Their first six had all been maxi-singles with picture sleeves, playing at 33 r.p.m. and containing three or four tracks in total, although in some cases, limited editions of two-track 45 r.p.m. pressings had been made available for jukeboxes.[6]

gollark: This is esolangs. We do not do things manually, unless we do.
gollark: I *will* continue use of `they`, for general convenience and the ability to conveniently ignore gender entirely.
gollark: Your criticism², while interesting, ultimately fails. Consider: you have *responded* to my criticism [see screenshot], despite claiming that this would not occur. This is an evident contradiction.It is also clear that, contra to your original claim #2, gollariosity has *increased* as a result of your actions.
gollark: I wholeheartedly disagree with removal of apioderivative words.1. This is dubious. Current research suggests nonlinear apioformic effects, where high use of apio-derived words leads to increased use due to memetic contamination, rather than a conserved/fixed level of apiodensity.2. I am, in any case, inevitable. Additionally, I do not consider this good.3. This appears to contradict #1 somewhat. We have also proven unable to displace the "apioform"/"bee" meme, despite previous attempts. If you want to remove it, come up with better memetics.
gollark: Wrong.
