Bicycles Recycle ― "The Pushbike Song" by The Mixtures (1970)
"The Pushbike Song" is a song originally recorded by Australian band, The Mixtures, and released in 1970. The single was a chart success, reaching numbers one and two in the Australian and UK charts respectively. It has subsequently been covered by various artists.
Written by brothers Idris and Evan Jones, "The Pushbike Song" was released in 1970 and reached the top-spot for two weeks in the Australian charts in March 1971.
It also proved popular in the UK, reaching the number two spot on January 31st, George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" at number one, and number 31 in Canada.
The song is essentially Mungo Jerry's "In the Summertime" with similar but different lyrics. The Mixtures had previously had a hit with a version of "In The Summertime" in Australia. Mungo Jerry subsequently covered "The Pushbike Song" in 1990.
A music video was created for the song in 1970, which depicted the band and friends, including the model Monica Hughes, riding bicycles through the streets of Melbourne.
Filmed in black and white, it was notable for scenes involving a procession of bicycles, including a penny farthing, and rollerskaters on a busy six-lane Melbourne arterial road and a scene of four members of the band 'riding' a tandem bicycle atop a car transporter travelling at speed across the King Street Bridge in Melbourne.
