Line 3:

The three number ones of Jive Bunny were "Swing the Mood", "That's What I Like" and "[[Let's Party]]". All three songs used [[sampling (music)|sampling]] and synthesisers to combine pop music from the early [[rock and roll]] era together into a medley. The results were somewhat like the earlier [[Stars on 45]], who actually hired "sound-alike" singers and musicians to recreate the music from scratch

Each song used a sampled instrumental theme to join the songs together. "Swing the Mood" used [[Glenn Miller]]'s famous "[[In The Mood]]" (a recording dating back to 1940), and "That's What I Like" featured the TV theme from "''[[Hawaii- 5-0"]]'', a police drama.

Jive Bunny and the Mastermixers were in reality a father and son DJ team from [[Rotherham]] in [[South Yorkshire]]. They have continued to work under the name, but with less chart success.
