In 2000, Mundy was dropped by Epic while working on his second album, The Moon is a Bullethole, which was about to be recorded. Although a four-track EP of that title was released, much of the material for the cancelled album was eventually incorporated into 24 Star Hotel, Mundy's 2002 album.
24 Star Hotel was released on Camcor Records - a label Mundy himself set up, primarily funded by his royalties from the Romeo and Juliet soundtrack. Camcor Records is named for the Camcor River, a popular fishing spot, which runs through the town of Birr. The album contained the song "July", an ode to the joys of the Irish summer, which gained heavy airplay throughout the summer months, and is, for Irish audiences at least, Mundy's signature tune. Other record labels based in Birr include Roesy's Blue Coak Records and Canabrism's Podcomplex Records, both artists being former schoolmates of Mundy.
In 2003 Mundy also contributed to Afro Celt Sound System's album Seed, and to Even Better than the Real Thing Vol. 1 with a cover version of the Shakira song Whenever, Wherever, only with the two words in the title switched around.
In May 2004, Mundy released his third album, Raining Down Arrows, which entered the Irish album chart at number 1. The album has since gone platinum.
Mundy's collaboration with Sharon Shannon on the track "Galway Girl" has become a cult hit recently, thanks to RTÉ 2fm playing the track every Friday since Will Leahy took on the drive time show.
Mundy is the cousin of Fine Gael TD Olwyn Enright and the nephew of long-standing former TD and Senator Tom Enright.

Mundy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"Wake up baby,
You've got to take a peep,
It's all there for the grabs,
You'd want to stop bitchin'
'Cause this could be the last time"
This could be the last time..
You don't want them thinking
You're just another fool
It's all there for the grabs,
You'd want to start itchin'
'Cause this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Time, you'd want to start using it,
Time, yeah, you'd want to stop abusing it
Time, you'd want to start making it,
I know what it's like if you don't stop taking it
I know what it's like if you don't stop taking it now
So stop taking it now
Stop taking it
Be nice, be wise
And beware when they're hangin'
Around you like flies
It's all there for the grabs,
Well you'd want to start stitchin'
'Cause this could be the last time
This could be the last time
The song "The Last Time" by Mundy is a call to action to live life to the fullest and avoid taking things for granted. The lyrics are a reminder to wake up and seize the day, as it could be the last opportunity to do so. The opening line, "It's time to dig deep", suggests that it is time to find the motivation within oneself to get up and take action. The following line, "Wake up baby, you've got to take a peep", implies that it is time to become aware of one's surroundings and take advantage of the opportunities available.
The second verse encourages the listener to dress smart and walk cool, suggesting that outward appearance can have an impact on how one is perceived by others. The line "You'd want to start itchin'" implies a sense of urgency to take action and make the most of the moment. The chorus reinforces this idea that this could be the last time to do something, emphasizing the importance of using time wisely and not taking it for granted.
The third verse advises the listener to be nice, be wise, and beware of those who may not have their best interests in mind. The line "Well you'd want to start stitchin'" suggests that it is time to be proactive and take action to protect oneself from potential harm. The final line of the chorus once again stresses the importance of making the most of the time one has.
Overall, "The Last Time" is a song about making the most of opportunities and living life to its fullest.
