- For the first time since its original broadcast on this day 50 years ago, Demon Music Group are elated to share T.Rex’s 'The Groover' performance on Top Of The Pops. We’ve remastered the performance and soundtrack for your pleasure. Let us know if this performance has brought back any memories in the comments below. 👇
T.Rex - the creation of Marc Bolan, the band’s leader, creative director and sole song-writer - was born out of the late-1960s’ hippy counter-culture. Bolan’s road to superstardom took him from 18-year-old folk singer to proto-punk guitar thrasher in John’s Children, via the blissed-out Tolkien-washed mysticism of Tyrannosaurus Rex to fully-fledged Glam Rock idol in T.Rex. Following their breakthrough 1970 hit, Ride A White Swan, T.Rex became the biggest pop phenomenon of the new decade, scoring chart-topping, award-winning singles and LPs across Europe, the Far East, and Australia, while finding success in North America via the top-10 single Get It On (Bang A Gong) and hit albums Electric Warrior and The Slider. Decades after Bolan’s tragically early death, the influence of T.Rex is still felt across the music world. His status as one of the leading British music stars has recently been recognised with the induction of T.Rex into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Lyrics:
Some call me Arnie
Some name me Slim
It don't make no difference
Cos I move right in
I'm The Groover
Cos I move right in yeah
They call me The Groover
When I'm on the floor
The kids yell for more, more, more
Some call me Star King
Some name me stud (yes they do)
It don’t make no difference
Cos I move in the mud
I'm The Groover
Cos I move right in yeah
They call me The Groover
When I'm on the floor
The kids yell for more, more, more
I said sing it to me children
I'm The Groover honey, yeah
I'm The Groover honey, yeah
I'm The Groover honey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, some call me Jeepster
And some name me lame
It don't make no difference
Man you know I ain’t tame
I'm The Groover
Cos I move right in yeah
They call me The Groover
When I'm on the floor
The kids yell for more, more, more

Bolan’s dirty guitar sound is unmistakable and highly influential.
@sMansGuitars absolutely! I wish I could forget that day and the days following, but I can’t. I remember when a friend came over and gave me a gift of the LP Dandy in the Underworld, and when I saw the cover for the first time, I had a horrible premonition. Several months later it proved to be genuine. 😪😪
So true ❤❤ oh i listened such many times. I know some influences in some singers and groups... Thanks to post today and i will go through his music >> alldaylong today ❤

Last T Rex single to get into UK top 10. Really liked this. Raunchy stuff.
I love their sound, which is unconditionally uplifting.
I always thought this single was very tongue in cheek, like Marc knows he can get away with it.
I will love T. Rex forever 🥰🙆♂️🤸♂️💪👊. Like #67 👍.
our Main Man!
" Bolan likes to rock now..
He did and He Still Does.
Groovy 🤩💖
Very good song!....Like it!
glam rock.
50 years ago now , wow
What a bold statement only Bolan could do that!
This is one of the few TRex songs that has actually improved with age. It sounds amazing!
this is such a jam
Amor da minha vida! 🥰💙✨
T-R-E-X!!!

Gods of Music 🤘 🔥🔥💥⚡
Greatest Genius superbad supersonic and he still in our universe

Marc Bolan saved my life💜
Saved mine too when I was at boarding school and had child depression, he gave me a reason to live
My God! I remember watching this the first tine round when I was just 5 years old!
ME TOO i WAS 11. WE WERE WATCHING ILLEGALLY AT MY BOARDING SCHOOL WHICH MADE IT ALL THE MORE EXCITING
What a gem of a genius
Great song
🎉.....on the floor
On holiday at Butlins Ayr when this came out One of Bolans best
Wow this clip found at last -always trying to find it -thought lost -his heaviest song 'love it
12 when this was out -and this totp appearance was my birthday -1St june -watched it when it was broadcast
❤
Uniquely heavy rhythm, vocal, and sound by T.Rex
Love this ❤
Thanks for sharing this gem
Apart from the boring ending, this track still sounds amazing. A real grooving hard rocker. And the lads seemed to have fun performing it. I've never seen this TOTP clip before. Tanx very much! :-)
I love the first two minutes and thirty seconds of The Groover. It has a unique sound but Bolan had gotten lazy lyrically by this point. If he had worked on the arrangement the final minute could have been killer. Still an amazing piece of rock history seeing the classic line up’s final appearance on TOTP.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
この曲のシングル盤持ってる。スゴいカオスミュージック。
Good this footage found
Les couloirs de la peluche 🏰📕Class them👍🖐️

T Rex sang the groover,zeppelin zog nach the roover..😊
マークボランはジョンレノンとまでは行かないが、ポップソングの作曲数は恐ろしいくらいだ。😮
KALMIYH

Holly, Lennon and Bolan. All taken too young. The world robbed of genius by bad weather, lunatics……..and women drivers 😢
Bad mono sound
