T.Rex - The Groover (Official Promo Video) [HD]
For the first time ever, Demon Music Group invites you to watch T.Rex’s promo for ‘The Groover’, in HD quality. June 2024 marked 50 years since ‘The Groover’ reached number 4 on the UK singles chart, also charting strongly in Germany and reaching the top 100 in Japan. In the USA ‘Midnight’ was replaced by ‘Born to Boogie’ on the b-side. In the photographer’s studio footage in the video, Marc is wearing distinctive Yves Saint Laurent glasses, purchased in France, while the live concert footage was likely shot by legendary rock photographer Dick Polak.
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
