T- Rex - I Love To Boogie [totp2]

[getarslim]

Listen to the original version of this song by John Lee Hooker Mark just plaigerised it.

[marinazi1]

A WEEK PARODIA ON BOOGIE! How could anyone love it???

[mandr8k]

i love to boogie

every night

[glamfoxbuster]

Is that Billy Kinsey from Liverpool Express on lead guitar???????

[hearditman]

@glamfoxbuster No, it's Miller Anderson who played for a few other bands as well as having a solo career. :-)

[HealyNI89]

3 people don't love to boogie

[dariowestern]

This song was used in a meat industry commercial in Australia about 10 years ago, where the song was never a hit.

[RockNRollFire96]

he ate a sheep before he sung this song^^

[PATUZI]

i can remember he use to be my alarm clock with[ bang a gong] bac in the 70's.

[MrBazboro]

pitty the fuker died in a car crash



[4everClassicrock]

@MrBazboro makes me sad ):  His music will live on!!!

[poem85]

i love the song, the band, marc...forever!

[SuperUrsulab]

brill jive i love this song great beat

[rnrmmaa]

Its actually a direct rip off of Teenage Boogie by Webb Pierce 1957. Google it or check it on youtube.

[pwcf5]

@rnrmmaa

Well spotted sir.!!

[hailknopfler2]

@previousbowiefan i have a feeling in the very bottom of my stomach that his hair was gonna fall out anyway. R.I.P Marc Bolan

[FrancoHitlini]

reminds me not to try climbing trees in the car

[psicorfo]

@johnny991965 Because they both use a blues progression and have the word "boogie" in them?

[johnny991965]

Basically a cover of The Johnny Burnette trio's 'Rockabilly boogie', but a good version nonetheless...

[MEDINAHSHRINER]

Whose mama is that dancing and lost their cherry walking home?

crank it up!

[Drimed1]

miss you!!! Still after all these years

[nwleeuw]

T. Rex was a hero in the 70's, like Eddie Cochran was in the 50's , rock'n roll forever !!

[hearditman]

Short Haaaaaiiirrrrr!!!!

[hanaogra]

Shoooort hair!!

[kishanna09]

Marc Bolan is a legend..! too young, too fast...

[yhohoho1124]

short hair?

[lyndloo]

Marc was so cool!!!!!

[leeleebaby2100]

Who cares whether he's heavier or slimmer. The guy was awesome. This slow version is very listenable - and, he's still cute! Nobody played the camera better than he!

[leeleebaby2100]

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

The short looked good on him when he was a teenager and had a slimmer face, but in this case it didn't complement his facial shape at all.

[fattymattyweasel]

@00spd00 Grow the up.

[ae1y2]

NICE dancing people

[LedZeppelinZaku1]

now i'm not entirely sure, but i think that he likes to boogie.

[medic357]

Glam Rock's Cowboy gettin down......oooooowwwwwwww yaaaaa!

[thesoulcrew]

r.i.p marc bolan you left us to early . god bless

[ladyislingering]

Marc looks ill. I love this song, though.

[genealogyfan]

@ladyislingering His hair is too short - that's the problem. It's just occurred to me why all the men I've really liked have had a thick head of really curly hair...

[QueenReigns1]

@genealogyfan

I have a thick head, no curly hair though. lol

[baby874]

i love this song! =)

[TheMikesMaiden]

Johnny Depp face i swear

[ellycat]

@TheMikesMaiden A drug and drink ravished face I'm afraid..

[jumbolandia]

@TheMikesMaiden the first name that came to mind

[TheMikesMaiden]

Love youuuuuuuuuuu Marc misssssssssssssss you sooooooo much can't take it

[turkishpower08]

Omg! What happened to Marc's hair? It looked so cool!

[RoryNights]

Super clip !! Thanks for posting this :)

[tiranchula]

Just the most beautiful man! 

[rrhousesitter]

I never got into T Rex until after he was gone.....This man was a LEGEND.. amazing...miss you Marc

[br0therbasil]

Miss you, Mark...

[gpiesw3]

the coolest what a shame we lost him so early FAB

[BlueClockwork]

OMG where the hell is all his hair?!?! :'(

[HISATdotCOM]

@BlueClockwork

Marc went through a period of having short hair which he'd grown out again by 1977

[margethemouse]

Marc, Marc, what have you done to your beautiful, luscious long hair?

[becky1455]

love the shakey thing he does with his voice!! 2.12

[noahsdelight]

A Man of many talents, Thankyou Marc xoxo N.Z.

[Peacharia1]

I love the way he moves his head around and yeah he is cute!!

[curly5599]

his slowed down robot voice might be because his hair gave him his power to sing excitedly

P.S im a realy big tyranasaurous rex fan

[Snotra]

God save this queen!

[stefff100]

cool mother mark

[missmarypickford]

he looks kinda out of it...

[Colleen1807]

@missmarypickford So

[missmarypickford]

@Colleen1807 a needle pulling thread..

[UntitledNo6]

Man, audience 's rockin' out like crazy.

[jroo3017]

"Bolan pretty boogie!" lol! Love it!

[getarslim]

@dele520, 'get stuffed' who the fxxk do you think you are? I am 60, saw wee Marc and Mickey Finn as Trex many times, I didn't say they weren't good, I only pointed out that Marc definately lifted this song from John Lee Hooker. So don't get personal mate I am entitled to my opinion.

[hearditman]

Get stuffed, lol.

[HarveyBritRocker]

He looks kinda cool with short hair but hes cooler with long hair

[MrSavage721]

he looked pretty good with short hair

[mobyboy]

@MrSavage721 not really - I think he was born to be in a hippie chic

[DiluteMeDown]

RIP bolan boy

[McDjB1]

To be honest, John Lee Hooker's I Love To Boogie sounds nothing like this. I bet Marc hadn't even heard it. If you think this is ripped off something it is undoubtedly ripped from Teenage Boogie. Bolan even said so himself. :P

[Demondanable]

orsom az

[animal90sFreak5]

a legend,an unsung one indeed.

[Bluuuzeman]

This mans voice is so T Rex. The reason he is who he is. LEGEND.

[getarslim]

This song was ripped off from John Lee Hooker, of course,

The little red rooster and the little red hen, they left the club around half past ten, sayin' I love to boogie, I love to boogie, I love to boogie on a Saturday night. Check out John Lee Hooker.

[McDjB1]

Yeah, but I Love To Boogie beats John Lee Hooker into dust and pisses on him. :D Merry Christmas

[getarslim]

You kids are so sad

[DominoGray]

@getarslim

We're not listening to John Lee Hooker. We're listening to T-Rex

I'd imagine the instant someone feels compelled to call everybody else sad, it's a reflection

[dele520]

@getarslim I'm 55yrs old who's J L Hooeve!!!!!! Marc still lives in our hearts GET STUFFED

[abschnaddeldidaddel]

[miniblig]

Me and my friend made such a cool Jazz dance to this!

[Zzxhing]

Youtube it...keep a little Marc in our hearts!

[dele520]

@Zzxhing He's allways there man! No worries!

[spreadjoy]

This version is so much better than the album track

[electricslims]

Love this version.

[mistamg3]

i remember hearing this song on a juice commercial.. i love this song though!

[uckyoumo]

Micky Finn..lol..Memories!!

[StuBri1964]

Nope, Gloria defo wasnt the reason, his young life was-it caught up-.... you know the feeling as many of us do, most top folks are based on the up-bringing...

[jkwasere]

Gloria did cause alot of it though!

[DAVWAVE]

Oh my, I need to have you explain how Gloria did not ness his life up.

[DAVWAVE]

Marc's career got all messed up about the same time he locked horns with Gloria. I wonder...

[dragonfitter]

his career got messed up about the same time he started sticking vast amounts of cocaine up his nose

[jkwasere]

both of you are right!

[indigo9nightsky]

I agree.

[nusaindo1999]

What does "cadillac bone" mean?

[HotSummerof1976]

Legend..

[Thomaspwgy]

This was a time when he had put a little too much weight on! Great song !

[itstoogoodtopassby]

its funny people say he was on his way back as though he was old but he was still only in his 20s but he did so much some may think that for the amount of work he did he was alot older i love to boogie was a second time around but he was still in his 20s

[DAVWAVE]

What "they" were saying was Marc was on his way back up the charts and making his music, he jettisoned some dead weight(although he got rid of some great band members, too), and was getting his music right. This song does not knock me out though.

[itstoogoodtopassby]

marc was always making good music its just he was in front its only now we understand the sound and appreciate these songs and yes he was very young to me it wasnt a comeback because he never left some fans did, know they understand and the test of time has one

[boppingelf]

i luuuuv to boogie yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !

[Cormy]

Would have been as big as Bowie if he had lived.

Awesome talent.

[ItsBenYAY]

oh no! where is all his hair???

and the bongo player? =[

still good though!!

[bluesbrother37]

He cut his hair and Mickey Finn, bongo player left in 74.

[KIERSZTEN]

he was on his way back  rip mr feld love you 4 ever

[ellycat]

On his way back from a drug problem actually.

Still superb live version though.

[10track]

Good stuff

[ppaulmorris]

Not as popular as some of his others - but by far and away miles better than some of his repetitive dirges. Great.

[delflord]

There are no repetative dirges just great rock n roll

Delf n Kaz x

[ppaulmorris]

Not as popular as some of his others - but by far and away miles better than some of his repetitive dirges. Great.

[richiecockburn]

lenged legend legend long live marc bolan

[811952]

i was watching this song on top of the pops in the whitsmiths arms in bermondsey in 1973 it was my 21st birthday great song from a great group

[onepixedpup]

this song wasn't released till late 75 I believe

[Twiglady07]

If that says 1976 it was a year before he died, unless it says 1970, i'm not sure! lol

[dvdsmlprstylr]

A bit flat - the later one is waaaay better!

[Phaedrax2]

I didn't recognise him to start with! Love this song though :-D

[MERIDITH56]

Can anyone but me see that this is a far cry from Marc's usual magnetic performances? He was an Entertainer,and loved to be in the spotlight. Here he looks pale and is on aut-pilot.

[eddysteele]

Marc was never a big fan of appearing on TOTP that could be the reason

[skilski2003]

Gloria days.

[ChromedToes]

Yeah he looks knackered.. like as in sleep depro. and as Eddiesteel points out Marc was not keen on TOTP at all. Hardly a good combination.

Its a rare occasion that we ever see Marc like this. Worthy of reflection on the 99.999%of his other performances. Anybody know of any other lack lustre performances?

[missremorse]

hey...that's great.

[heybodiddley2]

this song is the same as teenage boogie by webb pierce -

[frankfranklyn]

I still have "Electric Warrior" the album in mint condition; in my opinion the *best* Marc Bolan/T Rex album

[xeebo]

Great live sounding performance!

[tenagain2002]

WOW I'v still got the original 45 !

[lime2659]

Just wonderful. Reminds me of Status Quo,but this is slower.

[KIERSZTEN]

love it
