Teenage Dream - Marc Bolan and T. Rex

[paulph12002]

Not Marc's finest moment, this video looks like a Spinal Tap outtake.

[painlessissuicide]

poor Knives...

[manfromatlantis99]

he looks more like billy squier here than rocky horror...

[keysaysassah]

LOVE THIS SONG <3 My teacher gave me his bowie and T-rex albums in high school and I've been addicted ever since!

[scholesclass]

the melody was fu*king legendary, but then he went ott and died

[LilOrphanFunkhauser]

Why are there pilots dotted randomly amongst the crowd of awkward bastards?

[ClubViking63]

Bolan got fat, was not pleasant to see, but we loved him again, when he met with a tree....

[senorhand]

Awe, this is kinda sad. I love me some T.Rex., but it is clear that audiences in the 70's felt just as bored watching a one-man lip sync show, as they do today.

[AlexJScherling]

Hi, I'm here because Scott Pilgrim introduced me to this amazing song.

[emailroy2002]

Damn! so artistic!!! I wish artist today are this artistic and true and superior!!! I would definitely buy all of their records legit!

[MrMagicMovies]

It's odd how the audience just sat there with blank expressions on their faces

[vinobody]

when u can forget about the queer effects...u r left with a very good song!

[DAVWAVE]

@vinobody he would look less queer without the lbs. haha

[radwallner1994]

how can the audience just sit that eased on the stairs?!?! I would have freaked out if I had been there! :)

[mymusic777ify]

@radwallner1994 hi again! i absolutely agree,looks like they have no idea who Marc is or even enjoys themselves.I'd be screaming my lungs out and cry like a baby or at least have some shred of rythm in my body!

[classicrockfan555]

I think this was the first video I put a thumbs up on when I got a youtube account. I'm back again- I've learnt keyboards chords for the song.

[OutOfMyMindd]

I just about DIED of happiness when this was played in Scott Pilgrim :')

[mymusic777ify]

I'm sad 'cause you're not here anymore but so glad you once were! it makes my life a little better.Wish you were here , miss you so much ,the best part of everything!

[mymusic777ify]

I'm sad 'cause you're not here anymore but so glad you once were! it makes my life a little better.Wish you were here , miss you so much ,the best part of everything!

[balisoda]

Jesus, just look at the 'dead' audience, clearly this man was ahead of his time!

[pagliaccinodlemantra]

Scott Pilgrim...i love that movie :D

[EyeSea4VseMoHajaEsAi]

It just struck me that he could've played an awesome Dr. Frankenfurter. God, I love Marc, R.I.P.

[garyography]

@EyeSea4VseMoHajaEsAi This always reminded me of the opening song of Rocky Horror, lol. Great minds think alike!

[DontShakeItUp]

He looks a bit like Robert Smith here.

[ASHEKEH]

Such an amazing voice and real, deep lyrics with meaning behind them! Such a shame Katy Perry had to use the same song title and override this true talent.

[TheImagineallthepeop]

SCOOTT PILGRIIIIM!! :DD

[Superawesomeaccount1]

Marc is in my teenage dream!!! >;D

[mrianmark]

I photographed T Rex in 1975 in Canada. To see the shots go to ianmarkmusicphotos (.com)

[spiritofbebella]

One of Bolan's best songs... but by '74 he'd become a pantomime caricature of himself.

[1stMistyMist1]

Great upload !!

Thanks !!!

[MrBurgundy76]

GOD I WISH I LIVED THROUGH THE 70S!!! 2000S SUCK HOT ASS!

[GivepeaceachanceJL]

I hate how Katy Perry's song of the same name gets more views in a day than this far better song has gotten in a year.

[et7waage1]

Great song and performance! Thanks for posting!

[NDestHukt10]

Well the bands nowadays care more about their outfit then real music!

[MatthiasCorvinu]

Two thoughts come into my head after watching this. One is, that was one silly ass guitar solo and the second is, this guy reminds me of Frank-n-furter of Rocky Horror Picture Show

[MrSlimjimk]

the guy with the moustache looks to old to be in a kids pop show audience. He looks like a smart arse... far too straight for the pop wonderment that was the t-Rex experience

[lang1515]

is he lip syncing or something? the vocals don't always match up to his lips.

[JLWing77]

I'm here partly because of Scott Pilgrim and partly because I really like T. Rex. R.I.P. Mr. Bolan.

[kristeenloveset]

hi, i'm not here because of scott pilgrim.

[wolfeman323232]

@kristeenloveset i learned this song from scott pilgrim, but thats not the reason why im here. its because i love this camera

[JakeAmdahl]

This dude looks like Quinn from dexter

[pagliaccinodlemantra]

I send this to a Slipknot fan and he told me "No shit, this guys are so old, where is the ROCK!?" and i cant imagine what i just heard, i feel a Great Shame of this Guy

[pagliaccinodlemantra]

@pagliaccinodlemantra sorry for the last, it is: I FEEL A GREAT SHAME FOR THIS GUY

[stophiemeister]

Cool :D oh and there aren't any dislikes!!! I'm so shocked I could cry...

[ashoka4327]

No matter how fat Marc Bolan got, he was still hot, hot, hot!

[LucasAssisF]

The only "Teenage Dream" that should exist.

[MrFukitt]

HE WAS AND STILL IS MY HERO, BUT ALTHO THE SONG IS BRILL, HIS ACT ON HERE IS ABIZMAL, EVEN THE AUDIENCE CANT KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE, HE LOST THE WAY - ITS OBVIOUS, ALL THAT ON THE SPOT PONCING AROUND LIKE AN OLD TART IS BEYOND ME...MUST HAVE BEEN ALL THE BOOZE AND COKE :(

[diegosantiago1996]

have to go all the way to page 4 just to find this.

[keithcote11]

whatever happened to the REAL teenage dream?

[Sackser7420]

i fell in love with this song thanks to Scott Pilgrim Vs The World XD

[MELTDOWN1980]

@Sackser7420 me too

[classicrockfan555]

Katy Perry can get stuffed. THIS is music.

[thekhongkhang]

"LESBIANS"??...another "L" scott.....

[mountain824]

@thekhongkhang not not not you this don't understand....seem you don't know him...lol

[Ravenmoon6661]

@thekhongkhang I'm in lesbians with you

[ritter89]

What's with all the stuffy squares in that audience? Looks more like an insurance seminar then a television rock show. Seems like they're immune to Bolan's glamatronic posh bullets. I love the fact that he's semi bloated here and yet still moves like he did in '72.

[BolanKeith]

I love the way Marc is just standing in between all those other people who look so drab and "square man".He's got this great look of superiority and 'FU...I'm Bolan".

[kjctubeful]

Creek? Is that you Jonathan? Just kidding. I loved him so much back in the day... a small part of me died with him. Thanks for putting this up... he will always be so beautiful. :o)

[shatterdwing]

Sigourney weaver? I alway thought he looked like the little fella from Take That. With added hair obviously.

[tazzabanda]

nigga u gay. this nigga gay.

[thorpsy100]

he does it best and allways will

[classicrockfan555]

You could say Marc Bolan is my guardian angel.

[Prnnce]

Heh. I expected the singer to be a black dude whit an afro.

I was only partialy wrong.

[Zunecrazy]

Oh and as much as I prefer this one, Katy Perry has nothing to do with it anyway so really, who cares...

[Zunecrazy]

David Bowie's "Lady Stardust" makes so much more sense now.

[TheJunito65]

He and Sigourney Weaver look like twins separated at birth..

He left way too soon

[classicrockfan555]

@TheJunito65 He left way too soon, but he will never leave my heart.

[LiquidPete2099]

This totally sounds like it belongs in the Rocky Horror picture show.

[garyography]

@LiquidPete2099 Agreed

[domdeltorto]

pop levi

[rslessix]

true STAR !!!!!!

[frogtw15]

moja ukochana piosenka 

[onthemove31]

rofl this is amazing =)

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

Well, it goes without saying that this shits all over Katy Perry's Teenage Dream (even though I like her too).

[TheThroney]

man is movements are so funny in this song.. this is great

[dothedog]

It's a great song, incredibly honest, but take a look in the mirror Marc. For a time he was so full of himself, no wonder the kids turned away.

[wyokid999]

The REAL teenage dream. Katy Perry's is more like a nightmare really...

[Sabbotage]

@mountain824 She didn't sing this song, she just has a song with the same title.

[mountain824]

@Sabbotage ok. thanks.....i don't really know him.....I saw the song title just...:) )

[Meouwww]

@mountain824 By the way, I didn't hear her version of THAT song. just a song with the same name.

[Meouwww]

@mountain824

You don't like his or her version?

Oh lol i know, who Katy Perry is. What I wanted to say is that she is nothing compared to this.

[Meouwww]

who is katy perry?

[Meouwww]

He is so handsome <3

[LedZeppelinZaku1]

No one will remember Katy Perry in a few years, but this song will always be a classic.

[cybergillcybergill]

thank you so much for this song it brings back so many memories from child hood. excellant

[kives1985]

It's like the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

[dustasdu]

@kives1985

Hahahaha

[morval99]

@mtaylor848  :-)

[assburgerssyndrome]

I hate the fact every time I see teenage dream part of me clicks on it hoping its this song

[blueblahblip]

Shame that no one doesn't really know T-Rex.

But now that this song come out in Scott Pilgrim, it's going to get

popular..

[nodice333]

anyone else think he looks like johnny depp, ? depp should do a marc bolan and t rex movie

[drstevie]

who writes songs like this now ?? no-one.

[mountain824]

@drsteviae  Hi, this song wrote Marc Bolan l973

Recorded August 1973, United States Released 9 February 1974

[hiq11]

@mountain824 it was a rethorical question...

[chodiestchode]

@mountain824 This song wrote him or he wrote this song?

[falukorven123]

@drstevie Seems like people are afraid of doing this good music nowadays... :(

[boogieelaine]

@drstevie no one atall as no one as the talent like him :0)

[yakmatoob]

hey man, what does this song mean?

[Debaserxx]

I just turned 20 a few weeks back.

And this was the first song to play on my mp3's randomizer.

...Whatever happened to the teenage dream indeed?

[morval99]

@Debaserxx Congradulations, I turned 20 almost 19 years ago, wanna trade? - enjoy your youth, beleive me, it goes before you know it...

[moo135bl7]

cilla black

[drstevie]

miming...but what a tune...no rock band , in the last 35 years, comes within a million miles of Marc Bolans talent !!

[dunhamba]

Sux it's obviousely not live

[thelittlebombardier]

I love the way in the middle of all the flapping about and posing he starts to smile at 0.56!  I love you Marc Bolan!

[mountain824]

@thelittlebombardier He is so missing......I also love him very much. thanks for comment. maria x

[1starryeyedkid]

[cryptesthesia]

[TheMetalGearChick1]

[EmergeProstheticArts]
