- An all-time classic hit single, Demon Music Group presents this Top Of The Pops performance of ‘20th Century Boy’ in its full length for the first time in 50 years..
T.Rex made only one TOTP performance in support of 20th Century Boy, recorded on 28 February 1973, but the BBC did not keep a copy. However, via a licensing agreement with ZDF in Germany the bulk of the performance was broadcast on their “Disco 73” programme and a copy was retained. Demon Music Group have now been able to combine this with the Super 8 footage to complete the performance for the first time.
20th Century Boy remains one of the most-loved T.Rex tracks with its distinctive guitar riff instantly recognised for its power and style. It has been widely covered, including by Def Leppard, Placebo with David Bowie and Siouxsie & The Banshees.
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:
Friends say it’s fine, friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like Robin Hood
I move like a cat, charge like a ram, sting like a bee
Babe I want to be your man, hey
It's plain to see you were meant for me
I'm your boy, your 20th century toy
Friends say it’s fine, friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like Robin Hood
Fly like a plane, drive like a car, bawl like a hound
Babe I want to be your man
It's plain to see you were meant for me yeah
I'm your toy, your 20th century boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
Friends say it’s fine, friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like Rock and Roll
Move like a cat, charge like a ram, sting like a bee
Babe I want to be your man
It's plain to see you were meant for me yeah
I'm your toy, your 20th century boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
My friends say it’s fine
They say it's good
I don’t believe it's like Robin Hood
I’m like a car
Drive like a plane
I wanna hang your head in the fallin’ rain
Ah yeah…
What a cool song. Imagine if someone blasts this in a school's radio
I think nothing will happen though
@@mayoartist4728not a damn thing will happen...
@@mayoartist4728 It's implied that if that song never played, The friend would have killed himself.

From a lifelong fan, thank you so much for this.
I came here before reading the manga. I like keeping it chronological. I'll return when I'm finished.

Loving the eye make up Marc! ❤️
Fiquem de " mal" com aqueles que não gostem desta obra de arte 👁☝️
I love Marc Bolan/T Rex! I was born 21 years after he died but I'm a huge fan. I would've loved to have witnessed his greatness firsthand. He was such a talented and beautiful man 😍
Estamos salvando o mundo com essa
☝️👁️
I listened to the song so many times while I knelt down, I felt absolutely invincible.
He was fantastic...and he will be fantastic forever.
❤🎸🎤🎶⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The song which was favorite of both Kenji and "Friend"

MAGENTA MAGENTA
MAGENTA MAGENTA
This song makes me want to save the world
Everytime I sit down and listen to this song, I feel invincible, unable to be harmed as long as I say completely still
When Marc smiled the whole world did too 💥👍
Ahh, the good old days.
I wish I had a pound for every time I restrung that Les Paul along with the rest of his lovely guitars over the three and a half years that I worked for Marc, I'd have a few quid now. 😊
Never mind, I still have my awesome memories.
Thank you Marc.
R.I.P
WOT........did he not pay you then?
crying shame a full pristine copy does not exist - one of my all time fave Rex songs....🎸
This one ain't getting the attention it deserves, there might not be much depth to the lyrics, but the music is bangin'.
I was a fan when it was already old in the mid to late 80s. I have moved on since I am 54 and tastes change. I’m just here for the nostalgia, not on my playlist 😂.
👍👍
Hes gorgeous ❤❤❤❤❤
I came to add this to my playlist, as it's at the beginning of the movie, Wonderland ( Val Kilmer ) but apparently I've already liked & saved it. Because my Dad & his mates had great taste in music 🤩🤟🏽🎼🎙
now we're talking..well worth the wait thanks
Who’s here because TRex fucking rocks that’s why.
I love their work.
I love their work, their sound is forever great.
I will keep listening to them.

Hey you might enjoy a band called The Doublejumps if you like T.Rex
Endou Kenji will save the world. 🫡
indeed
Best Century of all time, i miss this century.
If anybody is coming from the 20th Century Boys manga, read chapter 75 as u listen to this. It's worth it.
One of the best and equally simpliest riff`s ever. Thank You Marc .
Kenji play with me ☝👁
Absolutely Mesmerizing
Todo mundo que termina 20th century boy acaba aqui
confirmo, pienso que hay que darle apoyo a la adaptacion de PLUTO y verla desde Netflix para que asi haya mas chances de ver 20 century boys animado
tem alguma serie com esse nome?
@@gatolongo4403 Manga

Let's take our symbol back.❤
Still own in one form or the other everything that was available till 2010.
when i was in 11th grade, our school's counselor asked me to choose a song to play on the speakers to announce the start/end of classes. i chose this one for no specific reason!
Did you feel invincible?
@@ancientragerv2561for the 20 seconds they used to play everyday, yes
You saved katsumata @@frogtales5968
Great band, loved the early stuff up to this track ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
For anyone confused about the comments. There's a Japanese manga called 20th Century Boys.
It directly mentions the song too.
T.Rex POWER
I feel invulnerable because of this song
Definitely a 20th
Century boy chaser
I just love how all the comments here are all 20th Century Boys response.

I was reading the chapter 75 of 20th Century Boys and then arrived here 😏
Hahahaha me to
@@Mustafa_Y17 me too, re reading it actually, a story that cant get out of my head even months after i finished it
@@thetaleco4977 I finished 21st century boys today it's really great
@@Mustafa_Y17 nice, what do you think about the katsumata reveal?
Not gonna lie, I love Naoki Urasawa and 20th century Boys but the ending didn't make any sense.Theres no debate for me that the ending kinda destroyed some enjoyment for me.But still a great manga without a doubt...
Man this songs makes me think about being a high school student in the 70s😎
"So dayo, boku dayo boku ga, Tomodachi dayo"
☝️👁
Thank you ❤
The song that’s a Jojo reference, and has an entire manga and movie trilogy named after it.
It’s like Bohemian Rhapsody.
As time goes on T. Rex just gets better
Depois de ler a obra de mesmo nome, finalmente vê a verdade de um garoto do século 20. Muito foda!

Manga bom de +
