Music in the Littlewoods advert

[Shamu]

Does anyone know who is singing or the band playing the music in the Littlewoods advert? It goes we love to boogie! I think it's great! I wonder if it is available to buy or was just made for the ad?

Thanks for any info.

I Love To Boogie by T-Rex, although the advert song is a lot faster than the youtube video. It's also on the Billy Elliot soundtrack.

This version from the Billy Elliot film is much faster than the live TOTP version

Are you serious? Sadly Marc Bolan died around 33 years ago in a car crash. he was an icon in my early teenage years. Check out some old T Rex singles on youtube- Metal Gure, Hot Love, Jeepster, Get it On, Ride a White Swan, etc

WOW!! Thanks factor30

I think that Marc Bolan is pure magic, he�s like the past, present and future all moulded into one!

I�m off now to buy as many records by him that I can afford!

Once again, thank you all very much.
