Album: Dandy in the Underworld Released: 11 March 1977 Recorded: May 1976 at Decibel Studios London, August 1976 MRI Studios, Los Angeles, United States; Decibel Studios, AIR Studios and Trident Studios, London, England "I Love to Boogie" was released as a single on 5 June 1976 by record label EMI. It later appeared on T. Rex's final studio album, 1977's Dandy in the Underworld. The song was in the UK charts for a total of nine weeks, peaking at No. 13. The song was released to controversy due to its resemblance to Webb Pierce's "Teenage Boogie", prompting rockabillies to attempt to burn copies of the single at an event held in a pub on the Old Kent Road, South East London. Disc jockey Geoff Barker complained that "The records are so alike it can't be a coincidence." When Pierce's publishers contacted Bolan's London office, Bolan's manager Tony Howard employed a musicologist to analyse both songs. The musicologist noted that "Teenage Boogie" was itself based on a riff that had been around long before the song was written. "I Love to Boogie" is amongst T. Rex's best known and most popular hits.
