King Kong Groover is the second album by Babylon Zoo. It was released on 26 February 1999. The song "Chrome Invader" was originally called "Silver Surfer" but had to be changed for copyright reasons. The Japanese version of the album includes two bonus tracks - an acoustic cover of T.Rex's "Cosmic Dancer" and a remix of "The Boy with the X-Ray Eyes". The singles from the album were "All the Money's Gone", which failed to make the top 40, and a cover of Mott the Hoople's "Honaloochie Boogie", which was abandoned soon after the promotion had begun. ''King Kong Groover'' was received poorly by critics. The ''New Musical Express'' called it a "slickly produced machiavellian plundering of pop classics" and a "clumsy effort to resurrect a career that was a fluke in the first place." Deviating from critical consensus, Dave Thompson of AllMusic called the album "at least as strong as its illustrious forbear", and said it had "yearning majesty" and "neo-operatic flair".〔 ==Track listing== ''(All songs written by Jas Mann unless otherwise noted.)'' #All the Money's Gone #Manhattan Martian #Honaloochie Boogie (Ian Hunter/Mick Ralphs) #Honeymoon in Space #Stereo Superstar #Chrome Invader #Bikini Machine #Are You a Boy or a Girl #Hey Man #Aroma Girl #Cosmic Dancer (Marc Bolan) (Japanese version only) #The Boy with the X-Ray Eyes (Armageddon Babylon mix) (Japanese version only) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「King Kong Groover」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
