THC Groove

The song "THC Groove" by BulletBoys from their 1991 album Freakshow is a high-energy track that captures the wild, rebellious spirit of the glam metal era. According to fan discussions on platforms like SonicHits, the song’s lyrics depict a chaotic, Mad Hatter-themed party where the narrator grows disillusioned with their friends’ antics, despite being the center of attention. The music video, as described on IMDb, features surreal imagery, opening with a baby carriage tumbling down stairs to reveal frontman Marq Torien, with the band performing amid white stairs, columns, and clouds. Fans on Reddit have praised its catchy riffs and nostalgic late-’80s vibe, with one user in a 2023 post calling it a “forgotten gem” that “rocks hard.” The song’s interlude has been highlighted by fans as particularly memorable, with a commenter on SonicHits labeling it the “coolest interlude ever.”

BulletBoys formed in Los Angeles in 1987, emerging from the ashes of the band King Kobra. Vocalist Marq Torien, previously with Ratt and Kagny & the Dirty Rats, joined forces with guitarist Mick Sweda, bassist Lonnie Vencent, and drummer Jimmy D’Anda, all ex-King Kobra members. Their sound, heavily influenced by Van Halen and AC/DC, blended hard rock with glam metal flair, earning Torien comparisons to David Lee Roth. The band signed with Warner Bros. and released their self-titled debut in 1988, which hit number 34 on the Billboard 200, driven by singles like “Smooth Up in Ya” and a cover of The O’Jays’ “For the Love of Money.” Freakshow, their second album, peaked at number 69, with “THC Groove” among the tracks that showcased their raw energy and party-ready style.
