King Kong Groover is the second album by Babylon Zoo. The album suffered from poor promotion from their record label, EMI, and from little press coverage. It did not do well in the charts.

The song "Chrome Invader" was originally called "Silver Surfer" but had to be changed for copyright reasons. Another song, "Manhattan Martian", was supposed to be on the "Independence Day" soundtrack but didn't make the final cut.dubious 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.
