The Groop were a harmony-based, vocal soft psychedelic pop quartet based out of Los Angeles, California (USA). Their sound can best be compared to the Fifth Dimension. They released one unsuccessful self-titled album from which came two singles. However, their song "A Famous Myth" was included on the contemporary 'Midnight Cowboy' film soundtrack.

Lyrics: A Famous Myth
Gonna exchange my things for precious wings, and fly
Over the valley of the kings and the queens where the sleeping, cities lie
One bright night, gonna fly right, out my window
Gonna fly so high, in the night sky, that the people below won't see me go, by
Gonna fly all around and smile down on the sleeping, countryside
Fly all around never come down till Soloman, takes another bride
Then I'm gonna exchange my precious wings, for things and die
Over the valley of the kings and the queens where the sleeping, cities lie
One bright night, gonna fly right, out my window
Gonna fly so high, in the night sky, that the people below won't see me go, by
Gonna fly all around, and smile down on the sleeping, countryside
Fly all around never come down till Soloman, takes another bride
Then I'm gonna exchange my precious wings, for things and die
Over the valley of the kings and the queens where the sleeping, cities lie
One bright night, gonna fly right, out my window
Gonna fly so high, in the night sky, that the people below won't see me go, by.
