Toast and Marmalade for Tea is a song written by Australian musician Steve Groves. It was a Top 20 U.S. hit for Grove's group Tin Tin in 1971.
The song's distinct distorted piano melody was discovered accidentally when an engineer leaned on a tape machine creating the sound.[1]
Tin Tin obtained their recording deal with the help of Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees; Gibbs produced their album and "Toast and Marmalade for Tea." The song was released on the Atco label.[2]
