"Get It On" is a song by English #rock band #TRex, featured on their 1971 album #ElectricWarrior. Written by frontman #MarcBolan, "Get It On" was the second chart-topper for T. Rex on the #UKSinglesChart. In the United States, it was retitled "Bang a Gong (Get It On)" to avoid confusion with a song of the same name by the group #Chase.

Daubed in doom in his tongue tombed room
We of the wind must rejoice and speak
And kiss all our starbrowed brothers on the cheek"

T. Rex - Electric Warrior

I have no idea why I've avoided this album for so long. Maybe it was because Bang a Gong (Get it On) was so ubiquitous, and it seemed like it was just offering more of the same.

But, well, no. Yes, it's boogie-glam, with semi-nonsense lyrics, but it's also...kinda...great?

And if you're going to make up for lost time, the Rhino High Fidelity version is great.
