The Rex rock!!!

My personal favourite:

"Myxomatosis is an animal's disease,
But I got so shook up mama that it ate away my knees,

(And I'm Left Hand Luke and the begger boys,
O yes we a-oooh-aaare)"

The satire, social critique, and general brilliance of these line demonstrate....

No, forget that. The just plain. rock.

P.S. I too like to boogey. (But I draw the line at wearing a feather boa).

Right. Let's get one or two things straight right here and now:

1. I'm not a homosexual.
2. My lusting after Johnny Depp is coincidence

Who played it?

That and Metal Guru (metal guru, could it be / you're gonna bring my baby to me?) are my favourites. His music definitely got worse as he got older, as well as his looks. From slender elf to something like Gary Glitter. It's news to me that his girlfriend was driving the Mini.

Bolan at one point claimed that all his ideas came from the Lord of the Rings.

I suspect that David Bowie stole a few notions from Marc's copybook. "Lady Stardust" is I think a tribute to Marc Bolan.

Just out of interest, what do people make of Louis XIV (the band, not the monarch)? I think there's no denying their debut album is very derivative, but as derivative glam-rock goes, I think it's a superb piece of work.

I think Little Richard had a glam thing going way before MB, although in the 50s he had to be a little more circumspect. And young Elvis apparently wasn't adverse to wearing eye-liner.
As for Lady Stardust: 'Lady Stardust sang his songs Of darkness and dismay' - doesn't sound like any T.Rex song i've heard.

Personally, I think The Slider (album) is a masterpiece, some bits of Electric Warrior were great and some awful, a lot of the earlier Tyrannosaurus Rex stuff was charming, and most if not all of the post-Slider stuff was crap.

Did you know there are tons of songs which mention T-rex or Marc Bolan (the sexiest human being ever to have crawled out of the primevil ooze)?

Well...here are just a couple:

- All the young dudes (by Bowie)
- You better you bet (by The Who)
- Wake up bomb (by REM)
- Rock 'n' Roll Radio (The Ramones)

How cool is that?
How many songs mention Bono Vox? EH EH EH??
How many songs mention Metallica? EH EH EH (in fact, I'd suprised if there aren't a few anti-metallica songs out there)??

See. You are impressed!
ADMIT IT GOD DAMN YOU!!! YOU ARE IMPRESSED!!!

Especially for Bosse de Nage:

Ride it on out like a bird in the sky ways
Ride it on out like if you were a bird
Fly it all out like an eagle in a sunbeam
Ride it on out like if you were a bird

Wear a tall hat like a druid in the old days
Wear a tall hat and a tatooed gown

Ride a white swan like the people of the Beltane
Wear your hair long, babe you can't go wrong

Catch a bright star and a place it on your fore-head
Say a few spells and baby, there you go
Take a black cat and sit it on your shoulder
And in the morning you'll know all you know, oh

Wear a tall hat like a druid in the old days
Wear a tall hat and a tatooed gown
Ride a white swan like the people of the Beltane
Wear your hair long, babe you can't go wrong

Da-da-di-di-da, da-da-di-di-da ....
