“Bang a Gong (Get It On)” – T. Rex
[media=https://youtu.be/bOjCjXfG9yg]
On this day in 1971, T. Rex’s “Get It On” reached #1 on the UK Singles Chart.
In the US (where the recording peaked at #10), it was retitled “Bang a Gong (Get It On)” to avoid confusion with another group’s song that was also named “Get It On”.
The song is sexually suggestive (as the title suggests) without being too graphic. One reviewer even characterized some of the imagery as “comically vague”.
