NotesEdit

• The song is a remake of a track performed by the British band T-Rex in 1971 from their album Electric Warrior, which hit #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and is a staple on Classic Rock stations today. The song's writer, Marc Bolan, was killed in a car accident in 1977. The song includes the (Bang A Gong) to differentiate it from another song called "Get It On", performed by the jazz-rock fusion group Chase at the same time as the T-Rex version.
