"You've got the teeth of the Hydra upon you..." -- T-Rex
By driftglass — July 25, 2026

On this day in 1971, T Rex stood at No. 1 on the UK singles chart with 'Get It On'. This was the group's second UK No. 1, and it spent four weeks at the top of the charts. In the U.S., it was retitled Bang A Gong (Get It On). Power Station had a UK & US hit with their cover version of the song in 1985. Play it loud.
