    Bang a Gong (Get it On)

    Originally posted on July 25, 2018

    55 years ago today T-Rex was at #1 with ‘Get it On’. It was later renamed ‘Bang a Gong’ in the U.S. to avoid confusion with a similarly titled song by a group called Chase.

    “Well you're windy and wild
    You've got the blues
    In your shoes and your stockings
    You're windy and wild
    Oh yeah”
