The Friday Canon: T-REX

T-REX T-RUEFAX:

Marc Bolan was actually frightened of cars and spookily predicted his own car-crash death!

Bolan replaced percussionist Steve Peregrin Took with Mickey Finn purely because the latter had an impressive motorcycle!

Marc's poetry book was called 'The Warlock Of Love'!

Just SIX ticks today!

Like many people I suspect, I only know three T-Rex songs (20th Century Boy, Get It On and Children Of The Revolution). I like all three. I'm not sure quite why I've never got around to hearing more T-Rex music actually.

'20th Century Boy' - ruined by Placebo
'Children Of The Revolution' - famously ruined by Reginald Dwight and Peter Doherty at Live 8

Has anyone covered and ruined 'Get It On'?

Oasis. I think they pretended it was called 'Cigarettes and Alcohol', or something?

I don't remember the amount of ruinition, but it was on the b-side of Frankie Goes to Hollywood's "Welcome to the Pleasuredome" single.
