T. Rex (originally Tyrannosaurus Rex) were an English rock band formed in London in 1967 by singer-songwriter and guitarist Marc Bolan, who was their leader, frontman and only consistent member. Though initially associated with the psychedelic folk genre, Bolan began to change the band's style towards electric rock in 1969, and shortened their name to T. Rex the following year. This development culminated in 1970 with their first significant hit single "Ride a White Swan", and the group soon became pioneers of the glam rock movement.
Bang A Gong was featured on their 1971 album Electric Warrior. Written by frontman Marc Bolan, It was the second chart-topper for T. Rex on the UK Singles Chart.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Well, you're dirty and sweet
Clad in black, don't look back, and I love you
You're dirty and sweet, oh yeah
Well, you're slim and you're weak
You've got the teeth of the Hydra upon you
You're dirty sweet, and you're my girl

[Chorus]
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on

[Verse 2]
Well, you're built like a car
You've got a hubcap diamond star halo
You're built like a car, oh, yeah
Well, you're an untamed youth
That's the truth with your cloak full of eagles
You're dirty sweet, and you're my girl

[Chorus]
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on

[Verse 3]
Well, you're windy and wild
You've got the blues in your shoes and your stockings
You're windy and wild, oh, yeah
Well, you're built like a car
You've got a hubcap diamond star halo
You're dirty sweet, and you're my girl

The Weeknd & Playboi Carti
[Chorus]
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on

[Verse 4]
Well, you're dirty and sweet
Clad in black, don't look back, and I love you
You're dirty and sweet, oh, yeah
Well, you dance when you walk
So let's dance, take a chance, understand me
You're dirty, sweet, and you're my girl

[Chorus]
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on (Ow)
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on (Ow, get it on, mh)

Get it on, bang a gong, get it on (A-a-a-a-a)
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on (A-a-a-a-a-a)
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Take me!

[Outro]
For a meanwhile, I'm still thinking
