Initially a British folk-rockcombo called Tyrannosaurus Rex, T. Rex was a primary force in glam rock, thanks to the creative direction of guitarist/vocalist Marc Bolan(born Mark Feld). Bolan created a deliberately trashy form of rock and rollthat was proud of its own disposability. T. Rex's music borrowed the underlying sexuality of early rock & roll, adding dirty, simple grooves and fat distorted guitars, as well as an overarching folky/hippie spirituality that always came through the clearest on ballads.

Mambo Sun Lyrics

T. Rex

Beneath the bebop moon
I want to croon with you
Beneath the Mambo Sun
I got to be the one with you.
My life's a shadowless horse
If I can't get across to you
In the alligator rain
My hearts all pain for you.
Girl you're good
And I've got wild knees for you
On a mountain range
I'm Dr. Strange for you.
Upon a savage lake
Make no mistake I love you
I got a powder keg leg
And my wig's all pooped for you.
With my hat in my hand
I'm a hungry man for you
I got stars in my beard
And I feel real weird for you.
Beneath the bebop moon
I'm howling like a loon for you
Beneath the Mambo Sun
I've got to be the one for you
