Truck On

About Truck On

"Truck On (Tyke)" is a 1973 single by the British glam rock band T. Rex. Neither the track nor its B-side, "Sitting Here", appeared on an original T. Rex studio album, but both were added as bonus material on re-releases of the 1974 album Zinc Alloy and the Hidden Riders of Tomorrow. The record was poorly received critically and did not perform as well in the charts as previous T. Rex singles. The single was in the UK charts for a total of eleven weeks, peaking at No. 12, Truck On (Tyke) was the second to last T. Rex single, before 1974's "Teenage Dream", to break the top 20 until 1975's New York City. Marc Bolan acknowledged that "Truck On (Tyke) is my 14th hit record and I wouldn't be at all surprised if it didn't make number one." Later, Marc would claim the move to be deliberate, stating that its release "was a planned thing. I wanted something not so good to happen to compare it (future material) against." more »

Truck on Truck on Truck on Truck on Tyke
Oh Tyke baby
You're a slender living lady
You're dynamite
You're a jeep mouth dancer
You're a right on dancer
You got gangster's legs
Like a song I truck on
You're a silver-stud fender
I'm a jive brain bender I'm everyone
Got electric deep in me
I'm a space age cowboy
Ride dinosaurs
Like a song I truck on
Oh Tyke baby
You're a palamino baby
'cause you move along
People put you down
'cause you're too low on the ground
They can't hurt though
'cause you're cosmic

T. Rex

T. Rex were a British rock band, formed in 1967 by singer/songwriter and guitarist Marc Bolan. The band formed as Tyrannosaurus Rex, releasing four underground folk albums under the name. Tony Visconti (their producer for several albums) claimed in a documentary on the band that he had taken to using the abbreviated term "T. Rex" as a shorthand, something that initially irritated Bolan, who gradually came around to the idea and officially shortened the band's name to "T. Rex" at roughly the same time they started having big hits (shortly after going electric). more »
