Posted March 29, 200817 yr this has to be the most benal track ever recorded Did you ever see a woman Coming out of New York City With a frog in her hand Did you ever see a woman Coming out of New York City With a frog in her hand I did don't you know (x3) And don't it show * Repeat in toto *Repeat Repeat in toto wtf is that all about?
March 29, 200817 yr You are so not destroying this track. :D zJOJTqQZkuE T-Rex - New York City (1975 UK#15) As any casual fan of the Marc Bolanster would know it's lyrics are about his backing singer & future wife Gloria Jones (famous for the original Tainted Love) buying a Kermit the Frog toy for the imminent birth of their child to be Rolan. Hence the Benny Hill like innuendo of the lyric "I did don't you know & don't it show......." in reference to the fact she was carrying his child. .... The fact that he was drinking heavily and had unhealthy consumption of Cocaine at the time might go some way to explain the rather lazy lyrics, although personally it is the best (of a bad bunch) of singles he released post The Groover (1973) and prior to his much improved material from his final album Dandy In The Underworld (1977), which by no coincidence was the first album he released post getting his act together (according to a biography I'd bought of his by Mark Paytress he had stopped consuming drugs after a mild heart-attack (early 1976) & had stopped drinking Cognac and only had wine occasionally when going out for meals and was actually on a fitness regime given to him by Kevin Keegan of all people!) _rqllYBAJt8 T Rex - Dandy In The Underworld (1977)

March 29, 200817 yr Author lol.. between us we are really dissing marc bolan! :lol: i dont like him, i never did... but i like 20th centuary boy and 'truck on tyke' was ok...
March 29, 200817 yr Leave it out - pudgy Marc was still infinitely preferable to a hell of a lot of music released just prior to punk. And he was never known to be a fabulous lyricist anyway. You could probably take most of his lyrics and rip them apart - wasn't the point!
