Get It On (Cover de Marc Bolan and T. Rex)

Los Bunkers' cover of Marc Bolan and T. Rex's classic 'Get It On (Bang a Gong)' is a vibrant homage to the glam rock era, infused with their unique style. The song's lyrics are a celebration of youthful exuberance, rebelliousness, and raw sensuality. The repeated imagery of being 'dirty and sweet' and 'built like a car' evokes a sense of untamed energy and allure, characteristic of the glam rock movement of the early 1970s.

The metaphorical language in the song is rich and evocative. Phrases like 'teeth of the Hydra' and 'hubcap diamond star halo' paint a picture of a fantastical, almost mythical figure. The Hydra, a multi-headed serpent from Greek mythology, symbolizes something powerful and dangerous, while the 'hubcap diamond star halo' suggests a blend of the mundane and the divine, a common theme in glam rock's blending of high and low culture. These metaphors contribute to the song's larger-than-life feel, making the subject of the song seem both otherworldly and intimately human.

Culturally, 'Get It On' captures the essence of the glam rock era, a time when music was as much about visual spectacle and persona as it was about sound. Los Bunkers' rendition pays tribute to this by maintaining the song's original spirit while adding their own flair. The Chilean band's interpretation brings a fresh perspective, bridging the gap between the 1970s glam rock scene and contemporary rock audiences. This cover not only honors the legacy of Marc Bolan and T. Rex but also showcases Los Bunkers' ability to reinterpret classic rock with authenticity and passion.
