T. Rex - “Bang a Gong (Get It On)” (1971)
Originally titled simply “Get It On,” the song was retitled in the US to avoid confusion with a song by the American band Chase. The song’s popularity helped propel the exceptional Electric Warrior album to the top of the UK Album Charts, and it became the best-selling album of 1971. Despite the band’s enduring legacy and influence, “Get It On” is T. Rex’s only North American hit.

They Have Time
haven’t ever posted fic before but decided i should just start because now i’ve worked it up to this big thing in my head. anyway! thanks to @wolfstarmicrofic for giving me the motivation!
for prompt “get it on”
Remus looks up from the vegetables and spices he had bubbling in oil on the plan as the notes of an old song ring out from the living room. He smiles, waits for arms to snake around his waist. Stirring once more, he turns the heat down. He knows what’s coming.
Sure enough, Sirius’s voice slides over his shoulder, his arms across Remus’ belly,  “Well, you're dirty and sweet. Clad in black, don't look back and I love you”
Remus grins and turns to give Sirius a kiss, slow and deep. They have time.
“Hi, loser,” he murmurs.
“Hey, lover,” Sirius returns, and continues, “You've got the teeth of the hydra upon you. You're dirty, sweet and you're my girl”
Remus laughs, “you are such an idiot.” It’s fond. It always it.
Sirius laughs—it’s not loud, but it is free—and picks up the volume. Holding a hand out for Remus, Sirius sings.
“Get it on,” Sirius closes his eyes and tilts his head up, “bang a gong,” Remus steps over, “get it on,” arms wrap around necks and waists and smiles spread down to their toes. 
“Get it on,” a kiss to Sirius’ cheek, “bang a gong,” to the other, Sirius grins like an idiot. It’s fond. 
“Get it on,” a kiss, short and sweet. They have time.

Get It On
“This song goes out to Moony,” Sirius said as he took the karaoke mic.
Remus’s face heated and he tried to hide but hte sound of Sirius’s voice kept drawing him in. He got louder when he got to the chorus:
“Let's get it on
Ah, baby, let's get it on”
Remus met his eyes and Sirius smiled as he continued singing with the promise of later.

today’s ‘microfic’ ended up being 500 words but I’m not mad about it. Of course it turned into an ode to Sirius and glam rock, who do you think I am? 😂

Get It On
The first time Remus heard Get It On by T.Rex was in first year, not long after the record was released. The sixth year Gryffindors had a record player in the common room and Electric Warrior was all they played that autumn.
Sirius was sitting on the sofa next to Robert, the sixth year, looking at the sleeve of the LP like it had just told him the greatest secret in the world and Remus couldn’t stop looking at him: those high, aristocratic cheekbones, that sweep of dark hair.
Remus must’ve heard the song a thousand times by sixth year. Their shared record player in the dorm often had that LP whirring around on it, though Sirius was fastidious about his records and never left them on the turntable, unlike James who often fell asleep with his copy of Kate Bush’s The Kick Inside still turning around and around, playing white noise.
Sirius was dancing in the small space between the beds when Remus came out of the bathroom, towel around his hips. Sirius seized his hands and pulled him to dance along, one of his pale hands going to Remus’ waist. That had been the first time they kissed, when the song had faded away to white noise. They needed to flip the record but they were a little preoccupied. Remus smiled against Sirius’ lips and kissed him so much that year he thought he might keel over from it.
After that, Remus didn’t listen to any T.Rex.
Marc Bolan had died just as seventh year started and Sirius had taken it hard, never mind the fact the war was brewing. Remus expected Sirius to christen their new flat out of school with Electric Warrior, but he didn’t. Remus wondered if he was saving it for better times, but they never came. Sirius played a lot of Bowie’s Heroes during that time and Remus’ heart hurt every time Sirius avoided being alone with him.
Remus kept Sirius’ records though, even after the worst happened and Remus was left to clear out the flat they used to share.
It felt like the first time all over again, when Sirius—thirty-three and with shaking fingers—set Electric Warrior on the turntable of Remus’ mam’s record player. He stood by the player all through the first five songs—even Lean Woman Blues which had been his favourite for many years—silently watching the record spin.
Instead of flipping the record, Remus lifted the needle and set it back to the beginning of Get It On. Sirius lifted his gaze from the record as Remus took his hands and pulled him into the tiny space in front of the sofa. Sirius smiled as he danced, the lyrics coming back to him like a slow dawn over the valleys.
They kissed again at the end of the song, like the first time all over again, tentative and questing. They left the record spinning while they went upstairs.

So I’ve seen some wild live rock and metal footage, and the modern bands are just shy of being a Cirque du Soleil act in and of themselves. And yet they don’t quite reach the sheer chaos that Marc Bolan and T Rex have in this clip from their performance on the Smothers Brothers(?) like the outfits, the backup singers, the tambourine chaos, the WHIP! Sheer chaos that outdoes even the most firework-laden and heavily choreographed modern concert
