T.Rex Jeepster 1971 single The track and its B-side, Lifes a Gas, are taken from the groups second album Electric Warrior. The song peaked at No. 2 in the UK charts, and was controversial in that Fly Records released the song without singer Marc Bolans prior permission, Bolan having just left Fly for EMI, which had given him control of his own label, T. Rex Wax Co. Records. The music and rhythm are similar to that of the Howlin Wolf song Youll Be Mine, written by Willie Dixon. In interviews, Marc Bolan has acknowledged that he lifted it from a Howlin Wolf song. Jeepster has also similarities with Roy Orbisons song Youre My Baby.
