49 | * MythologyGag: "Mambo Sun" includes the line, "I've got stars in my beard," referring back to the Tyrannosaurus Rex album ''A Beard Of Stars''. |
50 | * ShoutOut: |
51 | ** "Mambo Sun" includes the line "I'm ComicBook/DoctorStrange for you" |
52 | ** The second line of "Planet Queen" is [[Theatre/{{Hamlet}} "Perchance to dream"]]. |
53 | * RearrangeTheSong: "Monolith" does this to Gene Chandler's "Duke Of Earl." |
54 | * SelfPlagiarism: "The Motivator" is practically a rewrite of "Get It On," and "banging gongs" is mentioned in "Rip Off." |
55 | * SomethingBlues: "Lean Woman Blues" |
56 | * StudioChatter: "Lean Woman Blues" begins with Marc Bolan saying "Take ten", tuning his guitar, and then counting off the song with "One, two, buckle my shoe!". |
57 | ** "Planet Queen" also includes a brief snippet of chatter before the song begins. |
58 | * UrExample: Considered the first GlamRock album. |
59 | * WordSaladLyrics: Consider this verse from "Planet Queen": |
60 | -->"Dragon head\ |
61 | Machine of lead\ |
62 | Cadillac King\ |
63 | Dancer in the midnight\ |
64 | Dragon head" |
