Wear a tall hat like the Druids in the old days
Wear a tall hat and a tatooed gown
Ride a white swan like the people of the Beltaine
Wear your hair long, baby, can't go wrong

T. Rex, T. Rextasy: The Best of T. Rex, 1970-1973, 1985 on Warner Bros.
Mid-eighties compilation of T. Rex. Between 1970 and 1973, the band had eleven top 10 singles in the UK – including many here. Produced by Tony Visconti.
I came to T. Rex indirectly through The Replacements (who covered “20th Century Boy” on Let it Be), Bauhaus (who covered “Telegram Sam”) and The Power Station (who covered “Bang a Gong”) as well as all the Bowie intersections and references.
My copy, via Beverly Coin & Jewel in Beverly MA, included an ad for Marc Bolan on Video – available in VHS or Beta from Passport Music / JEM (see image below).

Oh geez, the first Tyrannosaurus Rex album - with the ridiculous title "My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair... But Now They're Content to Wear Stars on Their Brows" - is most excellent. Should've done this sooner, at least parallel to the beginning of our BowieADay or something.
Here's an old Christmas message for all you cool cats out there – you know who you are:
