"Jitterbug Love" was a B-side to T. Rex's hit single "Children of the Revolution," released in 1972.
While "Children of the Revolution" became one of T. Rex’s most famous tracks, "Jitterbug Love" is a lesser-known gem from that period. It’s a playful, upbeat tune with the classic T. Rex glam rock sound, featuring catchy melodies and Marc Bolan’s signature blend of surreal and whimsical lyrics. Like much of T. Rex's music, "Jitterbug Love" captures the carefree, youthful energy of the era.
The track is a bit of a departure from the more rebellious tone of "Children of the Revolution" and instead has a lighter, more fun vibe. It reflects the eclectic and diverse nature of T. Rex’s work during the height of their glam rock period and remains a favourite among fans and a testament to Bolan’s ability to craft memorable songs even as B-sides.
