Rex, written by Marc Bolan. It was released as a single in 1973 and reached No. 3 in the UK Singles Chart.〔 The song was not featured on an original studio album but was included as a bonus track on a reissue of 1973 album ''Tanx''. It later returned to the UK Top 20 in 1991, peaking at No. 13,〔 fourteen years after Bolan's death, when it was used in a Chris Hartwill-directed commercial for Levi's starring Brad Pitt. A slightly different segment of the song, with the addition of a harp, was used in a Jameson Irish Whiskey television advertisement. It plays a key role on the science fiction-mystery manga ''20th Century Boys''. ==Lyrical content== 20th Century Boy's lyrics are, according to Marc Bolan, based on quotes taken from notable celebrities such as Muhammad Ali. This can be seen through the inclusion of the line "sting like a bee", which is taken from one of Ali's 1969 speeches. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「20th Century Boy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
