Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Jeepster - 2003 Remaster. By Songfacts®.

This music to "Jeepster" is based on a Howlin' Wolf blues song called "You'll Be Mine," which was written by Willie Dixon. As is typical of many blues songs, there are many sexual references in the lyrics, which are made in the form of car metaphors. In interviews, T. Rex leader Marc Bolan acknowledged that he "lifted it from a Howlin' Wolf song."

Marc Bolan had left the band's label, Fly Records, and signed with EMI shortly before this song was released. This caused some controversy because Fly didn't have Bolan's permission to release the song.

Marc Bolan explained: "I don't sing the old rock 'n' roll songs myself. I prefer to change the words and make new songs out of them. That's all 'Jeepster' is."
