This gem has a very heavy rock chant of 'Get This!' that I love. Zinc Alloy and the Hidden Riders of Tomorrow isn't that great in terms of songs with the exception of Galaxy and Whatever Happened to the Teenage Dream. Of course being Marc Bolan the lyrics are every quirky indeed, the title seems to reference two pop culture movies of the present day which should attract some young folk to this song from the past, it's actually about a Superbad tiger and the Avengers of title possibly referring to some sort of avenging angel all linking into a caveman imagery of the song, it's all very inimitable as it's all delivered over his usual heavy guitar bop with some funk flourishes as T Rex heads into a new era of diminished fortunes.

T Rex (1974) The Avengers (superbad)
A funkier direction by Bolan as he entered his mid 70's period which wasn't as popular as the super stardom of his early 70's T-Rextacy moment. It was also a time where he was still finding him self musically as the Glam trend started fade before punk , new wave and pub rock took over. Though Marc Bolan went down the funky disco route, in this song he says now "Funky born free".
