Wikipedia:
Electric Warrior is a 1971 album by Marc Bolan’s band T.Rex, their sixth since their debut as Tyrannosaurus Rex in 1968, and their second under the name T.Rex. The album marked a turning point in the band’s sound, moving away from the folk-oriented music of the group’s previous albums and pioneering a flamboyant, pop-friendly take on electric rock & roll known as glam rock.

Lyrics:
I was dancing when I was twelve
I was dancing when I was aaah
I danced myself right out the womb
Is it strange to dance so soon
I danced myself right out the womb
