"Solid Gold Easy Action" is a song by T. Rex, written by Marc Bolan.
 It was released as a single in 1972 and reached No. 2 in the UK Singles Chart.
 The song did not feature on an original studio album but was included on the 1972 "Great Hits" compilation album issued by EMI Records.
Easy Action is a Swedish band from Stockholm that was first formed in 1981 by Pelle Almgren (ex-Warhead), Henrik "2 meter" Jermsten (ex-Stoodes), Bosse Belsen (aka Zinny J. Zan of Shotgun Messiah/Kingpin/Zan Clan - drums) and Björne Fröberg (bass, ex-Warhead).
 Bosse and Björne quit and were replaced by Ola "Skox" Andersson and drummer Urban "Ubbe" Sundbaum (ex-Lustans Lakejer).
 Stranded Records became interested and released the single "Honcho Bongo".
 It didn't sell well and when the second single, "Om jag vore kung", also failed the band split up.
 Skox and 2 meter formed Psyhedelic Mongo and Pelle Almgren started writing songs instead.
 Easy Action was reformed as a glam metal band in 1982 by Kee Marcello and Alex Tyrone (aka Peo Thyrén).
 The two played together in the Swedish glam act Noice when they decided to start the ultimate glam rock band, mixing their influences of 1970s glam with a punk/metal attitude.
 They met the original singer Bosse Belsen, now named Zinny J. Zan, at the Stockholm rock club Ritz and recorded his vocals on the first demos the very same night.
 Later the Noice drummer Fredrik Von Gerber and the guitar player Danny Wilde joined the band.
 In 1983 they got signed to the US major label Sire and became the first Swedish band ever to sign a worldwide record deal.

"Solid Gold" is a song by Dionne Warwick, written by Dean Pitchford.
 It is the official theme song of the 1980s TV music show "Solid Gold".
Solid Gold is an American syndicated music television series which debuted on September 13, 1980.
 Like many other shows of its genre, such as "American Bandstand," "Solid Gold" featured musical performances and various other elements such as music videos.
 What set "Solid Gold" apart was a group of dancers in revealing costumes who at various points in the program performed various (and sometimes borderline risqué) dances to the top ten hits of the week.
 Many other specials aired in which the dancers would dance to older pop hits as well.
 Reviews of the show were not always positive, with "The New York Times" referring to it as "the pop music show that is its own parody...[enacting] mini-dramas...of covetousness, lust and aerobic toning—routines that typically have a minimal connection with the songs that back them up."
