"Jet Boy" is the closing track and second 7" single from the New York Dolls' self titled debut album. It was written by Dolls lead singer David Johansen and guitarist Johnny Thunders.
The lyrics are simply about a jet boy who stole his baby.[2] There is little explanation as to what a jet boy is other than to say that he flies around New York City. Tony Glover of Rolling Stone Magazine described the song as "Marvel Comics meets the Lower East Side."[3]
While its B-side, "Vietnamese Baby," is a love song, it has the spiteful lyrics one might expect from a song with such a title written during the Vietnam War (Show you more mustard gas than any girl ever seen).
The New York Dolls famously performed "Jet Boy" on The Old Grey Whistle Test on 27 November 1973. After their performance, a somewhat amused "Whispering" Bob Harris, host of the program, smuggly refers to the performance as "Mock rock."[4]
"Jet Boy" b/w "Babylon" and "Who Are The Mystery Girls" (both from Too Much Too Soon) were released by Mercury Records in the UK in 1977.copyright by : https://en.wikipedia.org
