AC/DC – You Shook Me All Night Long

Single “You Shook Me All Night Long” from the album Back In Black was released on 19 August 1980. Recorded in 1980.

This was the first AC/DC single featuring new lead singer Brian Johnson. He replaced Bon Scott, who died February 19, 1980 after a drinking binge. Scott’s father made it clear to the band that they should find a new singer and keep going.

Brian Johnson came up with the line “She was a fast machine, she kept her motor clean” when he realized that cars and women were very much alike: They go fast, let you down, but then make you happy again when you see the new model. AC/DC has never been known for deep, sensitive lyrics.

Brian Johnson said that the inspiration for this song came from seeing images of American girls (and their thighs) while recording in the Bahamas for the album Back In Black.

AC/DC performs in the first version of the music video “You Shook Me All Night Long” from the album “Back in Black” recorded for Atlantic Records. The video begins with the band performing on a darkened stage. Brian Johnson sings as Angus Young plays guitar.
