"You Shook Me All Night Long" is a song by Australian hard rock band AC/DC, from the album Back in Black.
It is AC/DC's first single with Brian Johnson as the lead singer, replacing Bon Scott who died of alcohol poisoning in February 1980.
In January 2018, as part of Triple M's "Ozzest 100", the "most Australian" songs of all time, "You Shook Me All Night Long" was ranked number 63.
[2] Record World said it has "a truckload of gravel and enough raunch to satisfy a stadium-size crowd," as well as "havoc wrecking guitar blasts.
"[4] Rock critic Robert Christgau regarded it as a "drum-hooked fucksong" and the band's "only great work of art".
"[9] At one of his two shows at St James' Park in June 2023, Sam Fender brought Johnson on stage to perform "Back in Black" and "You Shook Me All Night Long" with him.
"[11] From AC/DC: Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be by Mick Wall: "However Malcolm Dome claims that shortly before he died, Bon 'shoved me his book of lyrics.
"[12] Dome also stated "Bon proudly showed me some of the scribbles he'd put down in preparation for an album he felt would define AC/DC – and open up new possibilities as well.
It's hard to be absolutely accurate from a distance of quarter of a century, and through the haze of alcohol which enveloped the night, but one line sticks in my mind as being on one of those sheets: 'She told me to come, but I was already there.'
The video clip casts the English glamour model Corinne Russell, a former Hill's Angel and Page 3 Girl—along with other leather clad women wearing suits with zips at the groin region—pedaling exercise bicycles in the background.
The VH1 series Pop-Up Video revealed that, during the scene with the mechanical bull, the woman playing Johnson's lover accidentally jabbed herself with her spur twice.
The roadie who came to her aid married her a year later, and Angus Young gave them a mechanical bull as a wedding present as a joke.
