The masturbation scenario supports the latter. There have been several claims made over decades that (at least) some parts of the lyrics to the song were written by Bon Scott. Misheard lyrics (also known as mondegreens) are instances of when a song lyric cant be. He's either singing about two different people, or he's singing about somone else, then he switches to singing about himself. Misheard Lyrics, performed by You Shook Me (All Night Long). That's why he says "best damn woman that I've ever seen" and not "best I've been with".Īnother curious thing about this song is the way he sings the verses about someone else (she was.), but sings the chorus directly to someone (you shook me.). Like any fantasy, he's imagining she's speaking to him when he says things like "she told me to come.", but the problem is, she's not real. She can't see and tell lies because she's only a paper image. For example, "sightless eyes, telling me no lies" makes sense when you know he's looking at a picture of a woman. When you think about it, that totally explains a few odd lines in the song that have had people scratching their heads. Sorry folks, but You Shook Me All Night Long is about masturbation, plain and simple.īrian Johnson has said in several interviews that this song was inspired by images of American women he saw while recording the Back In Black album in the Bahamas. The song also reappeared on their later album Who Made Who. 'You Shook Me All Night Long' is a song by hard rock band AC/DC, from the album Back in Black.
My mind was aching and we were making it. It's about fantasizing about sleeping with a hot chick. My mind was aching and we were making it. General CommentThis song is not about sleeping with a hot chick. Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing And you shook me all night long Yeah you shook me all night long Im working double time On the seduction line Shes one of a kind Shes just mine all mine Wanted no applause Its just another course Made a meal outta me And come back for more Had to cool me down To take another round Now Im back in the ring To take another swing Cause the.
Made a meal outta me, and come back for more She was one of a kind, she's just mine all mine She told me to come, but I was already there Knocking me out with those American thighs She was the best damn woman that I ever seen
