Lilydog celebrates her 14th (98th in dog years) birthday today. Lots of special treats for my lil lady today – and homemade cheesy doggo biscuits. While I was baking AC/DC were rocking out on my DAB with this classic so it seems fittingly bangin’ in a “Hell’s Bells” kinda way
Really can’t have a metal list without something from the Aussie kings of metal AC/DC – Thunderstruck. Dedicated to the awesome Aussie-Brit, Terry Clitheroe, the best poetic mentor a guy could have had xx

Let There Be Rock Album: Let There Be Rock Date: 1977 Genre: Hard Rock
Lyrics by Ronald Belford Scott, Angus Young, and Malcolm Young
In the beginning Back in 1955 Man didn’t know ’bout a rock ‘n’ roll show And all that jive
The white man had the schmaltz The black man had the blues No one knew what they was gonna do But Tchaikovsky had the news, he said
Let there be sound, and there was sound Let there be light, and there was light Let there be drums, there was drums Let there be guitar, there was guitar Oh, let there be rock!
And it came to pass That rock ‘n’ roll was born All across the land every rockin’ band Was blowin’ up a storm
And the guitar man got famous The business man got rich And in every bar there was a superstar With a seven year itch
There was fifteen million fingers Learnin’ how to play And you could hear the fingers pickin’ And this is what they had to say
Let there be light, sound, drums, guitar Oh, let there be rock!
One night in a club called the Shakin’ Hand There was a 42 decibel rockin’ band And the music was good and the music was loud And the singer turned and he said to the crowd: “Let there be rock”

Big Balls Album: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap Date: 1976 Genre: Hard Rock
Lyrics by Angus Mckinnon Young, Malcolm Mitchell Young, and Ronald Belford Scott
Well I’m upper-upper class high society God’s gift to ballroom notoriety And I always fill my ballroom The event is never small The social pages say I’ve got The biggest balls of all
I’ve got big balls I’ve got big balls And they’re such big balls And their fancy big balls And he’s got big balls And she’s got big balls (But we’ve got the biggest balls of them all)
And my balls are always bouncing My ballroom always full And everybody comes and comes again If your name is on the guest list No one can take you higher Everybody says I’ve got Great balls of fire
I’ve got big balls Oh I’ve got big balls And they’re such big balls Fancy big balls And he’s got big balls And she’s got big balls (But we’ve got the biggest balls of them all)
Some balls are held for charity And some for fancy dress But when they’re held for pleasure They’re the balls that I like best My balls are always bouncing To the left and to the right It’s my belief that my big balls Should be held every night
We’ve got big balls We’ve got big balls We’ve got big balls Fancy big balls He’s got big balls She’s got big balls (But we’ve got the biggest balls of them all)
And I’m just itching to tell you about them Oh we had such wonderful fun Seafood cocktail, crabs, crayfish (But we’ve got the biggest balls of them all)

Lyrics by Brian Johnson, Angus McKinnon Young, and Malcolm Mitchell Young
She was a fast machine She kept her motor clean She was the best damn woman I had ever seen She had the sightless eyes Telling me no lies Knockin' me out with those American thighs Taking more than her share Had me fighting for air She told me to come but I was already there 'Cause the walls start shaking The earth was quaking My mind was aching And we were making it and you
Shook me all night long Yeah you shook me all night long
Working double time On the seduction line She was one of a kind, she's just mine all mine Wanted no applause Just another course Made a meal out of me and came back for more Had to cool me down To take another round Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing 'Cause the walls were shaking The earth was quaking My mind was aching And we were making it and you
Shook me all night long Yeah you shook me all night long
And knocked me out and then you Shook me all night long You had me shakin' and you Shook me all night long Yeah you shook me Well you took me
You really took me and you Shook me all night long Oh you Shook me all night long Yeah, yeah, you Shook me all night long You really took me and you Yeah you shook me, yeah you shook me All night long

Lyrics by Malcolm Young, Angus Young, and Ronald Balford Scott
If you’re havin’ trouble with the high school head He’s givin’ you the blues You want to graduate but not in ‘is bed Here’s what you gotta do Pick up the phone I’m always home Call me any time Just ring 36 24 36 hey I lead a life of crime
You got problems in your life of love You got a broken heart He’s double dealin’ with your best friend That’s when the teardrops start, fella Pick up the phone I’m here alone Or make a social call Come right in Forget about him We’ll have ourselves a ball
If you got a lady and you want her gone But you ain’t got the guts She keeps naggin’ at you night and day Enough to drive ya nuts Pick up the phone Leave her alone It’s time you made a stand For a fee I’m happy to be Your back door man
