AC/DC & Stephen Tyler - You Shook Me All Night Long

You Shook Me All Night Long Lyric

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 -

CHORUS:
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
She 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 -

CHORUS

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
Ooooh you
Shook me all night long
Yeah, yeah, you
Shook me all night long

Your really took me and you
Yeah you shook me, yeah you shook me
All night long

Song Notes : "This was the first AC/DC single featuring new lead singer Brian Johnson. He replaced Bon Scott, who died February 20, 1980 after a drinking binge"

"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, meaningful lyrics"

"Johnson said the inspiration came from seeing images of American girls while recording in the Bahamas for the album Back In Black"

"Angus and Malcolm Young have received lots of praise for their guitar on this. The song is often placed within the Top-100 guitar solos of all time"

"This was the first AC/DC song to make the US Top-40"

"AC/DC played this when they were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2003. Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, who inducted them, sang on it with them"
