- Happy New Year's Eve! I thought I'd finish this year off with a song about one of my personal favorite things to do: ballroom dancing. It was great to see AC/DC wrote a song about exactly this, and there's nothing I'd love to do more than hear about their "Big Balls".
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to AC/DC perform "Big Balls" for the first time.

------------- - Hry
His vocal sounds that you are calling "sloppy" are basically how British aristocrats would be parodied in the 70's/80's (and maybe still today). Especially in words like "notariety" you hear it. You could probably get similar vocals or pronunciation if you watched Monty Python skits or other Brit-coms of the time.
Yes! This was an Aussie doing a posh English accent.
For an Aussie, Bon pulled that off amazingly. It's part of why the song is so great.
"Posh" is the term most commonly applied. Exaggerated with a slight chuckle towards the British only an Aussie can magage.
Jacob Rees Mogg ''The Haunted Pencil'' talks like that.
Spot on this is very reminiscent of Sid James foppish accent from Carry on Don't lose you're head
Ahhh...I remember the early days when this channel just started. Elizabeth was so young innocent and naive. Now look what we gone and done. 😂🤘
😂👍
That's what happens when a nice opera girl meets AC/DC! @@mrolsen6987
It's not all that surprising when you think about it. A bunch of people in metal bands are classically trained. The music is just tuned down and spead up but keeping the complexity. Don't get me wrong, the transformation has been fun to watch. From her first videos to now, it's like she's a whole different person
if we have to get her to analyse the censored version of '*ing an animal' by gwar, it'll still be fun.
Mrs. Slocombe from "Are you Being Served worked on that accent for sure!"
Bon was the master for tongue in cheek songs. He was never worried about what people thought of his singing abilities, he just wanted to have fun and he was the perfect rock in roll performer.
This song is absolutely Bon at his cheekiest
Bon was the man, people who were around for him know it’s was as much about Bon as it was angus, Brian Johnson never captured the original vibe
@@NicoleTunis Bon was all about the cheek. If you see videos with him you can tell the mirth which which he would sing this.
Best singer they ever had.
Angus also cowrote most of these
You can't underestimate being in a stadium with 7000 other people singing the chorus "We've got big balls, we've got big balls". They played this song late in the set, long after my concert flask was empty.
This song is not about testicles or ballroom dancing. It's all about giving a big middle finger to radio censorship. They played this unedited back in the day and it was fairly outrageous.
Also, you MUST react to "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" now. It's another absolute gem of a song from this album.
I agree, I love the way Bon Scott sings "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap", such a deviously sinister vocal tone.
That's pretty funny, and genius!
@@TheCharismaticVoiceShows you how ahead of the game AC/DC was and weren't afraid to be themselves!
What I think is funny is over the years some bands wrote songs that bashed the record industry but were written in a way the record companies were clueless but fans were sometimes smart enough to decider their meaning.
Another great song! Not trying to start anything, but Joan Jett's cover of Dirty Deeds is better IMO. AND Joan Jett and the Black Hearts deserve a listen on this channel, sooo.... 🙏🙏🙏
Well, it seems that Elizabeth has the balls to analysis AC/DC's big balls, metaphorically speaking, of course 😜
Oh, Kirk convinced me to do this...
Yay Kirk!!!!@@TheCharismaticVoice
@@TheCharismaticVoice Somehow I'm not surprised that it was Kirk behind this 😂
@@TheCharismaticVoice Thank you Kirk! Looking forward to this one.
@@TheCharismaticVoice Thank you kirk!
Foo Fighters just came through Australia, their female drum tech sung this every night with them on stage.
Now imagine Jack Black & her singing this song in Auckland…. EPIC!!!!!
Personally I think this is the funniest song ever written, you can literally hear Bon holding himself from laughing his ass off, also Dirty Deeds is my favorite album of all time
AC/DC have been playing for 50 years. Bon was only the lead singer for about 5 1/2 years before his death in 1980 and Brian Johnson took over. Yet Bon is so loved by their fans. It is a testament to his vocals, stage presence and charisma that he is so well remembered. As good as Brian Johnson is, there was just something about Bon.
Well, Brian took over in 1980 and he made ACDC a world rocking band. But ACDCs best songs came with Bon and they were MUCH better with Bon.
It is so sad, but Brian is an excellent replacement. No disrespect to him. Also he is the finest rock star you could find.
But Bon, well Bon was "the man". If he hadn´t died so soon, he could have been bigger then Freddie.
As someone mentioned - Ride on, my favourite song of ACDC. Followed by Let there be rock.
I’ve always known it, but this video proves it: Elizabeth is a national treasure and must be protected at all costs
We will form a perimeter 😁
Absolutely❣️
Yeah, I love watching her laugh. She allows her inner child to shine through. I wish all of us could do that.
must be protected at costs... wait are there people who don't like her? hard to imagine such a thing! I have a few questions if we have such a person here!
absolutely
To see a classically trained singer, have as much fun as I did as a 12 year old boy first hearing this song....and give a much smarter analysis than I did back then, that's pure joy. She understands the goofiness and fun. I agree, protect her at all cost.
Your reaction was brilliant, haha. Bon Scott had a great sense of humor.
Bon's lyrical play on words with tongue firmly in cheek, is why Bon was so loved. This will be fun. 🤘❤️🇨🇦
I'm not sure if she knows that this isn't Brian Johnson
@@BrandonCoffin7at 11:16 she says "Oh, Bon Scott"
Came for AC DC, stayed for the giggles and education. Thank you for an amazing year full of reactions!
lol came
Umm, phrasing?
@@sherpajonesLike everything in that song, I'm entirely sure that was intentional.
Jerry Lee Lewis did a song in 1957 called "Great Balls Of Fire". It was one of his biggest hits. So, when they reference great balls of fire that is what comes to mind.
When I first heard this song as a kid I immediately committed it to memory. I'll tell you sharing it with my classmates at a Catholic elementary school went over like a lead balloon😂
Lead balloon or the proverbial “fart in church”
I made the mistake of letting my mom hear it and she threw it out!!
@@donalddouds6033 at least you can blame a fart on the pew.
Awesome! It reminds me of getting kicked out of Noah's Ark Daycare as a kid for belting out Shout At the Devil from the top of my lungs! Great times!
When touring Australia, Foo Fighters played this song and their female drum tech sung this song and she absolutely nailed it!
Came here to say this. Just saw them in Brissy the other week. She nailed it.
She ruled
Is there video of this?
Yeah I saw her at the Brisbane show, she was great.
I'd like to see that!
As an Australian who grew up with and loves AC/DC, congratulations Elizabeth for tackling a classic piss take track from an awesome Aussie band.
this song was a reply to the ABCs guidelines for what could be on TV.
Countdown had rules on degeneracy....as there should be.
@@Ratisha_OfficialFair point. Considering Australia was once a penal colony for Britain, most of us have roots in and around England.
@@Ratisha_Official not bizarre at all. they (except brian) consider themselves australians and an australian band so thats all that matters. they look, sound and act australian. they came to australia as very young children, grew up in australia, met and started playing music together in australia. so the only thing bizarre is that you don't get that.
Who makes the rules @@gdog2831
@@Ratisha_Official pffft whatever. You go tell them (besides brian oc) they're Scottish then.
I have a female friend who does this song all the the time at karaoke and she crushes it. It's so good and so funny when she does it. Always gets a great reaction.
I was in a band in high school (1984) that covered some AC/DC songs including Big Balls I played guitar but could sing this one. My wife and I briefly dated that year as well. Fast forward to year 2000 we had been dating a little while and met a mutual friend of ours at a dive bar in Detroit for drinks and karaoke. Several 7&7s into the evening I'm dared to get up and sing. I chose this song,and absolutely slayed it. I'm partially convinced my performance might have hooked her.😂 We celebrate our 23 rd anniversary later this month. ❤❤
Congratulations to you and your wife on 23 years, Brother! I hope, for the pleasure of both of you, that you 'all continue to enjoy bouncing B Balls whenever it strikes your fancies!😉😜
Bravo on having big balls, sir! Cheers!
In a million years I’d have never guessed that you’d be doing this song. Love it!!!
Baby Got Back is next.
Ikr! had to do a double take first time seeing notification.
@@kevinmichael9482 no double take, just holy shit this will be Epic, no one does this one.
This song and Aerosmith's Big Ten Inch Record always made us pre-teenage boys giggle back in the day.
You didn't have to be pre-teen to get a giggle out of big balls & big ten inch, me and everyone I knew men and women were grinning every time those songs were played & were a little surprised a radio station in Oklahoma would have big enough balls to play them loved music in the 70s
This is the song that got me into AC/DC as an 11 yr old... good old fashioned Aussie humour.
Vocal analysis of Bon Scott is not easy.... he wasn't about vocal gymnastics, he was about delivering the lyrics with character and attitude.
So glad you did this.
Btw, check out the artwork of the Aussie edition of this album.
Bon Scott gave AC DC a sleazy charm and Brian Johnson gave fist pumping rocker
One of many things I always loved about AC/DC , as an Aussie, is the backing vocals are just so Australian. Real Okka as we call it.
This song is just one giant double entendre.
Love it.
Multiple entendre!
Listen to The Jack.... that's another one!
pretty much a single entendre
@@UKJesterVids Triple entendre, actually. Ballrooms, testicles, anti-censorship.
Entendre cubed
My memories of this song are almost exclusively from hearing it being played on the local rock radio station, through the speakers of the schoolbus in the early 80's. A great little sing-along for the kids!
I think I was in the 5th or 6th grade the first time I heard this. I assumed he was referring to have lots of guts or being ballsy in life..
Memory unlocked! When this played on the way to school, several of us would sing along at full volume. My sister was livid.
Oh it's a great sing along for any age, lol.
Yes! Everyone singing at full volume. The reactions from the Boomer teachers were priceless!!
The way Bon talks with that "High Falutant" verbiage is ever so excellent.
indubitably!
Quite exquisite you know!
Marvellous I do believe.
This song was a treasure back when it was released, it wasn’t just an tremendous tongue in cheek, double entendre song. The biggest laugh of all is that it was played on the radio all over the place. It was the bands shot at censorship in radio.
this was the very first album I ever owned, that I bought with my own money. I had babysitting money from watching my little brother and I asked my mom to buy this record (vinyl) for me. She went to the Tower Records closest to us and picked it up. When she got to the record store she asked the clerk if this album was appropriate for a pre-teen, lol. God bless the dude working the counter that day... he told my mom, "oh, yeah... he's going to love this!" I then listened to Problem Child, Big Balls, Love At First Feel, and Dirty Deeds over, and over... and over. I'm in my 50's now, and still listen to this record on vinyl. It's a newer copy, not the one I got in '81, but the feelings the album gives me are exactly the same! music is magic...
I listened to this song so much that as ive gotten older, Rocker is one of my favorites.
I was given this album on 8-track. If you know you are old.
@@scottdash We had a home stereo that would let us record from radio, record, or 8-track to another 8-track.
Poor Conway Twitty sacrificed his album so I could have a copy of this one.
What a time to be alive! When Bon Scott died we all thought they were finished. Then Back in Black came out. I wore the shit out of that record
Loved the song growing up, but love it even more to shock the kids with, Bon Scott had a wicked sense of humour
Most people missed the humor of Bon Scott and Alice Cooper.
Bon's posh accent is utterly brilliant, as is his delivery. I discovered this song when I was 18. I had these two friends and we were exploring AD/DC'S older albums, and my buddy says, listen to this. We nearly fell over laughing. You cannot listen to this song without smirking or smiling.
Bon Scott is arguably the greatest frontman of all time, and his vocal stylings were, well, unique.
This song was SO SCANDALOUS in my neighborhood when I was a kid: our grade school banned us from playing it or singing it, and our moms did not even allow us to have the album (76-77 was before cassette tapes became popular). And yet... somehow... we played and sang the shit out of this. 😂
Because, yeah... It was the 70's, and we were gearing up for the 80's! That's how #genx rolled, AND STILL ROLLS! 🤘🤜💥🤣
Hehe
I was in 7th grade Music class and we had to do a oral report on a rock band/song, and this kid Jeff did this song with another kid. I remember his exact quote in front of the class, "We know nothing about this band or the song, we picked it because of the subject', 'Big Balls'"...The 300 pound lady teacher failed him....lol After a year of boring traditional standard songs, this was great. It was probably the first time I ever heard the song myself...
When I was in junior high, this album came out. That summer, my mom arranged a carpool with some other neighborhood children to take us to our weekly computer programming class. It was not a short drive, so we brought tapes to listen to on the way. One of the children had this album and we put it on. We all loved it, including my mom, who thought it was the funniest thing she'd heard.
Like most people, my relationship with my parents has always been "complicated", but it was moments like that, that gave me a proper appreciation of her being "a real live person", and indeed one with a (at times) easy-going sense of humor!
I can completely relate. I was a kid in South Africa in the 1970s, and the ACDC albums were in a very long list of albums that were either banned or severely frowned upon by the society of the time. And yet, we found ways to listen to it whenever we wanted. It points to one of those truths of life: the more you try to suppress something, the stronger you make it.
This song is Bon Scott at his comedic best, it is complete slapstick comedy and his voicing from the very beginning of the song proves it. Still a bloody good tune and from the very first time hearing it at 10 years old and now at 45 I still get a good laugh and a good rock out to it!!
"Slapstick" is such an appropriate term.
Some songs are difficult to analyze with a professional attitude, but you still managed to do so in between giggles & guffaws. A "novelty" song like this really hits it out of the ballpark, doesn't it? 😚
I have never met a 12 year old boy that doesn't know this song. I was surprised when my son and his friends knew it because he was living with his mother at the time. I look forward to hearing my grandson singing this in about 10 years.
The Dirty Deeds album might be my favorite of all time. Every song is great is one way or another, either hard rocking or playful or both.
my favorite AC/DC album for sure. It has that very distinct Australian sense of humor
Agreed! My very favorite AC/DC album. Every single tune is awesome! This is one of those albums that almost everyone I knew owned. 👍💯✌🇨🇦♥️♥️♥️
It's good definitely but I think they hit their peak with the next 4.
I love your enthusiasm Elizabeth. I never thought I'd see you do this tune in a million years. I know you got the inside joke on the tune, when you crack up like you do I can't help but smile.
It's REEEEdiculous.
Well said. A great reaction.
I accidentally found this channel and was initially caught by Beth’s red hair. She covers many of my favorite songs and performances. She is very expressive with her eyes/eyebrows and mouth and truly seems to enjoy. I would love to hear her singing whatever the genre. Keep up the great work 🇺🇸🇺🇸😍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Bon had a knack for playing with clever double entendres that would be delivered with a bit of a grin. It's one of the things that made him so incredibly unique, lol.
You are getting bolder Elizabeth. Looks like this one is going to be a lot of fun with lots of giggles and blushes. Great song from a great album. Hope you get to Ride On soon. It is quite different from most AC/DC songs.
Ride On is one of my all time favorites. It should be a consideration for any blues playlist.
I was at a funeral of a young (27) guy 25yrs ago, he was a big AC/DC fan, his brother demanded that Ride On should be played.
It was a bit of discussion with the priest since he just heard "AC/DC" ...
They played the song in the part when you go and put a flower on the coffin.
Yet to day I cry when I think about it, it was beautiful.
Cheers from Northern Sweden.
R.I.P. Bon Scott. Bon was such an inredible frontman/performer.
You should check out 'Ride On' which is off the same album. It's the only ballad AC/DC ever done and it's absolutely amazing. Bon lays down some incredible vocals just packed with emotion and Angus lays down an equally emotional guitar solo and it may be my favorite solo of his. It's such an amazing song!
Don't forget the second ballad, "Love Song".
I love this entire album
@@Project851@eric_day84 I don't want to come across as pedantic but surely "Love Song" was their first ballad as it was on their debut album "High Voltage" and "Ride ON" was their second ballad.
Second to that. A beutifuly performed song.
@@Project851was about to say that.
You are 100% correct; this is a great karaoke song. It's so much fun, chorus is an audience shout, and its more about expression than vocal gymnastics. Thank you for doing one of my faves. You really should consider Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Aaaannd the blushes keep on coming. 🥰🤭🤭
His exaggeration of a snobby tone is part of the fun
Such a fun and irreverent song!! Knowing what lyrics were coming up, I couldn't wait to see her reaction and she didn't disappoint! Impossible not to laugh along with her 😂
I first heard this song back in the mid-70's, and my friend and I didn't stop laughing for about an hour (we were only teenagers). Bon-era AC/DC has always been my favorite AC/DC. 😆
I had the dj play this at my late brothers wedding. His and his wifes reaction was priceless.
After this, maybe give Chuck Berry's song My Dingaling a listen.
Your patreon fans want to see you blush! But this is a catchy song! Bon Scott is a legend!
Hah, this one was all Kirk.
@@TheCharismaticVoice😂😂😂 Makes perfect sense 😁
@@TheCharismaticVoice Please thank him from all of us. 🤣 Sometimes it's great to listen or 'analyze' a song just purely for fun.
The double entendre of song is so great. The other thing is they somehow got the record company to release this as a single. This played back in the day and still does on rock radio all the time. With songs like the title song Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap and Love at First Feel and this one this album is fire. This is why, imho, Bon Scott will always be the better singer of AC/DC. There is another song, completely different from the tongue and cheekiness, called Ride On you should check on. Bon has very subtle vocals on this one. It's a slow bluesy number that would really give you a great listen to his voice.
+1 for Ride On
"Big Balls" is next level greatness! Bon Scott nailed it!!
Such a great song from a great album. Bon Scott was such a marvellous vocalist and the total lack of subtlety in this song is what makes it such a fun track that still, after all these years, makes me giggle like a child whenever I hear it.
You should do “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” off this album as well, it’s another great Bon Scott vocal exercise.
This song was done, obviously, with a certain amount of absurdity in mind, with the double entendre, and the over-the-top pompousness of Bon. I think you doing a 'vocal analysis' of this actually adds to the absurdity in a great way. Awesome.
And probably a healthy addition of liquid courage on the part of Bon.
It is a great karaoke song. I sing it all the time and everyone has a ball.
I bet you were itching to tell us about it😂
You are the best for doing this. I remember my mom coming in my room hearing this. "Oh, lovely song Roland". Too funny, Ty.
It's always fun watching someone hear this song for the first time. Loved watching Elizabeth's eyes get wide as she experienced the masterful lyrical word play in this song. HNY to all!
I'll never forget the day my brother played and sang along to this song,,,,,, for our mother! Now that is a fun memory 😂 also. This was the first song i learned to play on my bass.
Well done.
A definite talent for reviewing such a sweet and innocent Aussie song.
This is my favorite AC/DC song, is raw, undecent, fun, outspoken, rocker, roller, irreverent, simple but legendary, this song contains everything AC/DC is, was and will be.
Yes 70's ac/dc welcome Elizabeth.This is were I live.
You've got to do more Bon Scott. He was an incredible presence.
You can't beat a bit of Bon Scott. One of the great things about this era AC/DC is the humour - present, but enhancing the music rather than trivialising it as might be the case in, for example, the Small Faces. RIP Bon x
A friend of mine at Uni suggested that we played this during a performance assessment, just for fun. He was a big AC/DC fan and I'd never heard it before. We had such a blast and even during the rehearsals this song would always bring a big smile to our faces. We finished the set with this and the look on our lecturer's face was worth it ;)
Bon was a treasure, just a master of wordplay and just had a charm in everything he did. In terms of him using that skill in a more traditional song writing sense, listen to "Ride On", it's the greatest song he ever performed on in my view.
+1 for Ride On
Love this entire album. RIP Bon and Malcom.
Such a classic 😆 It's a shame he couldn't have blessed us with his voice for longer.
I have to say that your enthusiasm and positivity has reached even my husband, a confirmed curmudgeon. He was mystified when I told him that I had started watching vocal analysis/reaction videos. Then he watched your South Park reaction, and now he has been the one to suggest watching your videos multiple times with no prompting. He agrees with me: You are a shot of pure endorphins into the day. We love you! Never change!
I haven't listened to this song in 20+ years. I still giggle like a kid.
Might I add "Down Payment Blues" to the doubtless growing list of ACDC tracks clamouring for your attention. Bon Scott at his best - turn by turn angry, amused, cynical, contemptuous with his inflection of cleverly crafted lyrics. Pure poetry.
I agree!
Powerage is my favorite AC/DC album. Every song is a killer. Down Payment Blues is a standout along with What’s Next To The Moon and Kicked in the Teeth. The whole album is fantastic and Bon and the band are at the top of their game.
Yes to Kicked in the teeth!
Exactly it is more a punk, than a rock song and Bon Scott has been one of the most intelligent and talented "Querulant" in the rock scene of the seventies. I do❤him...
Loved everything about this episode. I am still smiling! Happy New Year guys. May we all continue to have big balls!
This song is hilarious. Loved listening to it every time it came on the radio.
My mother came into my room once when I had this cranked up on the radio & ended up just walking out shaking her head sadly...
Bon Scott was the best. He could write clever, witty double-entendres like this and then a song like "Ride On" on the same album. RIP Bon (and Malcolm). Happy New Year, Elizabeth!
Bon reminding us that music is, first and foremost, about having fun. He was the best.
Ohh my dear at 8 it was Awesome! at 47 still makes me chuckle!
Elizabeth, I and everyone on here have been not only music fans, but passionate about the craft that is music. Being 53 in age it brings me back to listening to record albums with friends and family. How you'd anticipate when that good friend would come to your house, sit down, and enjoy each others company while joyfully discovering something new. Having had so many of these songs as an integral part of my life for many years, watching you discover so many of them for the first time is like having that precious experience over again with fresh insight and renewed wonder. It truly is like having a friend pop by to share a moment of life, something that is missing today for so many. I've played guitar for many years, and the ability you have to passionately share your love of the voice as an instrument has inspired so many including myself to start vocal journeys of our own. I thank you, I appreciate you, and will continue looking forward to your visits. Much love to you, and all of us who get together here in 2024. 🐙😀
Very well said. I could not have said it better come in for about 52-year-old that got this album when he was 13
For me, this song perfectly defines what rock and roll is. And this album is perhaps the best ac/dc album ever. Rest in peace Bon.
I knew you'd love this song. 😄 I think they made this with the right amount of "Up yours!" and Benny Hill comedy with music hall "grit".
A total gigglefest! So much fun to see you having fun withe fun!
Quite the song to finish 2023! I’m glad you picked a fun song to listen to Elizabeth! Sometimes not taking songs seriously and having fun with them is the best medicine! Great analysis Elizabeth! Happy new year to everyone in the Charismatic Voice community!
Cheers,
Mike L 😎🇨🇦✌🏼🥳🎉
Bon Scott was just honoured with his own tartan design.
I haven’t heard this song in years, watching you react to it made me laugh so much and so hard!
Thank you for sharing your absolute joy and beautiful laugh as well as doing the analysis of what singing is!
Thank you for this reaction. Honestly, I couldn't stop laughing from your reaction. It's absolutely amazing!! This song is the ultimate play on words, and you learned that, and I appreciate that you tried to keep a straight face. Thank you!!!
And here we are. *WE* know what's coming, and we can't WAIT to hear your reaction. Thanks for all the fun, and the balls to play the songs we request. Happy New Year!!
Rosie!!!
I’m glad you heard about his big balls. Apparently, he was just itching to tell you about them.
Your reactions are the reason I watch. Always a delight to watch. Thanks!
A brilliant song performed perfectly by Bon. Cheeky as you can get without being rude. That was Bon. My band plays this occasionally and it always gets a huge reaction but hey we are one of Australia's biggest ACDC tribute bands so people know exactly what wat we are about. Having a good time.
This is a fantastic old Aussie classic. "but we've got the biggest balls of them all!"
As a classical singer, I think you should do a version of this and upload it to youtube lols...
A New Years Eve ball to remember.
You never disappoint, I love so much that you usually do a little research and lyric read thru before recording, and love even more than you knew to stop this time to give a true reaction.
This song brings back so many great memories. Listening to this and singing along on the bus coming back from track meets.
Have a ball breaking this one down Elizabeth, love your sense of humor. When you're done with this one check out a similarity tongue and cheek one "She's got the Jack" from them.
I love how some of these legendary bands have some of these utterly insane songs that while being absolutely ridiculous are still legendary songs in their own right.
Queen has songs like Fat Bottomed Girls and Bicycle Race, AC/DC has Big Balls, Van Halen had Hot for Teacher, etc.
And some of these songs manage to deliver one of the most defining sounds of these bands too. The intro to Hot for Teacher, the drums and guitar, it's so utterly unique, technically impressive and if you heard it once, you'll remember it forever.
Tenacious D took that part of all legendary bands and made a career out of it.
Led Zeppelin had Whole Lotta Love... a silly song about sex that became one of the most iconic songs in rock history. On the same album, the even more explicitly sexual Lemon Song...
Also Van Halen's 'Beautiful girls' is another such fun song. It swings and grooves, has great backing vocals and just puts a smile on your face.
This was standard AC/DC fare in the Bon Scott era.
"Definitely sounds drunkish". Inadvertent nod to Bon's demise. 😳 Try "Ride On". Such an underrated song by them
The patterns that Bon Scott uses in this song, the accent and fading out in the middle of sentences and going up and down in pitch is mimicking the speech patterns of upper-middle- to upper-class Englishmen of yesteryear. You do still hear it occasionally these days, but it's getting less and less, but it's done in Monty Python, it'll be done in Dad's Army, I'm sure, Fawlty Towers, etc. I think Stephen Fry does it a bit as well, bless him. It's a wonderful parody.
Love it! Though a ballroom dancer myself, I've never danced this one in a dance hall lol
Sounds like a challenge 😆
This was all we could have hoped for .... and more. Being able to actually break down vocals as well as comedic tenents, all while maintaning a semblence of seriousness balanced with having fun. My hat is off to you. 🎩🖤
I 100% love your reactions and analysis of my favorite rock singer of all time: Bon Scott!
The best double entendre lyrics ever put to music! When my mother first heard this song she thought it was the most dirty thing she ever heard LOL
