Thunder [x10]
I was caught
In the middle of a railroad track (thunder)
I looked round
And I knew there was no turning back (thunder)
My mind raced
And I thought what could I do (thunder)
And I knew
There was no help, no help from you (thunder)
Sound of the drums
Beating in my heart
The thunder of guns
Tore me apart
You've been
Thunderstruck

Rode down the highway
Broke the limit, we hit the town
Went through to Texas, yeah Texas, and we had some fun
We met some girls
Some dancers who gave a good time
Broke all the rules
Played all the fools
Yeah yeah they, they, they blew our minds
And I was shaking at the knees
Could I come again please
Yeah them ladies were too kind
You've been
Thunderstruck

I was shaking at the knees
Could I come again please

Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck
It's alright, we're doin' fine
It's alright, we're doin' fine, fine, fine
Thunderstruck, yeah, yeah, yeah
Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck
Thunderstruck, baby, baby
Thunderstruck, you've been Thunderstruck
Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck
You've been Thunderstruck

Saw these guys at my local high school in 1974 with Bon Scott. Very loud and very good to that 13 year old

I'll have to check that out. Jim Breuer should have had a bigger career...

Hot banging head banging throbbing rock and roll tune for younger and older.  I love its use in Battleship.  Waves crashing over the bow, indeed.

This needs a sub to *really* make an impact....but very good headphones do pretty well!

Many RP bands have hipster genre categories like "post-emo electro-pop"  in their Wikipedia entry. These guys - straight up "hard rock, heavy metal, rock and roll".

Try as I may, I've never found any AC/DC song the slightest bit appealing. Ugh. That voice. I love Led Zeppelin and like the screaming eunuch from Rush, but this...no, never. I've tried for decades. Just can't. When this guy screams it's no longer music.

Without doubt, the loudest band I've ever seen live. I thought my ears were bleeding.

I've never been much of a fan as AC/DC always just sounded screechy to me.  However, somehow it caught me just now and now it's up LOUD!

This song used to be played before every Portland Winterhawks hockey game.  I swear it got the fans into a froth and we typically kicked some serious fanny for first few minutes.  amazing energy!

This is a GREAT drinking game. Sit around a campfire, someone drinks until the next "Thunderstruck" comes along. One person gets BLASTED during the second verse.

I wonder if any military units use this song?  It'd be perfect for an armor advance.

No offence to Bon, but I think the new singer nailed this one.

Lovely bloke Brian but I can't listen to his broken voice. Mutt Lange
did an amazing job with it on Back In Black, it was already on the wane
on For Those About To Rock, and after that it makes me reach for the throat medicine myself.

Bon on the other hand.

I used to have to listen to this every morning on the way to work to get me in the mood. Opening song in the one concert I saw. They know how to rock a crowd.
