AC/DC | You Shook Me All Night Long (1980)

"You Shook Me All Night Long" is a song by Australian hard rock band AC/DC, from the album Back in Black. The song also reappeared on their later album Who Made Who.

It is AC/DC's first single with Brian Johnson as the lead singer, replacing Bon Scott who officially died of alcohol poisoning in February 1980, though there have been allegations he succumbed to a drug overdose combined with alcohol.


It reached number 35 on the USA's Hot 100 pop singles chart in 1980. The single was re-released internationally in 1986, following the release of the album Who Made Who.


The re-released single in 1986 contains the B-side(s): B1. "She's Got Balls" (Live, Bondi Lifesaver '77); B2. "You Shook Me All Night Long" (Live '83 – 12-inch maxi-single only).


In January 2018, as part of Triple M's "Ozzest 100", the 'most Australian' songs of all time, "You Shook Me All Night Long" was ranked number 63.
