"You Shook Me All Night Long" is one of AC/DC's signature songs from their most successful album, Back in Black. The song also reappeared on their later album Who Made Who. It is one of the band's top 40 singles, reaching number 35 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart in 1980. The single was re-released internationally in 1986 following the release of the album Who Made Who. "You Shook Me All Night Long" placed at No. 10 on VH1's list of "The 100 Greatest Songs of the 80s". It was also No. 1 on VH1's "Top Ten AC/DC Songs". In the song, the lead singer Brian Johnson relates the story of a night with a beautiful woman. Guitar World placed "You Shook Me All Night Long" number 80 on their "100 Greatest Guitar Solos" list. The re-released single in 1986 contains the B-side(s): B1. "She's Got Balls" (Live, Bondi Lifesave '77); B2. "You Shook Me All Night Long" (Live '83 - 12" maxi-single only). The song has also become a staple of AC/DC concerts, almost never being excluded from the setlist,[1] and it has also been considered their signature song, competing with "Back in Black " and "Highway to Hell" for the title. There are at least two live versions of this song that have been officially released. One of them is on the band's album Live, the other is on the soundtrack to the Howard Stern movie Private Parts.

[Verse 1] She was a fast machine, she kept her motor clean She was the best damn woman that I ever seen She had the sightless eyes, telling me no lies Knocking 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 [Chorus] And you shook me all night long Yeah, you shook me all night long [Verse 2] Working double-time on the seduction line She's one of a kind, she's just a-mine all mine Wanted no applause, just another course Made a meal outta me, and come back for more Had to cool me down to take another round Now, I'm back in the ring to take another swing That the walls were shaking, the Earth was quaking My mind was aching, and we were making it [Chorus] And you shook me all night long Yeah, you shook me all night long It knocked me out that You shook me all night long It had me shaking And you shook me all night long Yeah, you shook me Well, you took me [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] You really took me and You shook me all night long Ah, you shook me all night long Yeah, yeah, you shook me all night long You really got me and you, shook me all night long Yeah, you shook me Yeah, you shook me All night long
