Song

"You Shook Me All Night Long" is a hit song by the hard rock band AC/DC that appeared on 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 in the North American pop singles chart in 1980. It is regarded by some as AC/DC's biggest hit.

"You Shook Me All Night Long" placed at No. 10 on VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Songs of the 80's. In the song, the lead singer Brian Johnson relates the story of a night with a beautiful woman. The woman is identified in the lyrics as American, which perhaps contributes to the song's enduring popularity in the US.

There are two versions to the music video. In one, Angus and Malcolm Young follow Brian around, with Angus in his signature schoolboy outfit. The other is similar to the other Back in Black videos ("Back in Black", "Hells Bells", "What Do You Do for Your Money Honey", "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution", and "Shoot to Thrill") and is only available on the special Back in Black, The Videos which could be attained by purchasing a recent Back in Black album. "You Shook Me All Night Long" was also the second song to be played by AC/DC on Saturday Night Live in 2000, following their performance of "Stiff Upper Lip."

There are two live versions to this song. One of them is on the band's album Live, the other is on the soundtrack to the Howard Stern movie Private Parts.

"You Shook Me All Night Long" is perhaps one of the most controversial film clips AC/DC ever released. The film casts many leather clad women with zippers at the groin region of their suits; however, a softer censored alternative version exists without these shots.
