Taggart's Take

Brian Johnson

Lyrics

Now tonight, we focus on rock history. AC/DC were about to take the world by storm with their bold hit album, Back in Black. They had some problems during the session. Singer Brian Johnson just replacing the passed away Bon Scott there, who's drinking obviously from nervousness. Now, mix that with drummer Phil Rudd not being able to hear him when he's trying to talk in the studio, and you have yourself a bit of a cocktail of excitement, I'll tell ya. Listen to this.

Brian Johnson: I made the mistake of having a couple o' too many o' pints. Oh s***!

Phil Rudd: You sing in the bathroom all the time!

Brian Johnson: You should ha'e seen the bonnie lass I had in the john at the bar earlier. Ah Jesus, hold up.

Back in black
I hit the sack
It been to long I'm glad to be back
And I'm cut loose
From the noose
I never thought I would be hanging around
And now....

Hey hey hey hey, fellows, [?] Stop! I can't hear ya! Phil! Phil! Can you hear me?

Back in black!
And I'm back in black!

Oh, rararara.

Phil!

Nine lives!
Cat's eyes!
Asavablackababa hanging around!
And I'm rovenaravenana ha
I got no f***in' lyrics, I don't know where I'm going here.
Boys!
Jesus!

Hey hey hey hey hey!
Hey hey hey hey hey!
Hey hey hey hey hey!
Hey hey hey hey!

Boys!
I'm making a mockery of it. Come on, stop the song! Hey what can I do here? I apologize, I've had a few too many drinks but let's not make a mockery. Think of Bon here, think of Bon!
