Seriousquestion from the parents. I can thing of nothing. I even considered if "Let Me Put MY Love into You" could be reinterpreted as a worship song, or "Giving the Dog a Bone" might be recast as about him and his boxer dog that will be buried with him.

The dog is old and has serious neurological problems. She cannot hold urine, and cannot walk more than six feet without falling over. The parents were putting off the inevitable mercy kill of the dog because Josh loved her so much. My wife and I are taking the dog Monday to the vet and crematory, so she can be buried with her master.


Giving the dog a bone would be a BAD choice in my opinion. As would any of their sexual songs. If you want something up tempo then Long way to the top would be good. Or maybe back in black, or like seblo said for those about to rock.


Josh was one of our neighbor kids. I generally dislike kids, but he was so damn smart and analytical, he was fun to be around. He regularly came by the house to talk, watch a movie, help Kelly cook, play some guitar, or just sit and hang out.


Josh was diabetic. Overnight he went into a diabetic coma, was given CPR for 30 minutes, but his brain was dead. His organs were donated, and his funeral is Wednesday. His bearers will be football team members, and he will be transported in his father's pick-up truck. He loved rock music in general, and AC/DC in particular. He is the closest to a son I have ever had.


The title track to AC/DC's 1977 LP has a very simple concept: What would the Bible have sounded like had it been written by AC/DC? The song goes all the way back to 1955 and traces the history of the genre in biblical speak. "Let there be drums," Bon Scott sings as the voice of God. "There was drums/Let there be guitar/There was guitar/Let there be rock." The song didn't chart outside of their native Australia, but within months the band began to find a global audience.


For most bands, a song as amazing as "Shoot to Thrill" would be a career highlight. But for AC/DC, it wasn't even good enough to come out as a single off Back in Black. Radio embraced it anyway, and the song has become one of their classics. It later found a new audience in 2010, when it was included on the soundtrack to Iron Man 2.


Try to put yourself into the shoes of an AC/DC fan back in July of 1980. Bon Scott's been dead for just five months, and already there's a new album in stores with some new guy on vocals. To make matters worse, his name is Brian, a name about a hundredth as cool as Bon. It would be hard to be anything but a little skeptical, at least until you hit play and heard the first song. The tune begins with clanging church bells before this amazing new singer informs you that "you're only young, but you're gonna die." It was clear, even after 30 seconds, that they'd pulled off a miracle.


Highway to Hell finally broke AC/DC all over the world. New producer Robert "Mutt" Lange helped the band craft songs that popped on radio, and none worked quite as brilliantly as the title track, an account of the trials and tribulations of touring, matched with one of the best riffs the Young brothers ever strummed. When it hit big, the band was at least guaranteed an easier time on the road. This seemed like the beginning of a new era in Bon Scott's life, but sadly, it was his final chapter.


AC/DC's 1976 track is a bit divisive. Most fans love it, but some dismissively label it a ballad. To our ears, the track is a slow blues number where Bon Scott gets a chance to pour his heart out over a woman that did him wrong and the booze that's slowly destroying him. "Got another empty bottle," he sings. "And another empty bed/Ain't too young to admit it/And I'm too old to lie/I'm just another empty head." The track was originally cut for Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, and it re-appeared on the soundtrack to soundtrack to Stephen King's Maximum Overdrive in 1986.


AC/DC have never been too worried about political correctness. Take their 1977 classic "Whole Lotta Rosie." It's the (supposedly) true-life tale of the time that Bon Scott had a one night stand with an overweight Tasmanian woman. What she lacks in looks, she more than makes up for in experience and enthusiasm for the act. "Never had a woman like you," Bon sang. "Doin' all the thing you do." The song was one of their first to break outside of Australia and it remains a staple of their live show to this day, complete with an inflated Rosie doll that never fails to get the crowd roaring.


AC/DC were down in the Bahamas working on Back in Black when new frontman Brian Johnson saw a couple of American women. "They were just so beautiful," he said. "They were blond, bronzed, tall. . .so I just was just using my imagination; what I could do if I could." He wanted to shake them all night long, cool down and then come back for another round. Not everyone thought the line about their "American thighs" was wise, but the band wisely stuck to their guns. It was a huge hit all across the world and remains their signature song.


By 1990, AC/DC were beginning to seem like yesterday's news. It had been 10 long years since Back in Black, and although they remained a popular live act, they had a hard time scoring new hits. That all changed with "Thunderstruck," an enormous song that sounds like a vicious thunderstorm. It helped new LP The Razors Edge sell millions of records, and it's been a highlight of their stage show ever since.


AC/DC could have easily cobbled together a maudlin, nostalgic record honoring Bon Scott after the frontman passed away in 1980, but they realized a better way to honor his memory was to create the most bombastic, hardest rocking record of their lives. With the help of new singer Brian Johnson, they succeeded beyond anything they could have imagined. The title track is a celebration of Bon and a vivid reminder the band still had plenty of life. It's been used in countless TV shows, movies and commercials over the years, but it somehow still retains its primal power.


Last summer, Paul Marshall, a DJ at the classic rock station 100.7 KSLX in Phoenix Arizona, went the distance in trying to answer a question: how many AC/DC songs end in pretty much the same way? The result of his study is the supercut below. On his Facebook page, Marshall writes:


Open Culture scours the web for the best educational media. We find the free courses and audio books you need, the language lessons & educational videos you want, and plenty of enlightenment in between.


With such an immense catalog (17 studio albums), the Australian rock powerhouse also own an incredible amount of rock's most enduring hit songs. This means an overwhelming amount of setlist staples must be considered before hitting the stage, thus resigning dozens and dozens of tracks to studio-only recordings.


With nearly 200 songs to their name, a significant amount of AC/DC's work has been performed live, although, curiously, a total of seven tracks were one-and-done, offering some lucky fans a truly once in a lifetime opportunity. You usually only see a couple from a band's catalog that are broken out once and that's it, so there was something about a fair share of their own songs that AC/DC just didn't feel right about in the live setting.


There's also a lot of songs from late in the AC/DC discography that appear in this list. But, hey, it's tough to compete with over a dozen albums of material. Go form an AC/DC tribute band if you want them to be played live because, this late in the game, those more modern tracks are almost definitely staying locked up.


Ain't No Fun (Waiting Round To Be A Millionaire) is a song by Australian hard rock band AC/DC. It is the second track of their Australian album Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, released in September 1976 (see 1976 in music), and was written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young, and Bon Scott. It is AC/DC's longest studio recording.


"Ain't No Fun (Waiting Round To Be A Millionaire)" is the seventh track on the international version of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, released in November 1976. The international version was not released in the United States until April 1981 (see 1981 in music).


The best Bon Scott AC/DC songs lighten the sense of menace found within the band's lyrics and music with the sense of humor and self-deprecation that made the singer so charismatic and beloved. Here's our list of the Top 10 Bon Scott AC/DC songs:


7. "The Jack"

From: High Voltage (1976 - USA)

Okay, let's get this out of the way -- this song is not about a game of cards, despite what the official recorded lyrics might tell you. In fact, it's among the worst-kept secrets in rock music that this track is about an overly friendly houseful of women that gave Scott and his bandmates "the clap." In concert, the band frequently spells things out a bit more clearly with different lyrics.
