Due to it's enormous popularity, the song has become a permanent fixture on AC/DC's live setlist. Furthermore, it was on regular rotation on classic rock and rock n' roll radio stations. There wasn't a party in the 80s without this song playing. It's, in fact, still a heavy favorite among rock n' roll fans even after thirty years later.
As it's often the case with most AC/DC songs, "You Shock Me All Night Long" abide by the principles of rock n' roll: sex, drugs and rock n' roll itself.
Analysis of lyrics:
She was a fast machine she kept her motor clean1 - probably means she's very athletic. "Machine "and "motor" are analogies.
Knocking me out with those American thighs4 - giving little bit about the lady's background: she's American, athletic, and as a result, has strong legs.
And we were making it11 - making love
I'm working double time16 - working hard to keep the lady happy.
Had to cool me down to take another round21 - have sex one more time :-)
Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing22 - another sex reference
- 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
- And you shook me all night long
- Yeah you shook me all night long
- I'm working double time on the seduction line
- She's one of a kind she's just mine all mine
- Wanted no applause it's 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
- Cause the walls were shaking the earth was quaking
- My mind was aching
- And we were making it
- And you shook me all night long
- Yeah you shook me all night long
- Knocked me out I said you
- Shook me all night long
- You had me shaking and you
- Shook me all night long
- Yeah you shook me
- When you took me
- You really took me and you
- Shook me all night long
- 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
