There have been a lot of Australians (or "Ozzies") on this HondoJoe Top 200. We've had a few songs from Met At Work. There was INXS. And, of course, a bunch from Midnight Oil. But here we have the top song by an act from Australia: "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC!
If this song doesn't get you pumped up, I don't know what will. It's got a great build-it-up-a-piece-at-a-time beginning. It starts with some guitar. Next, some chanting of "Uh-ahh-ahh-uh-ahh." Then we get the "Thunder!" shouts, accompanied by some pounding drums. Next, the lead singer joins in on the "Thunder!" shouts, and we get another layer of guitars. Finally, the silky-smooth voice of the lead singer breaks into some lyrics.
My kids really like this song. They'll join in on both the "Uh-ahh-ahh-uh-ahh" and "Thunder!" chants.
Before this song I always kinda liked AC/DC. Some of their songs were pretty good, and they definitely knew how to rock, and I saluted them for that. But, this song is just on such another level of awesomeness. The guitars, the drums, the screeching vocals all blend together perfectly.
And, of course, it also helps that they are easy on the eyes!
