"You Shook Me All Night" currently sits at No. 25 on Billboard's Hard Rock Streaming Songs charts, almost 46 years since it was originally released in mid August of 1980. The track has proven that the band still stands as one of the most iconic in the genre and music industry, with its backstory one that tugs at the heart.
Johnson would reveal that guitarists Angus and Malcolm Young had already developed the base of the track and asked him to create its lyrics. Wanting to impress his new bandmates, he wrote the rest of the song that same night.
"You Shook Me All Night" landed at No. 35 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts upon its release, but became a solidified classic among fans. It's often been tagged as one of the best tracks of the '80s and for having one of the greatest guitar solos of all time. Johnson calls it one of his favorites and "I still think it’s one of the greatest rock and roll riffs I’ve ever heard in my life."
Journalist Malcolm Dome also reported many times that Scott had shown him his book of ideas and scribbles of songs for the band. Many of them were for the Back to Black album, with certain scribbled lyrics later becoming part of "You Shook Me All Night Long." Scott has never been officially credited for creating the track, with Dome saying, "to this day no one's really sure what happened."
