Despite being the title of the 1976 album, Atlantic Records in the U.S. didn’t want to release “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” as a single. It had nothing to do with what would eventually lead to the lawsuit. It was the simple fact that the record studio didn’t like it, despite it already being released in Australia in 1976 and then in the United Kingdom in 1977.
This was despite a legal battle that swiftly started after the release of the track. It all came down to the phone number — or, at least, what sounds like a phone number — in the track. The “36-24-36-Hey” sounds a lot like the number “362-4368,” and teenagers and prank callers quickly decided to dial it. It’s encouraged in the song, right?
The case never went to court, and it didn’t matter that the numbers were actually a mention of the shape of a woman. It was settled outside of court, with the record label paying the couple. The initial lawsuit also asked for AC/DC to record a different version of the song with a new number, but that didn’t happen. Eventually, the couple changed their number, and they were able to go back to a peaceful life.
