I am continuing my series of Songs that if you happen to look out your house exterior camera's and you see this...
So you grab a CD or an MP3 and load this song into the stereo and get ready....
I normally do "Monday Music" on Monday but yesterday was "Veterans Day" and it didn't seem proper so y'all get "Monday Music on Tuesday....YAY!!!!
I decided to go with AC/DC "thunderstruck" This song hit in 1990 while I was in Germany and it was very popular, this was one song that every would play LOUD. Something about good crunching Heavy Metal Rock and Roll. When we were in the Gulf, we had dedicated this song to Saddam Hussain and his Republican Guard as they were "Thunderstruck" by the United States Military.
"Thunderstruck" is the first song on the 1990 album The Razors Edge by the hard rock group AC/DC.
The song was released as a single in Germany, Australia, and Japan, and peaked at No. 5 on U.S. the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks. In 2010, "Thunderstruck" topped Triple M's Ultimate 500 Rock Countdown in Melbourne, Australia. The top five were all AC/DC songs.
With the exception of new material from an album they are touring behind, this is one of only two songs released after Back in Black that the band still regularly performs live in concert, the other being "For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)".
Angus Young stated in the liner notes of the 2003 re-release of The Razors Edge:
The video which accompanied the single was filmed at London's Brixton Academy on 17 August 1990. The audience members were given free T-shirts with the words "AC/DC – I was Thunderstruck" on the front and the date on the back, and these T-shirts were worn by the entire audience throughout the filming of the video.

Angus Young stated in the liner notes of the 2003 re-release of The Razors Edge:
It started off from a little trick I had on guitar. I played it to Mal and he said 'Oh, I've got a good rhythm idea that will sit well in the back.' We built the song up from that. We fiddled about with it for a few months before everything fell into place. Lyrically, it was really just a case of finding a good title ... We came up with this thunder thing, based on our favorite childhood toy ThunderStreak, and it seemed to have a good ring to it. AC/DC = Power. That's the basic idea.The song has sold over a million digital copies since it became available for digital download.

Ah yes, AC/DC... :-)
