AC/DC - HIGH VOLTAGE
"High Voltage" is a song by Australian hard rock band AC/DC. It is the eighth track of their Australian album T.N.T, released in December 1975 (see 1975 in music), and was written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young, and Bon Scott. "High Voltage" shares a name with the band's first Australian and international albums, and is also the ninth and final track on the international version, released in May 1976 (see 1976 in music). A little known fact about this song is that the chorus uses the chords A, C, D, and C in progression, after a suggestion from Angus and Malcolm Young's brother, George Young, who also produced the High Voltage album. In the song's lyrics, the singer answers questions from an unnamed second party, pertaining to the singer's physical appearance, interests, activities, and general existence. The singer's answer to every question is "high voltage rock 'n' roll." "High Voltage" is one of AC/DC's most popular songs, and has been included on four of the band's five official live albums: If You Want Blood You've Got It (sung by Bon Scott, 1978), Live: 2 CD Collector's Edition (sung by Scott's replacement Brian Johnson, 1992), Live from the Atlantic Studios (Scott, 1977), and Let There Be Rock: The Movie (Scott, 1979), with the last two being released in 1997 as part of the Bonfire box set.

AC/DC - WHO MADE WHO
"Who Made Who" is a song by the Australian Hard Rock band AC/DC. This song, D.T., and Chase the Ace are the only new songs on "Who Made Who", because the album is not only a soundtrack to Stephen King's Maximum Overdrive, but a compilation CD. In the video to this song, fans and radio contest winners were dressed like Angus Young, and carried red cardboard guitars similar to Angus's. The song is unusual for an AC/DC song, as it begins with a bass guitar riff, which was a popular choice in the Bon Scott era, especially on the High Voltage and T.N.T. albums, but had become less common after Brian Johnson became lead singer.

AC/DC - IT'S A LONG WAY TO THE TOP
"It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)" is a song by Australian hard rock band AC/DC. It is the first track of their Australian album T.N.T., released in December 1975 (see 1975 in music), and was written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young and Bon Scott. It is also the first track on the international version of High Voltage, released in May 1976. Musically, the song is notable for combining bagpipes with hard rock electric guitars, drums, and bass. A slightly shorter version of the song is also the first track on the international version of High Voltage, released in May 1976 (see 1976 in music). This is on vinyl and 2003 remastered releases of the album only. CD releases include the full version. This song is also on the Volts CD of the Bonfire box set, released in 1997. This was a signature song for Scott, who also played the side drum in Coastal Scottish Pipe Band WA in the 1960s. Current AC/DC lead vocalist Brian Johnson doesn't perform it out of respect for his predecessor. The music video for "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)" was filmed on February 23, 1976 for the Australian music television program Countdown. It featured the band's then-current lineup, along with members of the Rats of Tobruk Pipe Band, on the back of a flat-bed truck traveling on Swanston Street in Melbourne, Australia. The Young brothers, Evans, Rudd and the Rats of Tobruk Pipe Band all appeared to play their instruments, while Scott sang and appeared to play bagpipes, as well. Known members of the Rats of Tobruk Pipe Band at the time of the video's filming include: Alan Butterworth, L. Kenfield and Kevin Conlon. The video is dubbed with the studio track from the T.N.T. album. The video was directed by Paul Drane. David Olney was the cameraman.
