Don't Know Much About History

Hot off the heels of Back in Black
A face melting 10 track
From the opening with cannon blast and more
It went to number one, Back in Black only number four
What? You question and rightly so
How did Back in Black peak so low?
Not sure, but none are out done 
All AC/DC albums are number one
Even Powerage (the anti-disco disc) 
And Flick of the Switch
Will scratch where you itch 
      (don't scratch the vinyl)
Or Fly on the Wall some say
Doesn't fly the AC/DC way 
Hey it's all AC/DC when tracks are laid down
So put it in the 8-track, cassette or CD 
     into the player and rock your hometown
So when I listen to AC/DC my neighbors do too
All the way through (the mists of time):

For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)

(P.S. Thank you Daniel Mannix for the history of the Coliseum in Rome
       AC/DC wouldn't have had the inspiration without reading your tome)

(P.S.S. AC/DC music has spawned more air guitarists
          Than any other group or suzerainty or boxcarists)
