The song also reappeared on their later album Who Made Who. It is one of the band's top 40 singles, reaching number 35 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart in 1980. The single was re-released internationally in 1986 following the release of the album Who Made Who. "You Shook Me All Night Long" placed at No. 10 on VH1's list of "The 100 Greatest Songs of the 80s". It was also No. 1 on VH1's "Top Ten AC/DC Songs". In the song, the lead singer Brian Johnson relates the story of a night with a beautiful woman. Guitar World placed "You Shook Me All Night Long" number 80 on their "100 Greatest Guitar Solos" list. The re-released single in 1986 contains the B-side(s): B1. "She's Got Balls" (Live, Bondi Lifesaver '77); B2. "You Shook Me All Night Long" (Live '83 - 12" maxi-single only). The song has also become a staple of AC/DC concerts, almost never being excluded from the setlist,[1] and it has also been considered their signature song, competing with "Back in Black " and "Highway to Hell" for the title. There are three live versions of this song that have been officially released. The first one on the 1986 maxi-single "You Shook Me All Night Long", the second one from the band's album Live, the third one is on the soundtrack to the Howard Stern movie Private Parts.There are two versions to the music video. The first version, directed by Eric Dionysius and Eric Mistler,[2] is similar to the other Back in Black videos ("Back in Black", "Hells Bells", "What Do You Do for Your Money Honey", "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution", and "Let Me Put My Love Into You") and is only available on the special Back in Black, The Videos which could be obtained by purchasing a recent Back in Black album. It is also available in the Backtracks box set. In the second version, directed by David Mallet[3] and released six years after the song's original release, Angus and Malcolm Young follow Brian around, with Angus in his signature schoolboy outfit. This version of the video for "You Shook Me All Night Long" is perhaps one of the most controversial film clips AC/DC ever released. The video clip casts Corinne Russell, a former Hill's Angel and Page 3 Girl, along with other leather clad women with zippers at the groin region of their suits; however, a softer, censored alternative version exists without these shots. It was revealed on the VH1 series "Pop-up Video" that during the shot with the mechanical bull, the woman playing Brian's lover accidentally jabbed herself with her spur twice. The roadie who came to her aid married her a year later; Angus gave them a mechanical bull for a wedding present as a joke. Also according to "Pop-up Video", when asked about the meaning of the video, the band said that its goal was to, quote, "be as politically incorrect as possible." "You Shook Me All Night Long" was also the second song to be played by AC/DC on Saturday Night Live in 2000, following their performance of "Stiff Upper Lip."
