How AC/DC’s 'Big Balls' Went From Album Filler to a Laugh-Out-Loud Classic

from Professor of Rock

Coming up, the story behind Ac/DC's Big Balls, a song with a dual meaning that makes the puritans blush, and even the most uptight fuddy daddy truly fall on the floor laughing! It was written by rock icon Bon Scott who was always the life of the party to his detriment. In a drunken daze, Bon turned his fascination with one of his body parts into a song meant as filler for an album, but Big Balls became a surprising classic rock standard. One that everyone who has come of age since the 70s has laughed about with their friends for days on end! We’re gonna loosen up the shackles of self-righteousness, and have some fun telling the story of this “ballsy” track. NEXT on Professor of Rock. Learn more about your ad choices.
