AC/DC: Thuderstruck

En 1990, ACDC sacaban a la venta The razors edge, posiblemente uno de sus discos más admirados. En él se encontraba la canción que viene al caso, Thunderstruck. Probablemente uno de los "himnos" del rock, y con toda seguridad una de las canciones más aclamadas del grupo. Gracias a un inicio extremadamente arrollador, con un solo de guitarra de los que ponen los pelos de punta, Thunderstruck es una de las mejores canciones de ACDC. Fundamental.

La primera vez que escuché Thuderstruck debía tener unos 15 años (me inicié muy tarde en la banda de los Young). Fue durante el concurso de playback del pueblo. Allí, uno de los participantes imitaron (bastante bien por cierto) a ACDC con este tema. A partir de ahí, cada vez comencé a escuchar más y más a estos tipos. Hasta el día de hoy, en que lamento no poder ir al concierto.



Letra:

(Thunder) (x10)
I was caught
In the middle of a railroad track
(Thunder) [...of a lightning attack]
I looked round
And I knew there was no turning back
(Thunder)
My mind raced
And I thought what could I do
(Thunder)
And I knew
There was no help, no help from you
(Thunder)
Sound of the drums
Beatin' in my heart
The thunder of guns
Tore me apart
You've been - thunderstruck
Went down the highway
Broke the limit, we hit the town
Went through to Texas, yeah Texas
And we had some fun
We met some girls
Some dancers who gave a good time
Broke all the rules, played all the fools
Yeah, yeah, they, they, they blew our minds
I was shakin' at the knees
Could I come again please?
Yeah the ladies were too kind
You've been - thunderstruck, thunderstruck
Yeah yeah yeah, thunderstruck
Yeah
Oh, thunderstruck, yeah
Now we're shaking at the knees
Could I come again please?
Thunderstruck, thunderstruck
Yeah yeah yeah, thunderstruck
Thunderstruck, yeah, yeah, yeah
Said yeah, it's alright
We're doing fine
Yeah, it's alright
We're doing fine
(So fine) Thunderstruck, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Tunderstruck, thunderstruck, thunderstruck
Whoa baby, baby, thunderstruck
You've been thunderstruck, thunderstruck
Thunderstruck, thunderstruck, thunderstruck
You've been thunderstruck

La frase: Broke all the rules, played all the fools
