Thunderstruck

Vamos por un clásico. Sí, sí, nada de clásicos Indie o dance del año 2005.

Señoras y señores: AC/DC. Con más quince años de carrera a sus espaldas, superar la muerte de Bonn Scott y tra unos años de cierto declive, en el año 1990 vuelven a la carga  y llegan a los puestos más altos de las listas con el The Razors Edge (1990) que, sin ser un gran disco (como lo pueden ser el Highway to Hell -1979- o el Back in Black -1980) arranca con este trallazo increible que es el Thunderstruck.

Fantástico el riff de arranque de la canción (uno de los más grandes de la historia del Rock), genial el crescendo de instrumentos a los Smoke on the Water. Todo un himno, de una época. De mi juventud. Un clásico, vamos.

Videoclip original

En directo, en Donington en 1991

I was caught
In the middle of a railroad track (Thunder)
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

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
You've been thunderstruck
