I Love Rock and Roll by АС/DC (2024)

Party gonna happen at the union hall
Shaking to the rhythm 'til everybody fall
Picking up my woman in my Chevrolet
Glory hallelujah gonna rock the night away

I'm gonna roll, roll, roll
I'm gonna roll, roll, roll
I'm gonna take this town, turn it around

I'm gonna roll, roll, roll

Now there's a blue suede bopping on a high heeled shoe
Balling round together like a wrecking crew
Oh, be bopper lubba baby what I say
You gotta get a dose of rock and roll on each and every day

We're gonna roll, roll, roll
We're gonna roll, roll, roll
We're gonna take this town, turn it around
We're gonna roll, roll, roll

I'm gonna blow up my video
Shut down my radio
Told boss man where to go
Turned off my brain control
That's the way I want my rock and roll
That's the way I want my rock and roll

That's the way
Ooh, that's the way I like my rock and roll
That the way I want my rock and roll

That's the way
That's the way
That's the way I want my rock and roll
That's the way
That's the way
That's the way I want my rock and roll
That's the way
That's the way
Oh!
To rock and roll!
Roll, roll, roll
I'm gonna roll, roll, roll
I'm gonna take this town, turn it around
I'm gonna roll, roll, roll

I'm gonna roll, roll, roll
That's the way I want it
Roll, roll, roll
Gotta hear it loud
Gonna take this town, turn it 'round
Gonna roll, roll, roll

Blow up my video
Shut down my radio
Told boss man where to go
Turned off my brain control
That's the way I want my rock and roll
That's the way I want my rock and roll

That's the way I want my rock and roll

"I Love Rock and Roll" is a high-energy rock song that encourages listeners to celebrate the power and freedom of rock and roll music. The first verse of the song sets the scene for a wild party at the union hall, where everyone is dancing to the rhythm of the music. The singer is excited to be there with his woman in his Chevrolet and is ready to rock the night away. The chorus emphasizes the singer's desire to "roll" and "take this town, turn it around" through the power of music.

The second verse describes a couple dancing together, showing how rock and roll has the ability to bring people together in a shared experience. The chorus is repeated and leads into a bridge where the singer proclaims his devotion to rock and the way he wants it to be experienced. He rejects all other forms of media and control, stating that he needs to hear his rock music loud and live, in order to feel truly alive.

The final chorus repeats the main refrain of "roll, roll, roll" and the song ends on a high-energy note. Throughout the song, the lyrics are filled with action words like "blow up," "roll," and "turn around" that emphasize the power and excitement of rock and roll.

Party gonna happen at the union hall
There's going to be a fun event at the union hall

Shaking to the rhythm 'til everybody fall
We'll dance energetically until we can't anymore

Picking up my woman in my Chevrolet
I'll go get my partner in my Chevrolet car

Glory hallelujah gonna rock the night away
We'll have an amazing night of rock and roll fun

I'm gonna roll, roll, roll
I'm going to enjoy rock and roll music to the fullest

Now there's a blue suede bopping on a high heeled shoe
People of various styles are dancing together

Balling round together like a wrecking crew
We're dancing with intensity and passion, like a team of demolition experts

Oh, be bopper lubba baby what I say
Hey there, fans of rock and roll music

You gotta get a dose of rock and roll on each and every day
You need to enjoy rock and roll regularly to feel its power

I'm gonna blow up my video
I'm going to stop watching videos and focus on music instead

Shut down my radio
I won't listen to radio anymore, because I prefer rock and roll

Told boss man where to go
I stood up to my boss and asserted my independence

Turned off my brain control
I'm not letting anyone control my thoughts or preferences

That's the way I want my rock and roll
This is how I want to experience and appreciate rock and roll music

Roll, roll, roll
Enjoying rock and roll music to the fullest

Gotta hear it loud
I want the music to be played loudly, for maximum effect

That's the way I want it
This is my preferred way to enjoy rock and roll music

Gonna take this town, turn it 'round
Through rock and roll music, we'll change the atmosphere of our town
