LOST IN LYRICS
"It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)" is a song by Australian hard rock band AC/DC. It is the first track of their Australian album T.N.T., released in December 1975 (see 1975 in music), and was written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young and Bon Scott. Musically, the song is notable for combining bagpipes with hard rock electric guitars, drums, and bass
The song is about the travails of using rock 'n' roll as a vehicle for success. As detailed by the song, perils of being in a rock 'n' roll band include getting:
• Robbed
• Stoned
• Beat up
• Broken-boned
• Had
• Took
• Grey
• Ripped off
• Under-paid
• Sold second-hand
• Doing "one-night stands"
• Old
In May 2001, Australasian Performing Rights Association (APRA) celebrated its 75th anniversary by naming the Best Australian Songs of all time, as decided by a 100-member industry panel, "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)" was ranked as the ninth song on the list.[5]The song is regularly played during stoppages at AFL matches at the ANZ stadium in Sydney
It is common in Australia to sing "It's a long way to the shop if you wanna sausage roll", or less commonly "It's a long way to the shop if you wanna Chiko Roll", or "It's a long way to the Cross if you wanna fuck a moll" ("the Cross" referencing Kings Cross, Sydney's notorious red-light district).

4. Has three times the testosterone of a normal woman.
