Let there be rock!

In the beginning...
Back in nineteen fifty-five
Man didn't know about a rock 'n' roll show
And all that jive

The white man had the smoltz
The black man had the blues
No one knew what they was gonna do

But Tchaikovsky had the news
He said -
"Let there be sound", (there was sound)
"let there be light", (there was light)
"Let there be drums", (there was drums)
"Let there be guitar", (there was guitar)
"Let there be rock"

And it came to pass
That rock 'n' roll was born
All across the land every rockin' band
Was blowing up a storm

And the guitarman got famous
The businessman got rich
And in every bar there was a super star
With a seven year itch

There were fifteen million fingers
Learning how to play
And you could hear the fingers picking
And this is what they had to say
"Let there be light!"
"Sound!"
"Drums!"
"Guitar!"
"Let there be rock!!"

One night in a club called `The Shaking Hand'
There was a ninety-two decibel rocking band
And the music was good and the music was loud
And the singer turned and he said to the crowd -
"Let there be rock!"

Hilarious video here (it's a wonder angus young's head doesn't fall off)

So now you know which AC/DC song mentions Chai-ka-visky.

"But rock and roll is middle class. Haven't you noticed?"
