AC/DC (see also best songs 245 and 170) were formed in 1973 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, by the Scottish born brothers Malcolm (1953-2017,) and Angus Young. They have sold in excess of 200 million records, with their 1980 Album ‘Back In Black,’ being the second highest selling Album of all time, with sales of over 50 million copies.

‘Whole Lotta Rosie’ is based on the true experiences of Bon Scott, who was born Ronald Scott in Forfar, Scotland on July 9th, 1946, he died on February 19th, 1980, like the Young brothers, he had also emigrated to Australia from Scotland as a child.

The story goes that one night after a show, Scott was propositioned by an obese Tasmanian woman, they ended up spending the night together at the Freeway Gardens Motel, in North Melbourne.Despite her size Scott found her to be one of the most talented lovers he had ever experienced (see also best songs 939.)

The songs intro is based on the 1955 Chuck Berry song,’No Money Down,’ which AC/DC originally used as the main riff for an earlier song of their’s called ‘Dirty Eyes,’ which they re-worked in to ‘Whole Lotta Rosie.’

‘She ain’t exactly pretty, ain’t exactly small, ’42,’ ’39,’ ’56,’ you could say she’s got it all.’
