AC/DC - Blow Up Your Video: Wikipedia Album Entry
Blow Up Your Video is an album by the Australian hard rock band AC/DC, first released on 18 January 1988. The album was recorded at the Miraval Studio in Le Val, France in between August and September 1987.
The album was produced by Harry Vanda and George Young, the production team behind the band's early albums. This was also the final studio album to feature drummer Simon Wright.
The album was the band's biggest-selling album of new material since For Those About To Rock, We Salute You, being certified Platinum in the US. Blow Up Your Video reached #2 in the UK and #12 in the US. However, the band played four tracks from it on the subsequent world tour, "Heatseeker", "That's the Way I Wanna Rock 'n' Roll", "Nick of Time", and "Go Zone" -- "Heatseeker" and "That's The Way I Wanna Rock 'n' Roll" are also featured on AC/DC Live Collector's Edition. "Heatseeker" was a top 20 hit in the United Kingdom. The album was re-released in 2003 as part of the AC/DC Remasters series. During the Blow Up Your Video world tour, Malcolm Young decided not to participate in touring because he wanted to get over an alcohol addiction. Filling in for him was Malcolm and Angus' nephew, Stevie Young, although Malcolm is present in the Blow Up Your Video promotional videos.
Several outtakes from the recording sessions include several songs not on the album called, "Let It Loose", and "Alright Tonight", as well as other versions of "Heatseeker", and "That's the Way I Wanna Rock 'n' Roll".

AC/DC - Blow Up Your Video Lyrics
AC/DC - That's The Way I Wanna Rock 'n' Roll Lyrics
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
AC/DC - Some Sin For Nuthin' Lyrics
Heroes, hard to find
Don't make the news 'til they're doin' time
Schemers turn the screw
They get the word and they drop on you
AC/DC - Go Zone Lyrics
Once I need relaxation
Need to get some r 'n' r
(that's rest and recreation)
Don't need no vacation
AC/DC - Kissin Dynamite Lyrics
Here she come, here she come
Eating up the thrill
Sugar cane, sugar cane
Dressin' up to kill
AC/DC - Meanstreak Lyrics
I've been to the left, I've been to the right
I've found myself in abudhabi, just a mirage in the night
Been to the high, I've been to the low
And I've been to lots of places that I didn't wanna go
AC/DC - Nick of Time Lyrics
Wrong track, wrong line
First train to run on time
Bad blood, bad news
Long rope, got nothing to lose
AC/DC - Ruff Stuff Lyrics
I like 'em big and I like 'em small
And if I had to take the oath I would take them all
Give me that ruff stuff
(it's what I want)
AC/DC - This Means War Lyrics
(you get your head down, will you)
I want you to march
