AC DC
AC/DC es un grupo de hard rock que se formó en Sídney (Australia) en 1973 por los hermanos escoceses Malcolm y Angus Young.
Su primer concierto se llevó a cabo la noche de fin de año de 1973, coincidiendo con el lanzamiento de su sencillo Can I Sit Next to You Girl, cuyo cantante era Dave Evans.
Al principio se hicieron famosas sus actuaciones en vivo, gracias en parte al extravagante estilo de sus guitarristas principales, Angus Young e Imaé, generalmente vestido con uniforme de colegial en los conciertos. En 1975, con el lanzamiento del disco High Voltage se introdujo el nuevo cantante Bon Scott que marcaría una gran huella en la banda. Ese mismo año se trasladaron al Reino Unido, de donde procedían los hermanos Young, de ascendencia escocesa, e inmediatamente ocuparon los primeros puestos de ventas con discos como Let There Be Rock (1977) y Powerage (1978), a los que siguieron If You Want Blood You've Got It (1978) y el disco Highway to Hell (1979), del que se vendieron millones de copias.1 El 19 de febrero de 1980, el vocalista Bon Scott falleció por intoxicación etílica en el asiento trasero del coche de su amigo Alistair Kinnear y fue sustituido por Brian Johnson, quien pertenecía al grupo Geordie.
Letra
She gave me the queen
she gave me the king
she was wheelin' and dealin'
just doin' her thing
she was holdin' a pair
but i had to try
her deuce was wild
but my ace was high
but how was i to know
that she'd been dealt with before
said she'd never had a full house
but i should have known
from the tattoo on her left leg
and the garter on her right
she'd have the card to bring me down
if she played it right
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
she's got the jack, she's got the jack
she's got the jack, she's got the jack
she's got the jack, she's got the jack
she's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
she's got the jack
Poker face was her name
poker face was her nature
poker straight was her game
if she knew she could get you
she played 'em fast
and she played 'em hard
she could close her eyes
and feel every card
but how was i to know
that she'd been shuffled before
said she'd never had a royal flush
but i should have known
that all the cards were comin'
from the bottom of the pack
and if i'd known what she was dealin' out
i'd have dealt it back
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
she's got the jack, and who knows what else?
she's got the jack, yeah, yeah
she's got the jack, she's got the jack
she's got the jack, she's got the jack
she's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack,
ooh, it was a bad deal, (jack)
she gave me the (jack), hey
she's got the (jack), she's got the (jack)
she's got the (jack), ooh can't you tell
she's got the (jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack)

she's got the jack, she's got the jack
she's got the jack, you never know!
she's got the jack, she's got the jack
she's got the jack
she's got the jack, and it hurts!

Crazy Train
Crazy Train es una canción de Heavy metal escrita por Ozzy Osbourne, Randy Rhoads y Bob Daisley, del disco de 1980 Blizzard of Ozz. Fue grabada en vivo en 1981, y más tarde incluída en el álbum Tribute, lanzado el 19 de marzo de 1987, en conmemoración de la muerte del guitarrista Randy Rhoads.
El tema trata la crisis en la que se sumió Ozzy tras su expulsión de Black Sabbath, y de la que le ayudó a salir su esposa, Sharon Osbourne. Los versos "I'm going off the rails on a crazy train" ("voy rodando fuera de los raíles encima de un tren loco") y "I know that things are going wrong for me" ("sé que las cosas van mal para mí"), tratan su delicada situación personal, particularmente su adicción a las drogas, antes de y durante la época de grabación del álbum.

Letra
Crazy, but that's how it goes
millions of people living as foes
maybe it's not too late
to learn how to love
and forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing
life's a bitter shame
i'm going off the rails on the crazy train
I've listened too preachers
i've listened too fools
i've watched all the dropouts
who make their own rules
one person conditioned to rule and control
the media sells it and you live the role
Mental wounds still screaming
driving me insane
i'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me
you gotta listen to my words
yea-h!
Heirs of a cold war
that's what we've become
inheriting troubles, i'm mentally numb
crazy, i just cannot bear
i'm living with something that just ain't fair
mental wounds not healing
who and what's to blame

Letra
Lately I begin to wonder,
How's it all gonna end.
After all the flash and thunder,
then it’s gone with the wind.
All the stars in the heavens,
They been there to light my way.
Without knowin’ where I’m going,
Probably get there anyway.
Mystic highway that I’m on
Ooh ooh, take me home
Mystic highway that I ramble
Ooh ooh take me home.
This old road has been my lifeline,
My companion and my friend.
Like a rope around the universe,
Ain’t no beginning ain’t no end.
Out across the constellations,
There’s a place behind the sun.
Everything is connected,
Everything and everyone.
Mystic highway that I’m on
Ooh ooh, take me home
Mystic highway that I ramble
Ooh ooh take me home.
Down by the river on Saturday night,
Everybody waiting for a good time.
Smooth city slickers and loaded dice,
Take your money in a pig's eye.
Rain gonna fall, sun gonna shine,
ain't no worry in my mind.
Big wheel rollin' cross the sky,
ain't no worry in my mind.
All the stars that I'm under,
know the way I feel tonight.
All the miles I've been travellin'
headin' back to the light.
Mystic highway that I’m on
Ooh ooh, take me home
Mystic highway that I ramble
Ooh ooh take me home
Ooh ooh take me home.

Letra
It started off so well
they said we made a perfect pair
i clothed myself in your glory and your love
how i loved you,
how i cried .....
the years of care and loyalty
were nothing but a sham it seems
the years belie we lived the lie
"i love you 'til i die"
Save me save me save me
i can't face this life alone
save me save me oh...
i'm naked and i'm far from home
The slate will soon be clean
i'll erase the memories
to start again with somebody new
was it all wasted
all that love?.....
i hang my head and i advertise
a soul for sale or rent
i have no heart, i'm cold inside
i have no real intent
Save me save me save me
i can't face this life alone
save me save me oh...
i'm naked and i'm far from home
Each night i cry, i still believe the lie

Letra
With a little luck, we can help it out.
We can make this whole damn thing work out.
With a little love, we can lay it down.
Can't you feel the town exploding?
There is no end to what we can do together.
There is no end, there is no end.
The willow turns his back on inclement weather;
And if he can do it, we can do it, just me and you,
And a little luck, we can clear it up.
We can bring it in for a landing,
With a little luck, we can turn it on.
There can be no misunderstanding.
There is no end to what we can do together.
There is no end, there is no end.
The willow turns his back on inclement weather;
We can do it, just me and you.
With a little push, we could set it off.
We can send it rocketing skywards.
With a little love, we could shake it up.
Don't you feel the comet exploding?
With a little luck.
With a little luck.
With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck.
With a little luck.
With a little luck.
With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck.
