Understatement Is Good

Inspired by a tweet from the blogger formerly known as Kinky Paprika about AC/DC front man Brian Johnson being told to stop touring or face total hearing loss (and wouldn't the true metal response be to pursue the latter?), I happened on this lovely summary from the AC/DC wiki:

"Givin' the Dog a Bone is a song by AC/DC appearing as the fourth track on their 1980 successful album, Back in Black. On original versions of the LP, the song was incorrectly spelled on the album sleeve as "Given the Dog a Bone", but was correctly spelled on the vinyl. The song is about oral sex."

Of course, the lyrics prove that the boys from Down Under truly were the masters of the single entendre:
She takes you down easy
Going down to her knees
Going down to the devil
Down down to ninety degrees
Oh, she's blowing me crazy
'Til my ammunition is dry
