Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Description
DIRTY DEEDS DONE DIRT CHEAP returns remastered with a 16
page full color booklet containing many unpublished photos and memorabilia.
While Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap sounds like every other AC/DC
album, it is distinguished by a lyrical puerility spectacular even by Bon
Scott’s standards. Two tracks–“Love at First Feel” and “Squealer”–are
ruminations on the morality of sex with schoolgirls. “Big Balls,” ostensibly a
narrative from the perspective of an aristocrat socialite, is actually a
somewhat labored excuse for the band to chant “We’ve got big balls.” This
juvenile posturing was, to a large degree, AC/DC winding up their burgeoning
foreign audience by playing to stereotypical expectations of Australians. On
Dirty Deeds, however, AC/DC try too hard. Only on “Ain’t No Fun (Waiting Round
to Be a Millionaire)” is Scott’s laconic wit deployed to real effect: the
sheer glee in the line “Get your fuckin’ jumbo jet off my airport!” is almost
worth the album’s purchase price. –Andrew Mueller
