Stuck in My Head - Givin' the Dog a Bone

I have a very amusing memory about this song. It's tied to this strange thing I've noticed. Girls, who often are no fans of hard rock or metal, often dig AC/DC.

Many years ago, an uber-feminist friend was telling me how much fun she thought AC/DC was. Specifically this song. Mind you, I'm not saying was a huge fan, or anything, but she found them fun to listen to.

Then I asked if she'd ever read the lyrics....

I couldn't help but chuckle at the reaction.

I know. I'm terrible.

Now, I don't read much into this, at all, AC/DC, for all their limitations, write catchy tunes that, yes, you can often dance to. They also just sort of present themselves as such a caricature of the juvenile male mindset (Angus Young performs in a schoolboy uniform, for God's sake) that if you take them seriously, that's really more your problem than theirs.


Givin' the Dog a Bone
AC/DC

She take you down easy
Going down to her knees
Going down to the devil
Down down at ninety degrees
She blowing me crazy
'til my ammunition is dry
She's using her head again
She's using her head
She's using her head again
I'm justa giving the dog a bone
Giving the dog a bone, giving the dog a bone
Giving the dog a bone, giving the dog a bone

She's no Mona Lisa
No she's no playboy star
But she'll send you to heaven
Then explode you to Mars
She's using her head again
She's using her head
She's using her head again
I'm justa giving the dog a bone
Giving the dog a bone, giving the dog a bone
Giving the dog a bone, giving the dog a bone

She's got the power of union
She only hits when it's hot
And if she likes what you're doing
She'll give you the lot give it everything I got
Just giving the dog a bone

Giving the dog a bone, giving the dog a bone
Giving the dog a bone, giving the dog a bone
Giving the dog a bone, giving the dog a bone
Giving the dog a bone, giving the dog a bone

I'm justa giving the dog a bone
Giving the dog a bone, giving the dog a bone
I'm justa giving the dog a bone
