About This Track
'Big Balls' is one of AC/DC's most infamous compositions, a track from 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap' composed by Angus Young, Malcolm Young, and Bon Scott. The song finds Scott, a deceptively clever lyricist, using double entendres by framing ballroom and costume parties as obvious reference to his own testicles. The band had mined this territory before on 'The Jack' and would return to it again, but 'Big Balls' remains the most sustained exercise in the mode. The lyrics adopt the voice of an upper-class socialite whose ballroom is always full, whose balls are always bouncing, and whose events are never small. Scott delivers the performance with deadpan aristocratic poise, the innuendo so relentless it becomes a kind of music-hall farce. The outro abandons pretence entirely, chanting British slang for testicles over the fade.
"Big Balls" is a track by AC/DC, from the album Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, released 20th September 1976. Full lyrics are available below.
