Wikipedia:
Back in Black is the seventh studio album by AC/DC and their first to feature Brian Johnson as lead singer following the death of Bon Scott. The album was composed by Johnson and brothers Angus and Malcolm Young, and recorded in the Bahamas with producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange, who had also produced Highway to Hell. The album’s all-black cover was designed as a “sign of mourning” for Scott.
You Shook Me All Night Long was the first single released from the Back in Black album. The song also reappeared on their later soundtrack album Who Made Who. The song has become a staple of AC/DC concerts and is rarely excluded from the setlist.

Lyrics:
She was a fast machine, she kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman that I ever seen
She had the sightless eyes, telling me no lies
Knocking me out with those American thighs
