16. "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" by AC/DC
Having trouble with the high school head?
Hell, yes! Constantly!
But my dirty deeds targeting the high school head weren't as dirty as they needed to be--the closest I came to violently ending his life was in 7th grade when during a talent show competition I accidentally (but kind of on purpose) threw a whipped cream pie at him and hit him in the leg.
Angus Young got the title for this song from a cartoon show called "Beany and Cecil." Here's a sample of the cartoon. The evil villain was "Dishonest John," who had a calling card that had printed on it the phrase "Dirty deeds done dirt cheap." (I can't find an episode with the card.)
I personally think the cartoon is more violent than the song lyrics, but you be the judge.
My favorite part of the song is when they list six different ways to do the dirty deed--concrete shoes, cyanide, TNT, contracts, neckties, and...high voltage! I've many a time imagined my enemies, including a high school head, meeting their end through each of these options.
My favorite part of the video is when Angus yells "Aaaaaah!" into the microphone at the end of the song. Who says he can't sing?!
