DirtyDeeds Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Yeah, it's definitely "She's a hooray for tolerance! on a one-way ride." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luciusfunk Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 FacepalmYou think that's bad? There are loads of forums I found through google with the same topic.A local DJ has devoted hours to this topic on his show over the years. He's adamant that it's "she's a n*gger".

DirtyDeeds Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Ok, it's a silly question anyway, but even if it does sound like that to you, there is zero precedent for Bon ever using language like that in his music. Despite the fact that AC/DC music is almost exclusively about sex, drinking, and rock 'n' roll itself, the actual words used are quite clean.

luciusfunk Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 I didn't say he said "she's a n*gger", I said it sounds like it and was asking if anyone else hears it. I read somewhere the word "n*gger" wasn't common in Australia at the time the song was recorded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't sound like the other one, though, either. But I am quite certain it is indeed season ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luciusfunk Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 To be fair, when I just listened to it again it sounds more like "ticker" or "dicker" than "n*gger". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDeeds Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Let's see what it sounds like with Bon live.I don't know why he's clenching his teeth so much while singing here. This one sounds very much like season ticket.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XL51vdP8So This one sounds like ticket, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luciusfunk Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Hmm...I'll admit I haven't heard a live recording with Bon Scott. I'll have to check that out when I can catch the wifi signal here at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron MikeyJ Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Befroe this thread was made I always thought it was season ticket. I do understand the confusion, but it doesn't make sense. Ask yourself what lyric makes more sense? "season ticket on a one way ride." or "shes a ni$$er on a one way ride". The first one is the real one imo.

Guest Len B'stard Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 It's gotta be season ticket, it makes the more sense when attached to on a one way ride. Couple that with the fact that the songs called HIGHWAY to Hell, makes sense, the travel motif, what the fuck would N***** mean in the middle of this song? Always thought it was season ticket. And Dalshes lyric sheet thing kinda ends the debate.On a slight tangent, what is it with these rock stars and the fuckin' skidmarks on their lyric sheets?

izzygirl Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 It says "season ticket" and I don't see how someone can hear any other thing. That said, it was a pleasure to check if it actually said that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
