Shot in the Dark Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I need a pick-me-up, a rollin' thunder truck
I need a shot of you
That tattooed lady wild like a mountain ride
I got a hunger, that’s the lovin' truth
[Pre-Chorus]
You got a long night comin'
And a long night pumpin’
You got the right position
The heat of transmission
[Chorus]
A shot in the dark
Make you feel alright
A shot in the dark
All through the whole night
A shot in the dark
Yeah, electric sparks
A shot in the dark beats a walk in the park, yeah
[Verse 2]
Blasting on the radio, breaking on the TV show
Send it out on all the wires
And if I didn't know any better, your mission is to party
'Til the broad daylight
I need a pick-me-up, a rollin' thunder truck
I need a shot of you
That tattooed lady wild like a mountain ride
I got a hunger, that’s the lovin' truth
[Pre-Chorus]
You got a long night comin'
And a long night pumpin’
You got the right position
The heat of transmission
[Chorus]
A shot in the dark
Make you feel alright
A shot in the dark
All through the whole night
A shot in the dark
Yeah, electric sparks
A shot in the dark beats a walk in the park, yeah
[Verse 2]
Blasting on the radio, breaking on the TV show
Send it out on all the wires
And if I didn't know any better, your mission is to party
'Til the broad daylight
[Pre-Chorus]
You got a long night comin'
And a long night goin'
You got the right position
The heat of transmission
[Chorus]
A shot in the dark
Make you feel alright
A shot in the dark
All through the whole night
A shot in the dark
Yeah, еlectric spark
A shot in the dark beats a walk in thе park, yeah
[Bridge]
My mission is to hit ignition
[Chorus]
A shot in the dark
Make you feel alright
A shot in the dark
All through the whole night
A shot in the dark,
Yeah, electric sparks
A shot in the dark beats a walk in the park, yeah
A shot in the dark
Ooh, a shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
Make you feel alright
A shot in the dark beats a walk in the park, yeah
You got a long night comin'
And a long night goin'
You got the right position
The heat of transmission
[Chorus]
A shot in the dark
Make you feel alright
A shot in the dark
All through the whole night
A shot in the dark
Yeah, еlectric spark
A shot in the dark beats a walk in thе park, yeah
[Bridge]
My mission is to hit ignition
[Chorus]
A shot in the dark
Make you feel alright
A shot in the dark
All through the whole night
A shot in the dark,
Yeah, electric sparks
A shot in the dark beats a walk in the park, yeah
A shot in the dark
Ooh, a shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
Make you feel alright
A shot in the dark beats a walk in the park, yeah

What did AC/DC say about "Shot in the Dark"?
Genius Answer
In an interview with Rolling Stone Angus Young stated:
“It’s got that great AC/DC vibe about it, great swagger, and a good AC/DC rock & roll chant, the title is a little bit cheeky because we all like a little nip [of alcohol] in the night or a few shots in the dark. I was very glad when the record company heard it [that] they felt it was a very strong song and should be the first one that people hear.”
Is there a behind the scenes video?
