It's said that if you're listening to this song in 2020, then you have good taste in music.
Highway to Hell
If there's a song that I want to play on a Halloween night then this should be it. It will definitely make us jump on our feet and shout...
"I'm on the highway to hell"...
The funny thing about it is that although I listened to it many many times in the past, it never occurred to me how creepy the back story is. "Highway to Hell" is an actual road. It's the nickname of Canning Highway in Australia.
Here's an excerpt from songfacts.com
Many people where killed by driving fast over that intersection at the top of the hill on the way for a good night out, that it was called the highway to hell, so when Bon was saying "I'm on the highway to hell" it meant that he was doing the nightly or weekly pilgrimage down Canning Highway to The Raffles bar to rock and drink with his mates: "Ain't nothing I would rather do. Going down, party time, my friends are gonna be there too."
