"Back in Black" is a song by AC/DC, appearing as the first track on side two of their 1980 album of the same name. Known for its opening guitar riff, the song was AC/DC's tribute to their former singer Bon Scott. His replacement Brian Johnson recalled to ''Mojo'' magazine in 2009 that when the band asked him to write a lyric for this song, "they said, 'it can't be morbid – it has to be for Bon and it has to be a celebration. He added: "I thought, 'Well no pressure there, then' (laughs). I just wrote what came into my head, which at the time seemed like mumbo, jumbo. 'Nine lives. Cats eyes. Abusing every one of them and running wild.' The boys got it though. They saw Bon's life in that lyric."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=80 )〕 It peaked in the U.S. at No. 37 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart in 1981 and was No. 51 on Billboard's Top Tracks chart, which debuted in March 1981.
