Feel in the rock and roll mood
Gonna make you feel good
Might be a little dangerous
I believe, I believe you will see, it could be
Contagious
Doctor, what’s the antidote?
Lady, try the money shot
Doctor, what’s the antidote?
Lady, just try the money shot
Best taken when hot
I got a good prescription
For the state of your condition
You gotta take it three times a day
Or as much, or as much as you may
That’s my diagnosis
Doctor, what’s the antidote?
Lady, try the money shot
Doctor, what’s the antidote?
Lady, try the money shot
Try the money shot
Hey
Now take this down
Gonna send you on your way
‘Cause I believe I solved your case
I’ll give you your relief
Doctor, what’s the antidote?
Lady, try the money shot
Doctor, what’s the antidote?
Lady, try the money shot
We got a good cure for what ails ya
It won’t fail ya
Try the money shot
Doctor, show me the antidote
I’d try the money shot
I’d try the money shot
Breaking Down AC/DC’s “Money Shot”
“Money Shot” by AC/DC captures the band’s signature blend of electrifying energy, cheeky wordplay, and rock ‘n’ roll bravado. The lyrics play with the idea of a “prescription” for feeling good, using medical metaphors to deliver the band’s raucous, tongue-in-cheek message. Lines like “Doctor, what’s the antidote? Lady, try the money shot” suggest that the ultimate cure for life’s ailments is to embrace the wild, uninhibited spirit of rock music. The repeated references to remedies and diagnoses are classic AC/DC, combining humor and innuendo with their trademark attitude. Ultimately, the song is about letting go, having fun, and finding relief in the power of music.
