Play Ball
AC DC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pick me up
Fill my cup
Pour me another round
Come on in, mix in the sin
Come in and join the crowd
I said it’s party time
When I’m on the loose
Listen, drinks all around
I’m in the mood
Because the night is mine
Let’s play ball
Shoot it down the wall
Let’s play ball, baby
Battin’ down the stalls
Play, play, play ball
Listen Sid, light me up
I’m in love
I’m all regional now
Dive on in and swim in the gin
Come on, shout it out loud
Let’s play ball
Shoot it down the wall, yeah
Let’s play ball
Battin’ down the stalls, yeah
Play, play, play ball
Let’s play ball
Shootin' down the wall
Let’s play ball
And never stall
Let’s play ball
Let’s play ball
Let’s play ball
Play, play, play ball
The AC DC song Play Ball is all about having a good time and letting loose. The opening lines "Pick me up, fill my cup, pour me another round" are about partying and enjoying oneself. The song encourages listeners to join in the fun and "mix in the sin". The lyrics suggest that it is time to let go of any inhibitions and enjoy the night to the fullest.
The chorus "Let's play ball" is a metaphor for stepping up to the plate and taking risks. It is a call to action to seize the moment and not be afraid to go for what you want in life. The line "battin’ down the stalls" is a play on words, referring to both baseball and breaking down barriers.
The song also pays tribute to the classic rock and roll lifestyle with lines like "listen Sid, light me up" and "dive on in and swim in the gin". It is an anthem for living life with no regrets and enjoying the freedom that comes with living in the moment.

Sorry bro
I know AC-DC made 12 albums that sound exactly the same. But this is just the problem, the trouble.
AC-DC needs to Evolve to another style of rock.
60s rock?
70s?
new wave?
Foo Fighters?
The Strokes?
AC-DC has more options to change, but they don't do that because I suppose they are stubborn.
@VickersTacticalLAV
The greatest Rock Band the World Has Ever Known - AC/DC
Not even debatable
@Ryan-zd3jq
Vickers Tactical got that right
@bobbyknight1970
AC/DC has more of my favorite songs than any other band that I know and like, so, yes, they are the best. A kick ass band.
@erdaylike24se7en
Red Floyd you heard the man, they are the fucking GOAT. No band before and no one after will even come close to doing it as good as they did/do.
@PeachDragon_
Vickers Tactical all hail acdc
@RyanLBrown9396
I’ll never ever talk trash about Ac/Dc. Angus is one of my biggest heroes and idols, but what you’re not gonna do is throw around the title of “Greatest rock band ever” and not mention Zeppelin
@JamesvanHest
The thing I love about AC/DC is that they make me feel like I've been friends with them for years, even though I haven't met them. I feel like I'm having a conversation with them when I watch stuff like interviews even though I've never been able to say anything to them. They always puts a smile on my face and make me happy, ever since I first got into AC/DC before I could walk. thank you AC/DC. You've inspired me as a 17 year old to pick up my guitar, microphone, drums and bass and give it my best shot to make more rock n roll in the world.
