Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fill my cup
Pour me another round
Come on man, 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 down the walls, yeah
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
Shooting down the wall, yeah
Let's play ball
Battin' down the stalls, yeah
Play, play, play ball
Hit that thing yeah
Hey yeah
Let's play ball
Shooting at a 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 lyrics to AC/DC’s song “Play Ball” are an anthem to living in the moment and having a good time. The song starts with the singer asking for another drink, urging the other people in the bar to join in the fun and “mix in the sin.” The second verse introduces the character of Sid, who is also urged to join in and shout it out loud. Throughout the song, there is a sense of urgency to enjoy life to the fullest, to “shoot down the walls” and “bat down the stalls.” The chorus repeats the phrase “let’s play ball,” which can be interpreted as a metaphor for seizing the day and participating fully in life.

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.
