Whole Lotta Rosie
AC/DC cover Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wanna tell you story
About woman I know
When it comes to lovin'
She steals the show
She ain't exactly pretty
Ain't exactly small
Fourt'two thirt'ninefiftysix
You could say she's got it all

Never had a woman
Never had a woman like you
Doin' all the things
Doin' all the things you do
Ain't no fairy story
Ain't no skin and bones
But you give it all you got
Weighin' in at nineteen stone
You're a whole lotta woman
A whole lotta woman
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
And you're a whole lotta woman

Honey you can do it
Do it to me all night long
Only one who turn me
Only one who turn me on
All through the night time
Right around the clock
To my surprise
Rosie never stops
She was a whole lotta woman
Whole lotta woman
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
A whole lotta woman

Whole lotta woman
Whole lotta woman
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta woman-man-man yeah
Whole lotta Rosie




Whole lotta woman
Whole lotta woman

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in AC/DC's cover of Whole Lotta Rosie describe a woman who is not conventionally attractive, but is incredibly desirable due to her sexual prowess. The singer describes Rosie as "weighin' in at nineteen stone," or roughly 266 pounds, emphasizing her physical size but also suggesting her strength and endurance in bed. The lyrics are straightforward, with no hidden meanings or metaphors - Rosie is simply a sexually powerful woman who the singer desires.


However, some have interpreted the song as being about more than just a specific woman. Instead, it can be seen as a celebration of all plus-sized women and their desirability. AC/DC's lead singer, Bon Scott, was a known admirer of larger women, and it's possible that the song is his tribute to them.


Regardless of its meaning, Whole Lotta Rosie has become one of AC/DC's most popular songs and a beloved classic rock anthem. Its catchy guitar riffs and memorable chorus have made it a staple of the band's live shows and a favorite of fans around the world.

in the early August i saw the Devil in vision "showing of" in front of me and he was like "singing" (=screaming as a madman) KILL THEM, MURDER THEM MURDER THEM! KILL THEM! the only thing i know that i thougt was "ok, now i KNOW that hardrock is created in hell".

and other times, the whole place seemed to have transformed to instruments for death metal hard core. BOOM! BOOM! BANG! BOOM!

i heard this several days and it was exactly as if he was standing "in the other side" i mean ever noise around me would just sound as if he stood there behind a door knocking, knocking, knocking.

and then in the late August. Eminem released a song called Venom where he sings like

KNOCK KNOCK! LET THE DEVIL IN!
