All Night Long
Anastacia & Celine Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He kept his motor clean
He was the best damn man I had ever seen
He had the sightless eyes
Telling me no lies
Knockin' me out with those American thighs
Taking more than he share
He told me to come but I was already there
'Cause the walls were shakin'
The earth was quakin'
My mind was achin'
And we were makin' it and you
Shook me all night long
C'mon girlfriend
Oh yeah
Shook me
Said you shook me all night long
Oooh shook me
Workin' double time
On the seduction line
He was one of a kind, he's just mine all mine
Wanted no applause
Just another course
He made a meal out of me and came back for more
Had to cool me down
To take another round
Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing
Now the walls were shakin'
The earth was quakin'
My mind was achin'
And we were makin' it and you
Shook me all night long
C'mon girlfriend, shook me
Ooooooooh you
Shook me all night long
Everybody sing with me
You shook me all night long
Oooh
Shook me, shook me baby
You shook me all night long
Shook me
C'mon
I said, you shook ma all night long
Oooooooh oooooh you
Shook me all night long
You, you, you
Shook me all night long
You
Shook me baby you
Shook me all night long
Yeah, you shook me, you shook me
Oooooh, you shook me, you shook me, you shook me, you shook me
The lyrics of All Night Long are about a woman’s sexual encounter with a man who has an incredible sexual prowess. The opening line “He was a fast machine, he kept his motor clean” introduces the man as a fast-moving person who keeps his motorcycle in excellent condition. The woman notices that he is the best man she has ever seen, he has a captivating smile, and his eyes are sightless. The man's sightless eyes are not able to deceive her, and he keeps knocking her out with his good looks and especially his American thighs.
The second verse emphasizes the man's immense sexual qualities; he takes more than he gives, which makes the woman fight for air. The lyrics reveal that the woman is already where she was supposed to be before the man told her to come because of his incredible sexual prowess. The walls shake, the earth quakes, and the woman's mind aches as a result of their lovemaking.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the effect of their lovemaking, which was so intense that it left an indelible mark on the woman. The lyrics, "you shook me all night long" show that their connection was so intense that it had a long-lasting effect on the woman. The song fades away with the woman celebrating the man's prowess and how he had another round of lovemaking with her, and she came back for more.

Absolutely love this version. Both phenomenal vocalists!
@benjaminA.stantonpun
They did not even try to sound like the original. That is why I freaking love this‼️ If I want the original, I will simply put on AC⚡️DC itself. This cover is severely underrated. 🤘😎👍
@devilskware
Ha sure! I think the kids say "cringe" these days. It's one of the most cringe things I've ever seen
@CuponkAddict
Idk why people think this is bad. Her voice is powerful and it's true to the original.
@mrHoppedupford
This shit is disgusting looking.
@benjaminA.stantonpun
I am with you there. I would pick this over the original any day. 😃👍
@matthewkim8158
So sad Anastacia's career never took off stateside. She was so massive in Europe and parts of Africa. Such an underrated talent here in the states
@bsbncandey
I love this cover! Celine is so funny, love her!
@wahltowahl1
I have no complaints with this song. They performed it their way. Nothing wrong with that. It’s called being artistic and no they did try to si g it better then original singer but their interpretation. Rock on ladies. Well done
@mrHoppedupford
