Traffic Moment - “Big Balls”

posted by on September 28 at 11:59 AM

Today’s traffic moment is brought to you by Bon Scott and the AC/DC song “Big Balls.” It’s the sixth track on their 1976 album Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, and I was singing it at a stoplight 30 minutes ago. The sun was out, windows were down, and the stereo was up.

A mini van full of 12 year-old girls on some sort of field trip pulled up next to me as I was beginning the chorus:

I’ve got big balls, I’ve got big balls, and they’re such big balls, fancy big balls, and he’s got big balls, and she’s got big balls, But we’ve got the biggest balls of them all!

I finished, looked to my left, and saw the mom driver rolling up the windows with a scowl ripped across her face. Then I saw the girls. They were laughing.

I looked back at the mom and said, “But it’s Bon.”

I don’t think she heard me.

See, it all makes sense. I'm telling you, I was at Bauhaus talking about how I loved the Amaker phrase 'Bro-ing down' and I look up, and there there's Amaker.

That is why you had Bon on the brain.

I love this song! "It's my belief that my big balls should be held every night." Ha!

I had that tape when I was 9. I had Big Balls cued up and I played it in the family car. On the way home from church. And that's the story of how I got my AC/DC tape taken away from me by my dad, who also looked at the tracklist after ejecting the tape and said "'Love At First Feel.' Do you know what that means?"

Pure goddamn joy, that song. A reminder of why AC/DC were masters of the "single entendre".

Saying "balls" to minors at a traffic light is probably technically some kind of felony.

It's ok, since the incident, I have been cleansed by a team of clergy. They made me sing Carrie Underwood's "Jesus Take the Wheel" seven times in a row.

@7, fun fact: that drag queen's dad was my high school math teacher!

Ok, this shit is getting out of hand. You gotta be kidding me the drag queen's dad was your high school math teacher.

WHAT THE HELL.

Ok, so what was that about Mercury being in retrograde, Ari?

Nothing beats "Little Lover" for pure sexual inuendo with two references to vaginal secretions in two different verses.
