AC/DC's Regrettable Song: The Story Behind 'Love Song

Angus Young, the sole original member of AC/DC, revealed the band's most "regrettable" song in a 2020 interview. The song in question is "Love Song," which appeared on the Australian version of their debut album High Voltage in 1975. Originally titled "Love Song (Oh Jene)," it was a departure from their usual style, with heartfelt lyrics penned by Bon Scott. Despite its romantic theme, the band quickly realized it didn't fit their image and was overshadowed by the B-side cover of "Baby, Please Don't Go," which became a hit. While "Love Song" may not be terrible, it stands out as an anomaly in the AC/DC catalog, sounding more like a 1960s west coast ballad than their signature rock sound.
