Shake Your Foundations is a song by the Australian Hard Rock band AC/DC. The song was released on Fly on the Wall in 1985 as the second track. It was re-released on Who Made Who the next year. This song is written by Angus and Malcolm Young, and Brian Johnson.
This song is about a man at a bar, who drinks, hangs out with ladies, and has unique dance moves.
This song is best known for its hearty "Pirate chorus", which is "Aye, Aye, Oh, Shake Your Foundations. Aye, Aye, Oh, Shake it to the floor." [1]
There are two versions to this song. One of them was produced the Young Brothers, and found on Fly on the Wall, the other was produced Harry Vanda and George Young,[2] which is found on their soundtrack to Maximum Overdrive, Who Made Who.
