Which AC/DC song includes the line 'It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll'?

The AC/DC song that includes the line “It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock ’n’ roll” is “It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock ’n’ Roll).” The title repeats the song’s best-known lyric almost word for word.

AC/DC recorded the track in 1975, and it first appeared as the opening song on the Australian album T.N.T. It was written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young, and Bon Scott, with production by Harry Vanda and George Young. The song describes the hardships of life on the road, including difficult travel, exploitation, and the struggle to become successful.

Its distinctive sound comes from the combination of hard-rock guitar and bagpipes. Bon Scott had been associated with a pipe band and helped bring the unusual instrument into the recording, although he was not an experienced bagpipe player.

The song was later included on the internationally released version of High Voltage. It became one of AC/DC’s signature songs, but the band largely retired it from live performance after Scott’s death in 1980.
