Which AC/DC song includes the lyrics 'For those about to rock, we salute you'?

The AC/DC song containing the lyric “For those about to rock, we salute you” is “For Those About to Rock (We Salute You).”

The song first appeared on AC/DC’s eighth studio album, For Those About to Rock We Salute You, released in 1981. It was written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young, and Brian Johnson, with production by Robert John “Mutt” Lange. The track became the album’s title song and was later issued as a single in 1982.

The title draws on the famous Latin phrase “Ave, Caesar, morituri te salutant,” traditionally associated with gladiators saluting before combat. AC/DC transformed that imagery into a celebration of rock audiences and performers. The song’s cannon blasts became one of the band’s defining live-show effects, and AC/DC have often used it as a concert-closing anthem.

A common mix-up is confusing the song with “Let There Be Rock,” another AC/DC concert staple. “Let There Be Rock” appeared as a live B-side to the 1982 single, but it does not contain the quoted lyric.
