Heh. I remember seeing a clip of her singing an **AC/DC** song in her Las Vegas show. “You Shook Me All Night Long” I think it was.

One lobe of my brain was paralyzed with laughter. The other lobe attempted to punch its way free of my skull, jump into the TV set and strangle her.

Celine sings Elvis. Celine sings AC/DC. Next up, Celine sings Gwar!

Oh Lordy, I just had to go find that clip. Watch at your own risk. Fail sanity check and lose 1d100 SAN points…

Yeegh. And of course there was a related link to another cover, this time by [Shania Twain](http://youtube.com/watch?v=zHtuGMHWAf0).

Well she is married to “Mutt” Lange who produced “Back In Black”. Not that that’s some kind of excuse.

On top of everything else it’s been sanitized:

Originally sung by **AC/DC** :  
“She told me to come but I was already there”

Bowdlerized by **Shania Twain**  
“I wanted to run but I was already there”

Hello! It’s a dirty song! “You shook me all night long”. Get it? Nudge nudge wink wink. I wouldn’t mind her countrifying the sound so much if she’d at least sung it honestly, this is a song about SEX fer chrissakes, and not just any sex but sweaty, lusty, low-down dirty _screwing_ so tousle your hair into that JFL, put a nasty smile on and sing it like you mean it.

I enjoyed Celine Dion’s performance. I was glad they cut out some of Elvis’ wild arm swinging.
