About Love at First Feel

"Love at First Feel" is a song by Australian hard rock band AC/DC. It is the second track of the international version of their album Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, released in November 1976 (see 1976 in music), and was written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young, and Bon Scott. The international version was not released in the United States until April 1981 (see 1981 in music). "Love at First Feel" was not included on Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap's original Australian edition, released in September 1976, making it one of only two tracks from international AC/DC albums not available on the band's Australian albums. (The other is "Cold Hearted Man", released on European pressings of Powerage) Conversely, several songs that are available on Australian AC/DC albums did not see overseas release until more than thirty years later. However, "Love at First Feel" was released in Australia as a single in January 1977, with "Problem Child" as its B-side, which peaked in the Kent Music Report Singles Chart Top 100. Singer/songwriter Mark Kozelek does a cover of this track on his album of AC/DC covers entitled What's Next to the Moon.

I didn't know where you came from
And I didn't know your name
And if you were legal tender
Well, I'd spent you just the same
I didn't know it could happen to me
Love in the third degree

It was love at first feel
It was love at first feel
It was love at first feel, it was love at first feel
It was love at first feel

They told me it was disgusting
They told me it was a sin
Every night at your front door
I'd smile when you let me in
Now it's you and me baby 
In your house all alone
Better make things happen
Before your mum and dad get home

It was love at first feel
It was love at first feel
It was love at first feel, it was love at first feel
It was love at first feel
