Lyrics

(A. Young / M. Young / B. Johnson)

We're getting ready, here we go

We're gettin' ready to rock
Gettin' ready to roll
Gonna turn up the heat
Gonna fire up the coal
I gotta keep that motor turnin'
I gotta keep that engine clean
I gotta keep those tyres burnin'
I got the best you've ever seen
And I'm a heatseeker
Chargin' out the sky
And I'm a heatseeker
...

_Heatseeker_ was AC/DC's most expensive video up til then. It was filmed at Cannon studios in Elstree the 3rd and 4th of December in 1987, and featured the band lip-synching in front of an audience, intercut with clips of a missile in flight over various locations, such as the pyramids in Egypt, a north american desert and over icy waters. The missile, which in the video's beginning is set off by Angus (as he in a _cartoonish_ twist throws off his cap which then lands on a lever to set off the missile) ends up by crashing into the Opera House in Sydney, only to be revealed through a fake TV-screen (probably a pun on the _Blow up your Video_ album
title ;-) ).
With all it's special effects (which I believe must have been quite groundbreaking for it's time), I think it's natural that this became a very expensive but also a great video.
