Synopsis

AC/DC perform "Cover You in Oil" inside a grimy, oil-slicked auto shop transformed into a chaotic stage. Brian Johnson sings while Angus Young and the band deliver the song amid roaring fans, car parts, machinery, and grease-covered workers. The video leans into the track's deliberately suggestive title and lyrics, using the garage setting as a playground for mechanical imagery, sweaty industrial textures, and Angus' trademark high-energy antics.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The song appears on AC/DC's 1995 album *Ballbreaker*, alongside "Hard as a Rock" and "Hail Caesar," both of which also received promotional videos.
  • AC/DC's official site notes that the promo clip was filmed in London in 1995. It was recorded during the same general period as the "Hail Caesar" video.
  • The video was later included in AC/DC's *Family Jewels* video compilation as one of the *Ballbreaker* promotional clips.
  • Its central visual joke is straightforwardly literal: the song's sexual innuendo is recast through an auto-repair environment, with oil, engines, fans, and garage work providing the video's recurring imagery.
  • An official version of the video was made available through AC/DC's YouTube channel in 2013, helping preserve the clip for the band's later online audience.

Lyrics

I like to slip into something good
I see a young girl in the neighbourhood
The way she move, I must confess
I like to run my hands up and down her legs
The way she dress, she look so fine
I'll make her wet, I'll make her mine
She like it hard, she like it slow
All right honey, come on let's go

Baby feel what you want, it's the way she move
Baby feel what you need, come on let's go

[Chorus:]
Cover you in oil
