"Big Balls" sits on AC/DC's Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, which came out on September 20, 1976, and with a title like that, subtlety was never on the menu. Bon Scott sings lead and wrote it with Angus Young and Malcolm Young, who handle the electric guitars, while Mark Evans on bass and Phil Rudd on drums keep the rhythm section rock-steady. Vanda & Young produced it.
