"Stiff Upper Lip" gave AC/DC the lead single and title track of their 14th studio album in 2000, and it's the band by the book: Angus and Malcolm Young wrote it and both play guitar, Cliff Williams and Phil Rudd lock in underneath, and Brian Johnson hollers over the top. George Young produced, with Mike Fraser engineering and mixing.
It handed them their third number one on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and cracked the top five on radio in Poland and Spain. Andy Morahan's video strands the band in traffic in a red Hummer, listening to "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)" from the Bon Scott days, until they ditch the car in a back alley and start playing on the street. A pre-fame Lady Gaga makes a cameo.
