“Touch Too Much” by AC/DC

"Touch Too Much" rides on Highway to Hell, the 1979 album that turned out to be AC/DC's last with Bon Scott, who died the following year. Scott wrote it with Angus and Malcolm Young, who play the guitars over Cliff Williams's bass and Phil Rudd's drums, and Robert John "Mutt" Lange produced. The band had cut a completely different song under the same name earlier; that one stayed in the can until the Volts disc of the Bonfire box in 1997.

In many countries the single's sleeve printed the band photo flipped, so the Youngs and Williams look left-handed. On February 7, 1980, AC/DC played it on Top of the Pops, 12 days before Scott died, and BBC Four reran that show on the 35th anniversary of his death. Axl Rose later named it his favorite AC/DC song.
