Dirty Deeds. And Backdoor Man Question. ACDC.
During a long walk this morning I listened to the ACDC albums Back In Black and Dirty Deeds.
Well the one lyric in Dirty Deeds always bothered me. Here it is:
You got a lady and you want her gone
But you ain't got the guts
She keeps naggin' at you night 'n' day
Enough to drive you nuts
Pick up the phone, leave her alone
It's time you made a stand
For a fee, I'm happy to be
Your back door man
So is he saying that he's going to come and have anal sex with her or is a backdoor man also a hitman? I looked online for three minutes and found no reference to a backdoor man being a hitman. And why doesn't he just dump her? I don't get it.
Here's a live version of the song:

You're anal-izing it too closely there Zibbs.
:-)
No mention of the Doors or various blues back door men?
Also, it means he's the guy who slips in and out the back door. The cheatin' kind. Not welcome in the front door.
Did that explain it?
:)
He's offering to "hit" her. It's an old urban slang word for hitman. Strikes me a little weird that it can't be found anywhere. Weirder yet that the term is in an ACDC song. I think it's from the 40's or early 50's.
Cowguy - Haha!
Sybil Law - Yeah and I saw that definition but it doesn't explain why he would be offering those services. To shut her up?
I don't get it.
Diane - Thanks! As I noted, I only looked online for like 3 minutes. Thanks for being my personal Google.
The Doors also have a 'Backdoor Man' song ; I always thought is was about being a lover, sneaking in at the backdoor, so no one will notice him coming in ... but the anal thing could also be right as we say here ; a good friend always enters through the backdoor ..:^)
Domi's right about the Doors connotation of the word, but I'm sure that ACDC was talking about "taking her out".
Dominica - You are correct. Click on the link that gives the Urban Dictionary definition.
Notice he says "I'm happy to be your backdoor man!" He doesn't say "her" but 'your". Maybe he's gonna have sex with the guy and the woman will think he's gay and leave him. Or he's gonna bang her in the ass with a rifle.
