It's about Bon (or Brian) catching Gonorreah from a girl who claimed she was a virgin. When you first listen to the song you think it's about a card game but its not... You kinda get the song more with Brian's live version of it.

You guys are idiots! Brian Johnson is a great singer. The song is probably about either, like they said, an STD or is actually about a girl who beat Bon Scott in a poker game.

It's about Bon Scott's you know what.... and STDs. If you think it's about cards you're dead wrong!

Just listen to it live on "If you want blood". You won't be confused at what Bon means.

I'm kind of freakin out, because these lyrics aren't anything like the ones on my ipod. Mine starts out with,
"She gave me her mind
then she gave me her body"
Then it says that she told him she was a virgin, then it says,
"And I had to fall in love with that dirty little bitch."

Why are these lyrics so different?

The Jack is a slang term for crabs in Australia. I think.

alright alright, first of all the song the jack was written by bon back in the pub days the song is about a girl who he slept with who had "the clap" as ever bon was famous for his inuendos the jack was the studio version,using a card game to replace the sexual encounter in the live version of the jack bon told the dirty story. good version of this is on the if you want blood album

I'm setting the record straight The Jack yes has two different lyrics to it, the studio version which was also done live at atlantic studios and the live version that we all love anyway. It's a slang for gonorrhea in Australia and bon who was promiscuous must of caught it from this girl. Now knowing that bon got in trouble for swearing before he made a double meaning on the studio version to make it seem like a card game when there were sexual references like "she never had a full house" "my ace was high", if I knew what she was dealing out... come on people! Live versions they did the true meaning of the song because they didn't care it was live except on the live at Atlantic studios where they had to make it the studio version because it was on national radio they would get sued a lot of money. Come on people it's SEX! AC/DC is the greatest band of all time you guys just don't know!

:) this is strange, I think the VD interpretation is right... but I always thought that she's got the jack ment that she was a HE and Bon discovered it a little late and ran away.. a bit like Dude looks like a lady of aerosmith :)

She's got the Jack (aka She's got the Clap) are songs about Bon Scott catching Gonorreah from a woman who lied about being a virgin. Both "the Clap" and "The Jack" are Australian slang terms for STD's... The term "The Clap" specifically refers to Gonorrhea. Almost all ACDC songs have variations to them, even when done by ACDC!; but this song is one that probably has the most variations. "The Jack" was originally known as "The Clap." This was released in Australia in 1975 on their second album, T.N.T. Their first 2 Australian releases were combined to form High Voltage in 1976, which was their first album released worldwide. On the live version of this song, Bon Scott sometimes would share with the crowd a more direct set of lyrics than the one on the recording. This can be heard on AC/DC's 1978 live album If You Want Blood, You've Got It. AC/DC played this before a crowd of 500,000 at show in Toronto in 2003. The concert, which also featured The Rolling Stones, Rush, and others, was a benefit for the city, which suffered a drop in tourism due to the spread of a rare disease called SARS (Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome). AC/DC had no problem singing about one disease at a benefit for another, and the fans didn't mind either.
