Are You Ready is a song by AC/DC. It is featured on the band's 1990 hit album The Razors Edge.
The songs meaning is sometimes speculated as being a comparison of heroin to a prostitute. Examples of possible analogies are:
- "...get ready for the night line!" (a line sometimes referes to a heroin injection, but could also refer to an adult chatline)
- "when she make you pump heat" (this could refer to injecting heroin, or it could be a sexual reference)
Further evidence of a comparison to a heroin addiction can be found in the chorus such as, "Who all need it? You all need it! Yes you do!"
The music video to this song shows prisoners attending an AC/DC mini-concert at their prison. One prisoner is being dressed up to get ready for the band to play the song. Guards shave his head nearly bald, leaving hairs that make up AC/DC's logo, the one similar to the cover of the band's music video tape, Clipped.
