A sharp intake of breath opens the song. Immediately something is close and sinister, creeping towards you in the dark with menacing, predatory intentions. Then the guitar kicks in, stabbing the silence recklessly, almost clumsily, before settling into a low grumbling rhythm overlaid with the wolfish howl of Angus' lead. And then you know you're in danger when Bon enters with his gravelly, rasping and threatening description of the scene and his intentions, all delivered with a menace that betrays both an evil joy for his freedom and a subconscious anger at the people who are safe in bed while he is on the street.
This is a great song, no one could sing this like Bon or play it like AC/DC. It's bluesy and raw and thrillingly terrifying.
But Bon and the boys aren't really mean (unless you mess with them first ...). They're just having fun. So at the end, after the Night Prowler has supposedly taken you as his victim (exactly how is left to your fears and fantasies), Bon ends the song with a Mork impression, as a cheeky way of saying "nah, just kidding".
