"Stiff Upper Lip" is a song by Australian rock band AC/DC, composed by Angus and Malcolm Young. It was released on 8 February 2000 as the lead single from their 14th studio album, Stiff Upper Lip (2000). The song gave the band their third number-one single on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and it entered the top five on the airplay charts of Poland and Spain.
Music video The music video, directed by Andy Morahan, starts with the band driving down the street in a red 1997 Hummer H1 when they get caught in a traffic jam. They then pull into a back alley, get out of the car, and begin to play the song on the street. The song that the band was listening to before the car jam was "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)", a song released when the late Bon Scott was a member of the band. Lady Gaga made a cameo pre-fame.
