Long before Donald Trump<\/a> ever had political aspirations, he was grabbing headlines as one of New York\u2019s most talked-about real estate moguls. Trump\u2019s penchant for partying — and his numerous affairs — often grabbed tabloid headlines, and they even inspired a Christmas song by AC\/DC<\/a>.<\/p>\n In 1990, the Australian rock legends were prepping their comeback album, The Razor\u2019s Edge<\/a><\/em>. At the same time, Trump\u2019s affair with Marla Maples was all over the news — the future president had been cheating on his first wife, Ivana, with the model. While watching the scandal from afar, Angus Young<\/a> and his bandmates suddenly found themselves wondering what it would be like to be a\u00a0pampered playboy on Christmas.<\/p>\n The lyrics for what would become “Mistress for Christmas” came quickly, delivered in an internationally campy fashion. Verses included: \u201cI like female form in minimum dress \/ Money to spend with a capital S \/ Get a date with the woman in red \/ Wanna be in Heaven with three in a bed.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n This wasn\u2019t high art, but it wasn\u2019t meant to be. Instead, the members of AC\/DC were just looking to have a bit of festive fun. Yes, the track featured Christmas bells and references to the holiday, but the band didn\u2019t tone down any of the roaring guitar riffs or howling vocals that fans had come to expect.<\/p>\n READ MORE: <\/strong>Top AC\/DC Post-‘Back in Black’ Songs<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cYou always have a bit of the ‘ol fool-around now and again,\u201d Angus Young recalled to Guitar World<\/em><\/a>, describing \u201cMistress for Christmas\u201d as \u201cfunniest song on [The Razor\u2019s Edge<\/em>].\u201d \u201cThat song’s about Donald Trump,\u201d the guitarist confirmed. \u201cHe was big news at the time, so we thought we’d have a bit of fun and humor with it.\u201d<\/p>\n Released in September 1990, The Razor\u2019s Edge<\/em> helped return AC\/DC to the rock spotlight. Songs like \u201cThunderstruck\u201d and \u201cMoneytalks\u201d were universally hailed, while \u201cMistress for Christmas\u201d proved polarizing. It remains one of the few songs AC\/DC has never played live.<\/p>\n Gallery Credit: UCR Staff<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nDonald Trump Inspired AC\/DC’s ‘Mistress for Christmas’<\/h3>\n
