TNT was released by Australian rock band AC/DC in 1975 on their Australian album T.N.T. and reached wider audiences on the international version of High Voltage in 1976. Built around Bon Scott's swaggering vocal and Angus Young's riff, it became one of the band's signature anthems. The chorus turned into a stadium chant and a pop culture shorthand for dynamite and danger, appearing across films, games, sports arenas and later meme edits where its few seconds signal something is about to blow up.
