Here’s a little cool rock and roll fact: The 1960’s cartoon series Beany and Cecil featured a dastardly character named, “Dishonest John,” who carried around a business card that read: “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. Holidays, Sundays, and Special Rates.” Thank Angus Young, who suggested the song title to brother Malcolm and Bon Scott, all of whom are credited with writing one of our favorite rock songs.
