Fun Fact: Brian Johnson Sang Jingle In Hoover Vacuum Commercial

Fun Fact 2: Recorded Hoover jingle same day he auditioned for AC/DC

The same day Brian Johnson auditioned to replace Bon Scott as AC/DC's lead singer, he recorded the jingle for a Hoover vacuum cleaner commercial. Apparently, he wasn't that confident about AC/DC, because he thought, at 32, he was quote, "an old fart." Plus, the Hoover gig paid around 700 bucks. But his AC/DC audition blew the band away, and he was announced as their new lead singer on April 1st, 1980. That same month, his Hoover commercial aired. And to this day, no vacuum cleaner has risen to that level of coolness again.
