	I use to think he said Tesla, as in the band followed by: "Angus and His AC/DC" because his guitar style at the end goes into an Angus Young sort of finale. I mean, the whole song kinda has a punkish AC/DC type feel to it.

	the astro is something you do in private or a thought/secret you have that no one knows about everyone does the astro

No Picture Max Average	#4 by Max Benton at Oct 1, 1976 at 9:15 AM EST
	The last three lines of this song are three of the greatest ever written. Tesla is my hero.

No Picture patrick Wanna Be	#5 by patrick at Jul 11, 1977 at 5:01 PM EST
	thanks for that vellocet, i always wondered what this song was about. what does the acdc bit mean? i always assumed it meant bi, but that doesn't fit with the rest of the song.

No Picture Elizabeth Wanna Be	#6 by Elizabeth Greer at Aug 17, 1977 at 5:01 PM EST
	edison and tesla were both inventors, which i think everyone knows. AC stands for Alternating Current, and DC stands for Direct Current. which are different ways of providing power via electricity. and both Edison and Tesla sided with (and thought up) the different ways (AC and DC). Edison favored Direct Current, which is like water through a hose, a continuous flow of electrons, and Tesla favored Alternating Current, which is more confusing...a rivalry ensued over which way was better. it eventually ended and AC won, and Tesla went insane, later inventing a "Death Ray", and having intense fears of everything round.

No Picture Kyle Average	#7 by Kyle at Oct 3, 1986 at 1:53 AM EST
	I think we can all agree that this song kicks ass...period

No Picture Joonas Wanna Be	#8 by Joonas Luukkainen at Oct 17, 1986 at 5:53 PM EST
	the "astro" is doing something hypocritically in secret. edison does the astro by being for acdc when in reality edison was publically and strongly against acdc. he believed that dc was better

No Picture Ben Rhythm Player	#9 by Ben at May 22, 1993 at 7:33 AM EST
	It's supposed to be: Maybe Tesla does the Astro Maybe Edison is AC/DC

No Picture Keegan Average	#10 by Keegan at Apr 24, 1996 at 9:49 PM EST
	Astro is what you do in private , that's known only to you. And sometimes , in live versions , Jack will play "Maybe Tesla does the Astro , Nikola Tesla does the Astro" , just a tidbit for you all :)

No Picture David Rhythm Player	#11 by David Bradley at Aug 15, 2001 at 12:52 AM EST
	i like the live version of this that all of a sudden breaks into "jack the ripper" the guitar fucking rules

No Picture aleXeXeX Rhythm Player	#12 by aleXeXeX at Feb 6, 2002 at 9:17 AM EST
	I thought it was about a shift in trends from dance music to rock music ("Ed listens to AC/DC"). But the volatage stuff sounds more likely.

No Picture Kieran Average	#13 by Kieran Molloy at Aug 24, 2004 at 8:15 AM EST
	"the astro" is whatever someone does in private, that makes them happy. Could be anything, like a dance, or making up words to a song...
