— -- Chris Callahan of Menifee, California, set a portion of his epic Christmas light show to AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” and it totally rocks.

He said he included the iconic rock group in his synchronized show of 12 songs as an homage to Malcolm Young, the band’s guitarist and co-founder who died Nov. 18 at the age of 64.

“I made this song my focus this year due to the untimely events of the band recently,” Callahan, 32, wrote to ABC News.

Some of the other songs he included in the show are PSY’s “Gangnam Style,” Foreigner’s “Jukebox Hero” and the Christmas classic, “Here Comes Santa Claus.”
