¶ … Def Leppard Rocks!
the year they came together.
Joe, Sav, and Pete;
Steve and Rick came later.
At first, they were Deaf Leopard,
But that was so not cool,
So they became Def Leppard,
And they started to catch on.
On Through the Night" debuted,
And the Leppard had a hit,
In America, "Hello America"
Is on the air, and changes everything.
Brand new MTV plays "Bringin' on the Heartbreak,"
Def opens for Ozzy Osborne and Blackfoot,
Fans 'round the world get Leppard-mania.
Changes come, and changes go.
Pete leaves, and Phil replaces.
Pyromania" sells 7 million in the U.S.,
And finally they headline in the U.S.A.
Tragedy strikes! Thrown from a vehicle,
Rick loses an arm,
But learns to drum one-handed,
Adding even more to the band's mystique.
1987, the band's been around 10 years.
Hysteria" sells 16 mil,
And Def Leppard is a mega-hit.
Tragedy strikes again, when Steve Clark
Dies, mixing painkillers with booze.
The band takes a year off,
Then Vivian joins in,
Adrenalize" becomes the biggest selling album yet.
Together 15 years, they open
Don Valley Stadium in England,
And sell out in their hometown.
In tribute to Steve,
Retro Active" mixes the last of the Clark-era music and the band moves on.
New music, new tours, new energy,
And a greatest hits album,
Def Leppard is immortal
So it seems.
Three concerts on three continents
In only one day,
No one else has done it,
But they take it in stride.
Out comes "Slang,"
And another huge world tour,
VH1 "Behind the Music,"
Shows they're really number one, diamond award for music sales
Just says what everyone knows.
The band is immortal,
And rings in the Millennium
To welcome the 21st century
At a concert in the U.S.A.
Def Leppard still rocks on,
Nearly 30 years later,
They came, they saw,
They rocked, and they still rock on
