Band Name Origins:

  • DEF LEPPARD - In November 1977, the first Def Leppard rehearsal takes place in Sheffield (UK). Lead singer Joe Elliott & the members renamed the band from Deaf Leopard (a name first coined by him at school in 1975) to Def Leppard. He wanted to use the odd spelling idea provided by the band Led Zeppelin's logo. Submitted by: Ronk
  • When the band was still in school, they used to practice in the basement of Joe Elliott's house. One day they decided on a name, and Joe told his mum. "The name of our band is The Leopards." His mum replied, "Well, you're going to be a bunch of deaf leopards if you keep playing that loudly." Submitted by: Geno

Why the Name is Stupid:

  • It's a blatent rip off of the way Led Zepplin mispelled their name. Submitted by: space bob

Funny Lyrics:

"Let's Get Rocked"
The Funny Lyrics:
All I wanna do is take a ride into the blue
Everytime I wanna rock I'm stuck inside my room
Heaven knows I'm sick and tired of dancing with this broom
Why They're Funny:
I just get this really funny mental picture of a 15-year-old, pre-Def Leppard version of Joe Elliott, banished to his bedroom for doing who-knows-what, doing something very similar to that one scene in 'Risky Business' when Tom Cruise sings 'Old Time Rock 'n' Roll'. Cracks me up every time!

"Let's Get Rocked"
The Funny Lyrics:
Every time I wanna rock
I'm stuck inside my room
Heaven knows I'm sick and tired of dancing with this broom
Why They're Funny:
I just get this funny mental picture of a 15-year-old, pre Def Leppard version of Joe Elliott up in his room, doing the whole Tom Cruise thing with a broom...Which of us young rock star wannabees hasn't done that? Cracks me up everytime!

Repetitive Lyrics:

"No No No"
The Repetitive Lyrics:
At the end of the song: No No No NoNo
No No NoNo, etc...
Why They're Repetitive:
If you have the original lp or Cassette, the music is over and the word 'no!' is screamed approximately 50 times. On the cd version... the no's have been shortened by about half.
Submitted by: Herbie J Hatje
 

Inappropriate Lyrics:

"Love Bites"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
When you make love, do you look in the mirror? Who do you think of, does he look like me? Do you tell lies and say that it's forever? Do you think twice, or just touch 'n' see?
Why They're Inappropriate:
Ewwww dude... that's just plain sick!
Submitted by: Misa Owns U
"Two Steps Behind"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
(Whatever you do) I'll be two steps behind you (Wherever you go) and I'll be there to remind you that it only takes a minute of your precious time to turn around and I'll be two steps behind.
Why They're Inappropriate:
I know it's supposed to show support and everything but geez, it really sounds like a stalker to me. I'd be scared to death if someone dedicated this thing to me..
Submitted by: Misa Owns U

Dirty Lyrics:

"Pour Some Sugar On Me"
The Dirty Lyrics:
You got the peaches, I got the cream
Why They're Dirty:
Anyone with a basic understanding of innuendo (especially in song lyrics) should know what these lyrics mean, especially considering that the entire song is pretty suggestive. If you need a clue, keep in mind that a guy is singing this to a woman.
