It was also a Top 40 hit in Australia and made the Top 50 in the UK.

Richard Marx based the sound of" Angelia" on Def Leppard's 1983 album" Pyromania" and the 1987 album" Hysteria".
During recordings of" Angelia", engineer and co-producer David Cole along with Richard Marx tried to copy the sounds of the guitars and drums that Def Leppard and producer" Mutt" Lange had used on the" Hysteria" and" Pyromania" records.
During a night out with Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen, Richard Marx was told that Def Leppard attempted to emulate Angelia for a song that was to appear on the next Def Leppard album," Adrenalize".
The song Def Leppard recorded with" Angelia" in mind was likely the hit" Stand Up( Kick Love Into Motion)".

Michael Landau played the guitar solo on the song.

Wasted (Def Leppard song)
“ Wasted ” is a song by British rock band Def Leppard.
It is the first single, and seventh track, from their debut album" On Through the Night".
The recording featured on the single is a different version from the" On Through the Night" LP.
The B- Side on the single is “ Hello America ”, which is also a different recording from the LP.
These alternative, single- only versions of “ Wasted ” and “ Hello America ” had never been released on CD, until 2018 when they were included as part of the" Def Leppard Collection: Volume One" box set, as the first two tracks of the" Rarities- Volume One" disc.
The record was produced by Nick Tauber, who the band selected because of his previous clients, particularly Thin Lizzy.
Two other songs," Rock Brigade"( also a re-recording) and" Glad I‘m Alive, ” were recorded during the session but were shelved when the band ’s management were displeased with the production, thus resulting in" Wasted" and" Hello America" being released as singles.
Tauber ’s versions of “ Rock Brigade ” and “ Glad I ’m Alive ” remain unreleased.
Unused promotional videos for" Wasted" and" Rock Brigade", filmed in London in the fall of 1979, surfaced on YouTube in 2009 when they were uploaded by the director of the clips.
This was the first time the Tauber version of" Rock Brigade" appeared anywhere, which leaves" Glad I'm Alive" as the only song from those sessions to remain hidden.
Although Def Leppard has all but disowned" On Through the Night", “ Wasted ” has nonetheless been played live occasionally on some recent tours( since 1999) to the present – being the only song from that album apart from six performances of “ Rock Brigade ” in 2005 and 2013 to be performed since the completion of the" Pyromania" tour.
Boy Pop
"Boy Pop" is the eleventh single released by the American synthpop band Book of Love.
The song was released on May 6, 1993, as the first single from the band's fourth album "Lovebubble".

The song is a dance anthem, and an ode to gay men, with its lyric of "Brother love...
Across the nation...
On the bottom or the top, when we go, we go pop...
Boys united cannot be divided...".
Although the song did not chart on the "Billboard" Hot 100, the song became a huge club hit, peaking at no.
4 on the "Billboard" Hot Dance Club Play chart, spending twelve weeks on the chart and becoming the band's second biggest dance club hit.

" Desert Song" is a song by British hard rock band Def Leppard from their 1993 rarities and' B- sides' album" Retro Active".
This song was an outtake from the songwriting sessions that produced 1987's" Hysteria".
Self- produced, it became one of the last songs to be released by Def Leppard bearing the songwriting and guitar- playing of Steve Clark, who died on 8 January 1991.
It was a hit on U.S. rock radio, reaching number twelve on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
It was recorded as an instrumental for their album" Hysteria"( 1987) but left off the album and was largely forgotten until the band decided to commit the song for" Retro Active".
On a day off during their 7 Day Weekend Tour, Elliott composed lyrics whilst listening to the track.
Elliott assembled the band and remains the only Def Leppard song to feature both Clark's guitar playing and Clark's successor Vivian Campbell on background vocals, although Campbell's contributions are uncredited in the" Retro Active" liner notes.
Lyrically the song is about Mick Ronson who was dying of cancer at the time.
It told the story of a man facing death alone.
