How Florida Strippers Made Def Leppard Superstars

It's hard to believe, but releasing an album that went top 5 in the Billboard charts didn't make Def Leppard any money. Hell, it didn't even pay off the recording debt to their record label. So about a year after releasing what normally would be a "smash hit" album in Hysteria, the British five-some were happy to hear the rumblings of one song in particular being requested in America. It wasn't one of their 3 previous singles released, it was a mid-tempo party song that was being "danced" to in Florida. This is the story of how those "dancers" would help that song become one of the 80's most defining hair-metal anthems.
