- Def Leppard nearly left their smash hit, "Pour Some Sugar on Me", off of their 1987 album, 'Hysteria'.
- Guitarist Phil Collen told Apple Music that singer Joe Elliott was "just goofing off" in the studio on an acoustic guitar, mumbling the song's chorus.
- Producer Mutt Lange overheard Elliott and told the band "We need to record this song. This is going to be the most important song on the record."
- Lange was right. The song hit #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
