Pyromania (album)

Pyromania (literally meaning "a mania for fire") is the third album by British hard rock band Def Leppard, released in 1983 (see 1983 in music). The album contains three sizeable hits "Photograph", "Foolin'" and "Rock of Ages". The latter featured the intro "Gunter glieben glauchen globen," which many were led to believe was "walking silently through a forest" in German. In actuality, it is gibberish.
