Art finally found its ideal synthesis of expression in Def Leopard's Hysteria, straddling the border between Shakespearean poetry, Beethoven-ian instrumental assault, Michelangelo-ian angst, Kafka-esque-ian irony and bleakness, Welles-ian direction of sound, Mingus-ian group dynamism, and a Beefheart-ian lack of respect for the listener.

I have always believed that if you add loud electric guitar to this song, you have a direct bridge from The Archies to "Pour Some Sugar On Me". Particularly toward the end.

Sugar, ah honey honey
You are my candy girl
And you've got me wanting you
Honey, ah sugar sugar
You are my candy girl
And you've got me wanting you

I just can't believe the loveliness of loving you
(I just can't believe it's true)
I just can't believe the one to love this feeling to
(I just can't believe it's true)

Ah sugar, ah honey honey
You are my candy girl
And you've got me wanting you
Ah honey, ah sugar sugar
You are my candy girl
And you've got me wanting you

When I kissed you, girl, I knew how sweet a kiss could be
(I know how sweet a kiss can be)
Like the summer sunshine pour your sweetness over me
(Pour your sweetness over me)

Sugar, pour a little sugar on it honey
Pour a little sugar on it baby
I'm gonna make your life so sweet, yeah yeah yeah
Pour a little sugar on it oh yeah
Pour a little sugar on it honey
Pour a little sugar on it baby
I'm gonna make your life so sweet, yeah yeah yeah
Pour a little sugar on it honey

Ah sugar, ah honey honey
You are my candy girl
And you've got me wanting you
Oh honey, honey, sugar sugar...
You are my candy girl...

J-Man Core? Most definitely. Also the pure definition of pop metal. Def Leppard may have had some turmoil, but they also sold their souls to the demons of album sales in the process.

And this...

"You got the peaches, I got the cream"

...sung by a tough sounding "metal" musician is maybe the most unfortunately hilarious moment in rock history.

A once potentially great hard rock band completes the descent into mindless, arena-friendly cheez-whiz
