Def Leppard, 41. Both songs are awful though. I try to change the channel before I hear globan. ---

'80s kid, so Def Leppard. ---

Offspring. And now “Pretty Fly For a White Guy” has been stuck in my head for a day. Thanks. Not sure I’ve ever heard the Def Leppard song. ---

Def Lepard. I’m pretty sure I’ve personally kept some Bridgestone Tire shops in business to that song (and a few others). special mention besides Def Lepard: Van Halen Sammy Hagar U2 Depeche Mode AC/DC Aerosmith R.E.M. The Smiths Simple Minds New Order The Pretenders Southside Johnny … and… that gentleman whose girl friends always defaced the library where I had to study, Bon Jovi… …and that OTHER gentleman… the one who I’ve never ever ever ever been able to see play, because scalpers always jam-up the prices… Bruce Springsteen. (Hey Bruce… You ever get tired of the same old boring 500 Millionaires filling the seats of your audience? You let me know. Here… Rt 35 by the mall… whatever…) ---

Offspring. I don’t know the other, though I’m not surprised to hear the line came from elsewhere. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > Just something that popped into my head when I was in the car today and heard that bit of nonsense **German** on the radio. For me, the Offspring’s son is the first that comes to mind - I’m aware that Def Leppard came first, but I became aware of the latter song first, and it seems to get more airplay these days. And all this time I thought it was [Swedish](http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/muppet/images/9/9c/Swedish_poser.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100711135419). ---

I also have Weird Al stuck in my head now, so thanks for that. ---

> [@Asimovian](#): > > I also have Weird Al stuck in my head now, so thanks for that. Yeah, I answered “Def Leppard”, because I’m 50. And I’m much more familiar with “Veren zol fun dir a blintsa” from Al’s “[Pretty Fly for a Rabbi](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flcnIVDCnFA)” than Offspring’s song. I did finally track down the Offspring song, and thought Al’s rendition was better and tighter. ---

Def Leppard. Not my favorite song by them, but I’ll take it over any Offspring anytime. And Weird Al’s better than both. ---

I’m pretty sure a recent study performed by The Rand corporation definitively showed that Def Leppard was and is the poserest “metal” band that has ever posered or metaled. Look it up. Don’t ask me for a cite cause I can’t be arsed. ---

“Self Esteem” is the only Offspring song I know, and it’s better than anything by Deff Leppard by miles.
