Exactly 38 years ago, the English rock band released on of the biggest singles of their career: "Pour Some Sugar On Me." Having already been included on their smash hit album Hysteria in 1987, the song took on a new life when it was officially released as a single on April 16, 1988.
"Pour Some Sugar On Me" would end up debuting on Billboard's Hot 100 just one week after its release and later climbed its way up to the No. 2 position, peaked in July 1988. It is one of Def Leppard's highest-charting singles on the Hot 100, behind the band's only No. 1 hit, "Love Bites."
It's been ranked on a number of music roundups, including VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Songs of the '80s, with the classic Def Leppard track landing at No. 2 on that list, behind only Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer."

When producer Robert Lange walked into the room, he knew the band had to record it, but Elliot was hesitant.
A few days later, "We played the guys what we had," Elliot said. "The smiles broke out after about 45 seconds, luckily."
