In reply to:

does that mean anything? what language is it, if any. i have always wondered what the deal with that was. as a kid, that was just the que to go crank up the stereo.



Since you asked...

According to the "official" Def Leppard FAQ at defleppard.com:

WHAT DOES "GUNTER GLIEBEN GLAUTEN GLOBEN" MEAN?
Nothing in particular (although the band sometimes jokingly claims it means "running through the forest silently"). It's gibberish said by producer Mutt Lange during the recordings of "ROCK OF AGES", instead of the regular one, two, three, four.
