Do you really, really wanna do this now?
Do you really, really wanna do this now?
Do you really, really wanna do this now?
Do you really, really wanna do this

The heat goes up as the lights go down
The beat goes on when we hit your town
You overload on electric light
There's magic in the air tonight

Welcome to the carnival
Welcome to the party
Welcome to the edge of your seat

Let's go
Let's go
Do you really wanna do this now?
Let's go
Let's go
Do you really, wanna do this now?

Your heart is beating like a drum
So step right up 'cos your time has come
Gotta stand up gotta get in line
Come take a look, it'll blow your mind

Welcome to the carnival
Welcome to the party
Welcome to the edge of your seat

Let's go
Let's go
Do you really wanna do this now?
Let's go
Let's go
Do you really wanna do this now?

Do this now?

Magic and wonder will hit you like thunder
The feeling gets stronger so let yourself go

Welcome to the carnival
Welcome to the party
Welcome to the edge of your seat

Let's go
Let's go
Do you really wanna do this now?
Let's go
Let's go
Do you really wanna do this now?

Let's go
Let's go
Do you really wanna do this now?
Let's go
Go
Do you (do you) really (really), wanna do this now?

Def Leppard

In 1977, Rick Savage, Tony Kenning, and Pete Willis were students at a secondary school in Sheffield, England. They had a band called Atomic Mass. Lead singer Joe Elliott joined later that year, and suggested a new band name. Within 10 years, that name, Def Leppard, became one of the most recognised in English rock music. To date, they have released more than 40 singles.

Def Leppard was a definitive part of the new wave of British heavy metal bands in the late 1970s. Their first three albums had tremendous momentum, each outselling the one before. Then, after the release of Pyromania in 1983, drummer Rick Allen lost his arm in a car accident. The band stuck by him through his recovery and retraining.

When Def Leppard came back, they came back hard. Their fourth album, 1987’s Hysteria, was a hard rock masterpiece that took the world by storm. By then the music video had matured as a film style, and Hysteria’s singles and videos had enough pop, sex, colour, and glam to put it over the top. Hysteria was one of the biggest-selling albums of the 1980s.
