Yep, piss poor attempt all right. Loosely translated, isn't it "Gunther, Gleiben, Glauben, Glouben"? It's the intro to "Rock of Ages" from the Pyromania album, and the Offspring recently stole it and used it as the intro to "Pretty Fly (for a White Guy)". I have NO idea what it means, only that these days anyone under 25 associates it with the Offspring and not Def Leppard. But that's how it goes, I suppose.

"Gunter glieben glauchen globen" is what the lyrics sheet I had, listed it as..
according to the Def Leppard FAQ:
There are a lot of different stories here. Here are a few options: - Gunter Glieben Glauchen Globen - Gunter Gliechen Glauben Globen - Unter Lieben Glauten Globen
The only true story is that it's Mutt Lange who says those words. It seems that Mutt got tired of saying the same old 'One, two, three, four' at the start of the song, and that he started to say meaningless words instead of counting.
There are a couple of other stories floating around, which are all NOT true:
It's Rick Allen talking some gibberish. Not true. True is, that he does say it sometimes when the band plays the song live.
Some people claim that those words are some strange language, and that it means 'Running through the forest silently'.
Also, the words could be German. 'Glauben' means 'believing', 'unter' means 'under' and 'lieben' means 'loving'. The other words could also mean something German, but I don't have a clue...
Finally (this one is funny), the story goes that the words are from the Swedish cook of the Muppet Show!
