"Let's Get Rocked" is a 1992 single by British hard rock band Def Leppard from their multi-platinum album Adrenalize. The song soared to #1 on the Mainstream Rock charts, and #15 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Lead vocalist Joe Elliott has claimed the song is about popular cartoon character Bart Simpson disobeying the orders of his parents and also tells the story of Joe himself as a child. He has also stated people from the band's hometown Sheffield, England will understand the lyrics better than anyone else. It is thought the title is a euphemism or bad pun for "Let's get fucked" as in have sex[citation needed]. This is hinted when Elliot sings "Let's get the Rock out of here" and outright stated during some live performances since, when Elliott substitutes "Suppose a blowjob's out of the question" for the recorded line "Suppose a rock's out of the question".
Also According to a Joe Elliot statement on the "Rock of Ages" and "Best Of" compilation albums, this song was an escapism since the band was working on the "White Lighting" song and felt like doing something to lighten the atmosphere.
