Not sure how much airplay this one gets anymore.  You'd hear it pretty regularly in 1981 but these days the vast majority of Def Leppard songs I hear on the radio (or on randomized Spotify type playlists) are off their 3 most popular albums-- Pyromania (1983), Hysteria (1987), and Adrenalize (1992).  This is off an earlier album, their second studio album called "High 'n' Dry" from 1981.

Listen all the way through to the end because the second part is a really cool instrumental that is added on to the end of "Bringin' on the Heartbreak" and even if you've heard the first part, lots of radio stations wouldn't play the second.

I do, but I definitely hear far more "Photograph" and "Pour Some Sugar on Me" than I do "Bringin' on the Heartbreak" on those stations.

"In Spite of Ourselves"
John Prine and Iris Dement

He ain't got laid in a month of Sundays
I caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies
He ain't too sharp but he gets things done
Drinks his beer like it's oxygen
He's my baby
And I'm his honey
Never gonna let him go

Beisbol's comin'

Here's a trio from "the whites."  Great White, White Lion, and Whitesnake.

Just now working my way through these.  This is one of I knew, but I don't remember ever seeing the video.  So as an aside, let me just drop some drum-nerdery that maybe only Tulip will appreciate.  Obviously, the kit in the video may have nothing to do with the kit he recorded the song with, or played live with, or whatever.  But let me just say how rare and bass-ackward it is to see a kit with a clear-batter snare head and coated-batter toms.  It's almost universally the other way around.  Sometimes these guys used coated batter snare heads, but literally almost never coated tom heads.....they just don't have the punch most hair metal drummers are looking for.  I know nobody cares, but it jumped out at me.
