Casanova – LeVert
“Casanova” is a 1987 single by LeVert. The song reached number five on the Hot 100 singles chart and number nine on the UK Singles Chart, their only top ten on either chart. The single also peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot Black Singles chart for two weeks, becoming Levert’s second number one on the chart. It also peaked at number twenty-seven on the dance chart. The song has also become a standard number for New Orleans brass bands following its popularization by the Rebirth Brass Band.
Animal – Def Leppard
“Animal” is a song recorded by British hard rock band Def Leppard in 1987 from the album Hysteria. It was the 2nd single release off the album, and became the band’s first Top 10 hit in their native UK, reaching No. 6 on the UK Singles Chart.
“Animal” is usually noted by the band as having been the most difficult track to record for Hysteria. Although it was one of the first songs developed in early 1984, neither the band nor the producers who came and went (Jim Steinman, Nigel Green, & Mutt Lange) were able to produce the desired sound until two and a half painstaking years later.
However, the effort paid off when “Animal” was released as the lead single off the album in July 1987. In the UK, where the band was all but ignored during the Pyromania era, the song hit #6 on the singles chart and broke Def Leppard into the pop mainstream across Europe.
Big Time – C.C. Catch
“Big Time” is the first single by pop singer C. C. Catch from her 5th studio album Hear What I Say, and was released in 1989 by Metronome. The single entered Top-30 German Charts, peaking at #26.
Once Bitten, Twice Shy – Ian Hunter/Great White
“Once Bitten, Twice Shy” is a 1975 song by Ian Hunter, from his debut solo album Ian Hunter, which reached No. 14 in the UK Singles Chart.
It was covered in 1989 by the American hard rock group Great White on their fourth album …Twice Shy. This version was also released as a single, which charted at No.5 on the Billboard Hot 100, at No.6 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and again in the UK. The song was also covered by the Australian rock group The Angels on their 1991 album Red Back Fever.
