"Photograph" is a song performed by English hard rock band Def Leppard and produced by Robert John "Mutt" Lange. It is the lead single from the band's third studio album, ''Pyromania'' (1983). Their lead vocalist Joe Elliott has described the song as generally about "something you can't ever get your hands on".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Joe Elliott: We Didn't Start the Fire )〕 When released as a single it reached No. 1 on the ''Billboard'' Top Tracks chart and No. 12 on the Pop Singles chart.〔Whitburn, Joel (2004). ''The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits'', 8th Edition (Billboard Publications), page 170.〕 In 2006 the song was used in promotional adverts for the DVD release of ''Blades of Glory''. In 2009 it was named the 13th greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1. It was also listed as the No. 17 greatest song of the past 25 years by VH1.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=VH1's 100 Greatest Songs )〕 The 1993 live recording of the song in Sheffield, England appeared in the music video game ''Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock'' as part of a Def Leppard downloadable track pack, as did the 1993 live recording of "Rock of Ages". The song was also included in the tracklisting of the rhythm music video game ''Battle of the Bands''. In 2008 they performed the song with country pop singer Taylor Swift on ''CMT Crossroads''. The studio recording of the song appears in the video game Grand Theft Auto V on the Los Santos Rock Radio station. ==Music video== There are two slightly different versions of the music video. The uncensored version shows a knife scene at the beginning, and on the censored version of the video, it is almost the same except the knife scene is replaced with a stationary black cat among other minor bits removed. There are several appearances of a look alike impersonating Marilyn Monroe in the video, as the song is actually about the star and lead singer Joe Elliott's declaration that he doesn't just "want () photograph" but that is all he has of her, and he must admire her from afar. The music video was directed by David Mallet〔(((( Def Leppard UK.com ))) :: Def Video 2 Pyromania 1983/High 'n' Dry 1984: )〕 and was shot on 2 December 1982 (bassist Rick Savage's 22nd birthday), in Battersea, London, England. It featured the video debut of their co-lead guitarist Phil Collen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Photograph (Def Leppard song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
