"Armageddon It" by Def Leppard is a playful pun that sounds like the phrase "I'm-a-gettin' it." Despite sounding like the biblical end of the world, the track uses the phrase as a catchy, tongue-in-cheek rock and roll innuendo about sexual pursuit and mutual attraction. Origins of the Title The phrase started as a temporary vocal placeholder used during studio sessions. It mimics the slang expression "Are you getting it?" fused with "I'm a-getting it". The band tried writing alternative lyrics later on, but the placeholder phrase fit the rhythm best and stuck. Song Themes Double Entendre: The lyrics describe a passionate game of pursuit between a man and a reluctant or teasing woman. Musical Style: The band members described the track as a fun party song where 1970s glam rock meets upbeat rockabilly.
