Long Way to Heaven was followed by the release of Wild in the Streets in 1987, featuring the title track and a cover of ” Dream On ” by Nazareth . One song from that record, “She’s Too Tough” was written by Joe Elliot , lead singer for Def Leppard . Leppard also recorded their own version of “She’s Too Tough” and released it as a B-side and on their album Retro Active . The recording of Wild in the Streets , done in England with producer Mike Stone , was plagued by extensive takes and remixes. Still, the album went gold in Canada, but only managed a disappointing No. 179 on the Billboard 200 in the United States .
