Spelling of the band’s name? (I vaguely remember back in the 80s or 90s having heard an interview they gave wherein they explained how they came up with the name. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the details.)
I’m neither a fan nor a non-fan of the group as a whole nor of their music as a whole. There are numerous music artists or bands/groups that have a single song or a few songs that I like, regardless of genre. I may not identify with the act itself on the whole, just a particular song, sometimes more than one song. Def Leppard is one of them.
Without even listening to Def Leppard's song. Offhand, I'm unsure I know their song but I don't like Sheeran's song. I can't stand (comes close to "I hate") everything I've heard from him - - except for the very first song I heard -- "A Team." I'll always be a Sheeran fan, I guess - - because he created and sang a masterpiece for me "A Team" He simply and very quickly went downhill ever since. Ha! :)
EDIT: I went ahead and posted the song.

Jill Sobule's song was first and her song is all I can think of when Katy Perry's song ever gets played.
To me, Perry's song is OK but Sobule's song is so much more fun and enjoyable to me. And what a cute, fun music video. And for me, Sobule's is a better song, yup. And if anyone listens and you disagree with me on that, you're simply wrong. ;) ;)
EDIT: Better video, too.
;) ;)

And I realize that I asked a very very similar question myself and didn't even remember answering Just Asking's question with the exact two songs I answered with here. :)
I report myself for using your question, Just Asking, for myself. And I didn't even know until seeing it today that I had answered your question years ago. Woops. :)
