the beggining of “pretty fly for a white guy”?
What is the origin of the phrase "pretty fly for a white guy," and what does it mean? Additionally, could you explain the significance of the words "Untem, gliben, glaussen, glauben"? What language are these words from? Thank you!

It’s a sample of the quasi-German nonsense phrase “Gunter glieben glauchen globen” from Def Leppard’s song “Rock of Ages”
According to the official Def Leppard FAQ,
These four words that you hear at the start of “Rock of Ages”, mean nothing in particular though, the band sometimes jokingly claims it means “running through the forest silently”. It’s gibberish, said by producer Mutt Lange during the recordings of the song, instead of the regular one, two, three, four.
