| I think that the song is about the ancient Greek Agamemnon, who had to sacrifice his daughter, Iphinginia, to get a favourable wind so he could sail his army to Troy. His daughter was saved at the last minure by Athena with a stag in her place, but that didn't stop Agamemnon's wife, Clytemnestra, from killing him when he got back from Troy. Typical, survives 10 years war, and then gets killed by his own wife. I think this song actually was Christmas number 1, if you look on the inside of one of the covers of one of the albums, it say got to number one before Christmas and stayed there for 2 weeks, or something. But that muight just be my imagination. | |

| As far as I understand, this song (written for A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child) was Bruce Dickinson's take on what the Nightmare movies were really about - adolescent fear of period pains. Seems strange, I know... | |

| Sex theories you're all coming up with seem a bit strange, yet... still logical. Hmm o.O; Can't decide if I agree or not. And I can't believe this won worst song of the year. It's awesome. 1 2 Next | |

| This song is about the snoo-snoo! yeah, you know, sex! "True love and lipstick on your linen Bite the pillow, make no sound" "So unchain your back door invite me around" "So get down on your kneees honey Assume an attitude You just pray that i'll be waiting Cause you know i'm [cumming] soon" SEE?! | |

| Funny how this is not a very popular Maiden song, yet it's one of if not the only to go the #1 on the charts (England chats, mind you). It's also on what many Maiden fans consider the weakest Bruce album, yet that one debuted rather high in england as well. Great song, though. | |

| My friend told me that one day I'll walk into my dads bedroom and that song will be blaring and he'll be sitting in the corner with a knife in his hand and will kill me. Shine some light on this matter. Let me know what I should think. I happen to like this person so let me know if he's a psycho for thinking this and if I should avoid him for the rest of my days and stop fantasising. | |
