You can indeed. That's the one. Your turn.

Clues explained:


Clue 1: A picture of John Wayne from his 1957 film "The Wings of Eagles". "On the Wings of Eagles" was the working title for what later became "Can I Play With Madness"
Clue 2: The song has an ending that mirrors the beginning of the song. The glorious a capella, obviously.
Clue 3: The song was for a period known under another name. Both the previous title and the final title the song was given contains the name of two bands. Moreover, the name of a big-selling artist with numerous number one hits appears several times in the lyrics.
See clue 1. The bands are: Wings. Eagles. Can. Madness. (Stevie) Wonder is the big-selling artist.
Clue 4: The song has been played live. It has only been performed by one Maiden singer. An element of the live performance has been subject to criticism by some fans. Only Bruce sang this (thankfully). The a capella intro has often been rather ramshackle and way out of tune when performed live.
Clue 5: The lyrics are told from a first person narrative. There is however more than one central character in the song.
The lyrical self and the Prophet are the key characters.
Clue 6: A still photo from the "Can I Play With Madness" video.
