Congratulations,
@Vaenyr !
Clue #1: cameo
// "Or maybe her attention is drawn by Aqualung" ("Aqualung" is the name of the song that gives its title to the Jethro Tull album this song was originally taken from)
Clue #2:
skotos (σκότος)
// Ian Anderson, the writer of the song, was born Scottish.
Clue #3:
View attachment 30482 but one year before.
// Jethro Tull released
Aqualung in 1971 and
Thick as a Brick in 1972.
Clue #4: This song fared surprisingly well in the US.
// ... to the point that, according to the corresponding Listen With Nicko!, a few US radio stations played Maiden's cover, instead of "The Trooper", which was the A-side of the single.
Clue #5:
View attachment 30515
// like the character of Cross-Eyed Mary, Iris Steensma (Jodie Foster's character in
Taxi Driver) is a teenage prostitute.
Clue #6:
// "And who would steal the candy /From a laughing baby's mouth" Well, Peter Griffin, of course.
Clue #7: "Revelations" and "Jerusalem"
// These are two of the songs that Ian Anderson and Bruce Dickinson performed in the Canterbury Cathedral in December 2011 (the third being "Locomotive Breath).
Clue #8: the song we are looking for wasn't released on CD until 1990 and on the CD version of the corresponding album until 1995.
// First appearance on CD in
The First Ten Years collection.
Clue #9: I thought it was obvious in clue #8 (apparently not
) but the song we're looking for is a cover from a band dear to Bruce's and Steve's hearts especially. < self-explanatory
Your turn,
@Vaenyr !
