Clue 4: The song has a few peculiar links to another artist, an artist who has sold more records than Iron Maiden. One such link is that the name of the song in question is the same as one of this other artist's biggest hits - only with other words.


Incorrect: Charlotte The Harlot, From Here To Eternity, Isle of Avalon, Innocent Exile, Cross-Eyed Mary, Black Bart Blues, Iron Maiden

Hey girl...

Ramones guitarist Johnny Ramone built his rapid down-strokes style on this riff.

This caught me a bit off guard, as I after posting this clue realised that Zep's first line is "stop what you're doing". So I had to give Maiden's version another listen, and Bruce actually sings "what you doing?". Which I guess technically is a question.

Cliff Richard's "We don't talk anymore". "Communication Breakdown" is also a "Bring your Daughter..." b-side. That single dethroned Cliff Richard from the top of the UK single charts in late 1990, to Bruce's delight.
