More on Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter
Description from Wikipedia:
Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter is the second single from the album No Prayer for the Dying, Iron Maiden's first full-length album in over two years (following the 1988 release Seventh Son of a Seventh Son). The song was originally recorded and released by Bruce Dickinson on the soundtrack album to the movie A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child. The original version of the song can now be found on disc 2 of The Best of Bruce Dickinson.
When Dickinson recorded with Iron Maiden in the autumn of 1990 following a two year hiatus, the band recorded their own version of the song, which became the first Iron Maiden single to reach #1 on the UK charts. The single also received the dubious honour of a Golden Raspberry Award for "Worst Original Song" of 1989.
The B-side features cover versions of songs by Free and Led Zeppelin, respectively.
The promo video clip for the song features footage from the 1960 film "The City of the Dead" (also known as "Horror Hotel"), starring Christopher Lee. A sound clip from the same film is used by Rob Zombie in the song "Dragula", the video stars Graham Chapman.
Dickinson once explained what the song meant and how it related to the Nightmare on Elm Street films: "Here I tried to sum up what I thought Nightmare On Elm Street movies are really about, and it's all about adolescent fear of period pains. That's what I think it is - deep down. When a young girl first gets her period she bleeds and it happens at night, and so she is afraid to go to sleep and it's a very terrifying time for her, sexually as well, and Nightmare On Elm Street targets that fear. The real slaughter in the Freddie movies is when she loses her virginity. That is the rather nasty thought behind it all, but that's what makes those kind of movies frightening."
