[Duvetlord]

My Claim to fame is that I met Rod Smallwood in the mens toilets at the hammersmith appolo a few years back during a maiden clive burr fund raising gig. He held open the toilet door for me, what a gent:P



[Phillthefaffer]

I remember when this came out. The only band with a good sense of humour. I loved it then and I love it now. Your's 74 year old English metal git! Up the Irons. Still going looooolz. You young guys love this band as they are the b(e)ast i have ever seen and i saw elvis & the rolling stones live. New ears please. Thanks Maiden.

[Varsh86]

YAY Yorkshire!!! I love Hudds'!

[DrummingAnimal]

i saw Rod at Sonisphere as he was walking through the security area.

I whacked out a few piss take lines in the style of this song. He just creased up laughing, tis good to know he prob went to the band after the gig and said "Some fan starting the piss out of me like you lot. Thats from that damned b-side you did."

[Billinois78]

@DrummingAnimal Haha yeah. Well, he must love it. I mean, how many other band's managers can you name? All the true Maiden fans know his name, and most know it because of this track.

I still laugh at this after all these years.

[fetthunderdome]

it's hilarious behind the immaginable! :D

[TricksterSmiling]

[Generalscorpio]

@MetalSwitch95 YORKSHIRE LADS UNITE. Good to see another Yorkshireman appreciating the greats.

[RSFanDomo]

BUT THAT'S WHERE HE GETS HIS PORK PIE!

[alaramoreira]

I was born in Huddersfield, but I've been living in Brazil since I was 1 year old. I'm a brazilian born in England. I root for Clube Atlético Mineiro, founded in 1908, as well as Huddersfield Town Athletic Football Club. Unfortunately, both clubs don't have great teams.

[rockercater]

Hay CUZ wish you still had this on Record,,,UP THE IRONS BRIAN...........C

[thorgal70]

they've got Sylvester Stallone on background vocals in this song ? :)

[SenyorJMEZ]

Haha, that's true Maiden humour. Up the Irons!!

[KafelObrotowy]

funny ;]

[inspire734]

Does anyone know if Iron Maiden ever did a song called The Football song?

Put in Volbeat The Football song in the search engine & have a listen & see if it isn't a British song like this. I use to live in England 20 yrs. ago & thought I heard this song over there & thought Maiden may have done it. I am going to put the song in the search by its self & see what comes up.

[Fan666Maiden]

LOL!!! This is hilarious! I understand why it never ended up on an album, though ; )

[albertabeef73]

I still have this song on a "Hot metal" sampler casette including "Wasted Years" and "Reachout" It was a promo for "Somewhere in time" from A&A records for 99cents with any Iron Maiden purchase.

[JonnyInfinite]

@albertabeef73 Reach Out - what a tune

[azeroth62]

Muy Buena canciion! comprare el cd b-side=D

[TheNikzaw]

im from huddersfield... this song is legendary always makes me laugh... "cos everybody knows that huddersfield is the centre of the universe!"

[baistiiii]

Dude, You should put the lyrics here.

[DarkAngel182]

"everybody knows that the centre of the universe is Huddersfield

That's why I don't live there anymore.

I live in Los Angeles.

It's great!... I think"

LOL!!!!

Still got the 12" single with this on the B-side somewhere.

[mikey5time]

It's Nicko doing an impression of Rod. He does the same on Flight 666.

[DarkAngel182]

According to the "Listen with Nicko" segment on the 10th anniversary re-issue of this, it was Bruce impersonating Rod.

I'll have to dig out my old 10th anniversary set again.

[sjcsiba]

"they make jokes about 'her' accent"??

last time I checked Rod was a man...

[sebassabes84]

oooops!! XD

[mistershithead]

"The reason I never took martial arts because

I was immensely fearsome and

I'd probably kill everybody

I came into contact with."

LMAO!!! Iron maiden Rocks! ;D

[machthegreat89]

That is Bruce Dickinson doing the voice, featuring a bit of the actual Smallwood.

[GORANJAMES2]

AWESOME!!!!

[ultimatemegadeath]

I love this song, haven't heard it in years! "don't what you're laughing about?!" can still remember the lyrics to this day!

[crossley1111]

Huddersfield ftw, yorkshire ftw, Huddersfield town ftw, Huddersfield giants ftw :)

[morepiepleaseTV]

Who else is singing? Is someone else singing?

[666danielclark666]

The Accent Is Niko Mcbrain I Think?

Maybe?

[peterne999999999]

But it's Bruce's voice. He probably just made a funny accent.

[VickyLS93]

[wrathchild28]

[xxoleevexx]

[chewyut]

where can you download this?

[ritchielee666]

right here, get the YouTube downloader.

[borna7]

The always funny Nicko McBrain. The band kept this song a secret from their manager Rod Smallwood until it appeared on the b-side of Wasted Years in the stores. He moved to Los Angeles and complained to the band how he disliked living there so they make fun of him in the lyrics and Nicko pretends he is Rod. Should have been on an album instead in my opinion :-) A very cool song based on "life in the city" by Adrian Smiths Urchin. Rod Smallwood was surprised but had a good laught at it :-)

[zack2703]

they need to re-release all the iron maiden B-Sides on a CD so i can get them on my computer !!

[borna7]

You find "The best of B-sides on a CD enclosed in "Eddies archive" box, but very rare and expensive to buy since fans collect it :-)

[uberclarkey]
