The song was originally recorded and released by Bruce Dickinson for the soundtrack to A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child,[4][5] but Steve Harris liked it so Iron Maiden rerecorded it.[6] It is the only UK number-one single for the band to date,[7] in spite of the fact that it received very little airplay on the BBC. The song also topped the Finnish Singles Chart and reached number six in Ireland.
