Talk:Charlotte the Harlot

There are at least two songs with this title that predate Iron Maiden.

The first, to the tune of Sweet Betsy of Pike, was extant at least 60 years ago, and versions of it can be found at http://www.itazuke.org/sillysongs/charlo.html or http://paipai.free.fr/lyrics.php?ID=214 or even http://www.ibiblio.org/bawdy/ballads/charlotte.html, which cites a source dated of 1963; or http://www.welsh-nutter.co.uk/songs/charlotteharlot.html.

The second, to the tune of Tarpaulin Jacket, can also be found in at least two versions - one at http://www.rugbysongs.net/015%20Charlotte%20The%20Harlot%20Lay%20Dying.htm, the other at http://www.immortalia.com/html/records-and-cds/CDs/salty-dick-s-uncensored-sailor-songs/charlotte-the-harlot.htm

Whether the page should be updated to reflect this, or should simply be scrapped as inappropriate to Wikipedia I leave to others. MikeSy 11:32, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Where comes to part that Adrian Smith had problems with the direction of the band with SiT and 7th Son? AFAIK it was exactly the opposite - Smith thought that that was the direction Maiden should evolve, but became unhappy when Harris wanted to take the band "to its roots" with No Prayer for the Dying. --Mikoyan21 11:22, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

I changed the bit about Smith to reflect the views in the official biography that he was unhappy with the change back to more traditional hard rock after the more progressive albums SiT and 7th Son. I don't have the biography here so I can't give a direct reference to pagenumber and such, if anyone does that would be nice. Pegster 11:52, 9 October 2007 (UTC)


 * There was also a Charlotte in the Macc Lads song of the same name. Though she was apparently just 'easy'. The story goes that the band took a quick photo in an underpass and when it was developed noticed graffiti saying "Charlotte is the biggest slag in Macc" in the background. But i don't know if that's actually true. 86.138.25.190 (talk) 20:51, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
