    LYRICS:
    AFRAID TO SHOOT INTO THE EYES OF A STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND
    Fly on your way, fly as high as the sun, wasting love with women in uniform
    Run to the hills, run from your wife, caught somewhere in time into acacia avenue
    Be quick or be a long distance runner
    No prayer for the long distance runner
    The loneliness of the long distance runner to the hills
    Seventh son of the long distance runner
    Afraid, to shoot into the eyes of a stranger
    A stranger in a strange world of a strange land
    Afraid to look to the eyes of a stranger
    The stranger of a stranger in a strange land
    Flash of the Blaze, Aces high, falling down, the evil that the long distance runner do
    Running free, live to fly, fly to live, fly to fly, do or diet or be a long distance runner
    Children of Charlotte the harlot
    The number of Charlotte the harlot
    Fear of the virus of Charlotte the harlot
    The virus of the ancient Mariner
    Can I play with Charlotte the harlot
    Hallowed Be thy Charlotte the harlot
    You'll take my virus but I'll take yours too
    Only the long distance runner die young

    So the references I could catch in chronological order:
    1 Afraid to Shoot Strangers
    2 Stranger in a strange land
    3 Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
    4 Flight of the Icarus
    5 Wasting Love
    6 Women in Uniform
    7 Run to the hills
    8 Caught somewhere in time
    9 22 Acacia Avenue
    10 Be quick or be dead
    11 Loneliness of a long distance runner
    12 No prayer for dying
    13 Seventh son of the seven son
    14 Flash of the blade
    15 Aces high
    16 The evil that man do
    17 Running free
    18 Children of the damned
    19 Charlotte the harlot
    20 The number of the beast
    21 Fear of the dark
    22 Virus
    23 The rime of the ancient mariner
    24 Can I play with madness?
    25 Hallowed be thy name
    26 The trooper
    27 Only the good die young

    That is roughly 15 percent of the Iron Maiden's whole discography 😳

    Ive tried to dysect the lyrics to find all the Maiden references in the songtext. To flesh out the answers I used ai.
    Here are all the references I found:
    1. Afraid to Shoot Strangers: A track from the album "Fear of the Dark" (1992), dealing with the fear and confusion of soldiers in battle.
    2. Stranger in a Strange Land: A single from the album "Somewhere in Time" (1986), about an Arctic explorer who dies and is found frozen years later.
    3. Flight of Icarus: This seems to be alluded to with the line "Fly as high as the sun," referencing the Greek myth of Icarus and Daedalus, paralleled in the Iron Maiden song from the album "Piece of Mind" (1983).
    4. Wasting Love: A track from "Fear of the Dark" (1992), discussing the emptiness of one-night stands.
    5. Women in Uniform: A non-album single released in 1980, covering the song originally by Skyhooks.
    6. Run to the Hills: One of Iron Maiden's most famous songs, from "The Number of the Beast" (1982), depicting the conflict between Native Americans and European settlers.
    7. Caught Somewhere in Time: The opening track from "Somewhere in Time" (1986), dealing with themes of time travel.
    8.Acacia Avenue: Likely referring to "22 Acacia Avenue," a song from "The Number of the Beast" (1982), about the life of a prostitute.
    9.The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner: A track from "Somewhere in Time" (1986), inspired by the short story of the same name.
    10. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son: The title track of the album "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" (1988), dealing with a mythical child with clairvoyant powers.
    11.The Number of the Beast: Title track of the album "The Number of the Beast" (1982), inspired by a nightmare of bassist Steve Harris, dealing with the theme of hell and damnation.
    12. Flash of the Blade: A song from the album "Powerslave" (1984), about a young swordsman seeking vengeance.
    13. Aces High: The opening track of "Powerslave" (1984), depicting a British RAF pilot fighting during the Battle of Britain in WWII.
    14. Running Free: The band's debut single from their self-titled album (1980), about a young man's adventures on the streets.
    15. Live to Fly: Likely a misquote or blending of "Aces High" lyrics, pertaining to the theme of flying and freedom.
    16. Children of the Damned: A track from "The Number of the Beast" (1982), inspired by the films "Village of the Damned" and "Children of the Damned."
    17. Charlotte the Harlot: A song from the debut album "Iron Maiden" (1980), about a prostitute. This character is revisited in "22 Acacia Avenue."
    18. Fear of the Dark: The title track of the album "Fear of the Dark" (1992), dealing with the universal fear of darkness and what lies within it.
    19. Rime of the Ancient Mariner: A lengthy track from "Powerslave" (1984), based on the poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge about a cursed sailor's tale.
    20. Can I Play with Madness: From the album "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" (1988), dealing with a young man's confrontation with a prophet.
    21. Hallowed Be Thy Name: A song from "The Number of the Beast" (1982), contemplating a man's thoughts just before his execution.
    Edit 1: Yes, the commenters below are correct, I used ai. I used ai to fill in the gaps, after writing down the titles I knew.

    It works. Just listening to the music, I could be fooled into thinking this was Iron Maiden and then stand around increasingly weirded out by my inability to pin down which number I was listening to. Pretty well, done because that playing style is taxing to say the least but you nail it. Watching the vid, I realize the lyrics are as if Dickinson forgot to put on his oxygenmask flying to his next gig. Seems like it's basically as many maiden-lines as possible crammed into the verses and never mind if it makes any sense. But the cartoons are awesome! I don't know how many nights I've been sitting listening to Maiden while drawing Eddie from the album covers. It puts me right back in that mellow late-night mood.
    Overall a great and suitably weird homage to a bunch of essentially very weird characters having formed this awesome band👍
