I could be wrong, but I think John Melencamps Authority Song is about that.

Came here to write this.
Aren't most songs from the 90s? You know when hard rock bands stopped writing cliched, repetitive songs about rockin' and banging groupies and instead wrote cliched repetitive songs about religious figures and child abuse?

Did Iron Maiden ever sing about groupies? Did they have them?

Maiden may not have sung about groupies, that was more Poison or Motörhead, but they certainly had them in the 80s. DiAnno and Clive Burr of course but also the others before discovering golf, tennis and fishing
.
They've been quiet about it but some stories have leaked about the US NotB tour and the start of the Powerslave tour in Poland and Hungary....

Bring your Daughter to the Slaughter is about groupies. Or at least about fucking sluts.
But that's really a Dickinson solo song that was repurposed for Maiden. Im surprised Harris' boring ass wanted to use it.

Rush used to smoke dope. Maiden were more into getting drunk.
