It seems shocking to me that Maiden doesn't have a Babylon song, except for that single line in Alexander the Great.

I thought the same thing about Iced Earth.

EDIT: Except the the album Plagues of Babylon. DERP!!

Backyard Babies do a good cover of the Faster P*ssycat song, though they change the lyrics to make it slightly more raunchy.

The Faster P*ssycat song was the first one that came to mind.
