The riff might be an inspiration for the 1979 song “My Sharona” by The Knack. The song is about how the narrator stumbled upon his woman cheating with another man. He then kills them with a gun from the dressing table.
[Verse 1]
I got home late this evening, stumbled up the stair
I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked in the bedroom there
My woman with a man was lying fast asleep
I felt a rage inside me, control I couldn't keep
[Chorus 1]
She was a cheater
[Verse 2]
I reached the dressing table, kicked away the door
I gripped the cold black metal, a loaded .44
By this time they're awake and they don't know what to do
I scream you cheating bitch here's what I think of you
[Chorus 2]
You are a cheater
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
They both pleaded for mercy, I said no way
When you do this upon me, you have no say
I treated you so real good, and this is what you do
Oh no I've finished with you, your time is through
[Chorus 2]
You are a cheater
[Verse 4]
If you need a cheater there's nobody sweeter than this one
There's no neater, come on here and meet her
Cheater, cheater, cheater, come on and meet her...
Cheater was written by Rob Halford & K.K. Downing.
