“Maniac” wasn’t supposed to be a song about a Steeltown girl on a Saturday night. Instead, it was supposed to be a song about a vicious pet murderer. Sembello and his songwriting partner Dennis Matkosky wrote “Maniac” after seeing a slasher flick — possibly Maniac , possibly The Texas Chain Saw Massacre . The song’s original chorus: “He’s a maniac, maniac, that’s for sure/ He will kill your cat and nail him to the door.” (I would like to hear that version, but sadly, the demo has been lost to history.)
