Not many know this but that song was just a filler...like they wrote the song in a hour.

Its still a great song...though the music video scares me even more on HD DVD.

 

+1,

 

Some trivia about Paranoid:

 

*It was Black Sabbath's first single.

*The song that was to become their biggest hit was written as a

filler for the album. It is supposedly written in 10 minutes.

Tommy Iommi found the riff while the other members of the band

were having lunch. The lyrics were not written by Ozzy Osbourne,

but by bass player (Geezer Butler).

*The intro riff comes from Led Zeppelin's song Dazed and

Confused. Led Zeppelin was a great influence for Black Sabbath.

*It was played at the Queen's jubilee by Ozzy Osbourne. The Queen

of England requested it.

*"I tell you to enjoy life" is a phrase in the lyrics that is

often misheard as "I tell you to end your life".

That's hilarious! I know more than a few guys who considered themselves shredders' date=' who worked on learning that song for WEEKS and couldn't nail it. The kind of guys who stand there and count measures... [blink
