The Adicts - Viva La Revolution & Joker in the Pack

My Hero/Mentor/Pal - Capt. Rowdy.

Some trivia about Paranoid:

Amusing stuff about the following song!

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.
The word "paranoid" does not occur in the song lyrics.
"I tell you to enjoy life" is a phrase in the lyrics that is often misheard as "I tell you to end your life".
The song appears in numerous movies and even video games (Rock Band, Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock).
