"Paranoid" by Heartsick Heroine

 


Minneapolis, Minnesota band Heartsick Heroine cover "Paranoid," the 1970 metal masterpiece from London, UK group Black Sabbath, fronted by the man, the myth, the undeniable rabies risk Ozzy Osbourne.

Less than three weeks before his passing last month, Ozzy threw one last hurrah in his hometown of Birmingham.

The "Back to the Beginning" event was the highest grossing charity concert of all time.

Beneficiaries include mental health and musical education initiatives across the UK.

Which is so very, very metal.

For another Black Sabbath cover, the Cardigans' version of "Iron Man" can be found here.

For Ozzy covers, The Barefoot Movement's version of "Crazy Train" can be found here, and Lily Holbrook's version of "Mama, I'm Coming Home" can be found here.

"Iron Man" by The Cardigans

 


Boop boop be doop, doob be doop, doobie doop!

Jonkoping, Sweden indie rock band (and first band on the moon!  Says so on their album cover!) The Cardigans take the 1971 heavy metal song "Iron Man" from Birmingham, UK band Black Sabbath, and convert it into a jazzy trip-hop number.

The song is either about a time travelling man who unsuccessfully tries to warn humanity of its impending demise, or about Robert Downey, Jr.
