This song was made becuase Sabbath's manager working with them on the "Paranoid" album told them they had three or four more minutes to complete the album. Then, Tony Iommi began to play the guitar riffs to "Paranoid" and Ozzy began sing the lyrics. Once everything fell into place, "Paranoid was born." The song is called "Paranoid" because Terence "Geezer" Butler was called paranoid even though he didn't know what the word meant. A quick song that became a classic. I fuckin love it!
