One of my favorite Sabbath songs...not sure how unusual this mix is

One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.
Haquin

First Aid Kid - War Pigs

Ulver - "Solitude"

Love the Cardigans and knows their flirtations with Black Sabbath, its pure linnon quality

I have been listening to and enjoying some unusual covers of Sabbath songs and am looking for more suggestions.

Here are some of the ones that I have found.

1. Jazz Sabbath - Fairies Wear Boots
This is Adam Wakeman with a fictitious 60s group that had originally written songs stolen by Black Sabbath songs. There was a 30 minute mockumentary about this.

2. Hellsongs - Paranoid
Swedish band that does 'metal lounge' covers of heavy metal songs.

3. Ruthie Foster - War Pigs
Blues version of the Sabbath classic with some nice slide guitar. This song is well covered in all sorts of versions.

4. Rondellus - The Wizard (Magus)
Estonian group released a full album of medieval versions with lyrics translated into Latin.

5. Planet of Zeus - Behind the Wall of Sleep
So this is Greek band doing a Southern Rock version of Sabbath song. Works for me.

6. Cindy & Bert - Der Hund Von Baskerville
I am not sure what to make of this one. It's a sort of psychedelic cover of Paranoid with all new lyrics in German based on the Hound of Baskervilles (Sherlick Holmes) I think. This one is just weird even for me.

If you have favorite unusual Sabbath covers, please share.

	Apocalyptica - Spiral Architect
	...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

	This jazzy cover version is so "out there" that it's barely recognisable.... Robyn Adele Anderson - Paranoid

	Great topic! My own band, Casual Crowbar (RIP) did a comedic version of "Paranoid" when we did our "Spinal Tap" art project....we were a satire band of a satire band, sort of a Mobius strip of bad! Here's one of my favorite Sabbath copies, Dee Snider does a great RJD imitation! Edited by cstack3 - September 04 2021 at 21:55
