"War Pigs", Black Sabbath, Paranoid (1970)

Well done!

I bet you’re not one of the little-willies who thumbed it down...?

Black Sabbath ‘War Pigs’ excellent song and your adaptations not bad either 👍

Thanks Kev, I thought it a topically humorous dittyfied version of the original, but it seems it’s content is too near to the truth for some 😁

1. I'm not one of the 'little-willies', no. I'm one of the 'no-willies'.

2. No, I didn't thumb it down.

3. If there is one thing I know in this wide world, it's music.

It is weird how many thumbs down a witty aside in a fun music quiz can attract. Might be something to do with it being about a month since the forums bans were handed out 🤷🏻‍♂️

Believe it or not neither Kev nor myself were trying to.

Edit, as I said before (which also attracted a rash of thumbing down) these little mini quizzes are a neat idea, well done. I don’t want to derail them but the best threads are always added to in the right way by a variety of nuances and side thought.
