Yeah, sorry, I wasn't talking about the particular song you posted. Just in general - no profanity.
I think heavy metal groups like Black Sabbath were very demonic. I remember one old album of theirs when I was in high school that had a virgin being sacrificed on the altar. Ugh! I hated all that kind of music.
Oh, don't even get me started about human sacrifice!

Yes, and I believe that was post-Ozzy Sabbath, which I don't care for and couldn't sing if I tried anyway. But Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. I think he probably had much more to do with "Heaven's Just a Sin Away" than "Paranoid". Most Heavy Metal musicians were just "posers" as far as their "demonic" connections go. Ozzy Osbourne told a story in an interview that he and the rest of Black Sabbath went to see The Exorcist when it was released in 1973. When they got back to the hotel, all four of these members of the most evil, scariest band on the planet all huddled together in one hotel room, scared out of their wits! And that was just Hollywood's version of real demonic power. I don't think they could handle an encounter with the real thing.

And I have redeemed Led Zeppelin's Rock and Roll as well. A good friend of mine has rewritten:
Joe Walsh-Rocky Mountain Way=Livin' the Jesus Way
Billy Ray Cyrus-Achy Breaky Heart=Let Jesus in Your Heart
Hank Williams Jr.-Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound=Holy Ghost Filled and Heaven Bound
When Amazing Grace just isn't good enough, crank up the old achy breaky christianity to get the "spirit" movin'.

I heard/read about a church actually using this song in service.
