Black Sabbath - Electric Funeral

"Electric Funeral" was the fifth song off of Black Sabbath's second album Paranoid, released in 1970. The song deals with nuclear war and its aftermath. While thematically similar to War Pigs, the song lyrics are even darker, a fact complemented by an eerie main riff.

It is one of the more obscure songs from the Paranoid album, but also a fan favorite. The band even played the song on their reunion concert in 1997. The song was covered by Pantera on the second Nativity in Black 'Sabbath tribute album, as well as by power metal band Iced Earth on their "Melancholy EP". Beavis and Butt-head also do an air guitar imitation of the song riff in one of their episodes.
