Black Sabbath - Weevil Woman '71 (1971)

Black Sabbath - Weevil woman '71 - YouTube

Fairies Wear Boots (in post number 36) is a brilliant song.

Tony Iommi has stated that the song title comes from when "Geezer and Ozzy were smoking cannabis outside and witnessed fairies in the park, running around wearing boots. As far as Tony knows, it didn't come from an attack from skinheads."

Afterwards, they wrote the lyrics to "Fairies Wear Boots". Geezer Butler states in the documentary film "Classic Albums: Black Sabbath's Paranoid" that the music which became the song was indeed inspired by an encounter with skinheads, who the band members then derogatorily referred to as "fairies" for the song. The song contains an instrumental intro entitled "Jack the Stripper."

Back in 1970, when the song was released, skinheads were a new phenonomenon, originating among working class youths in 1960s London, being influenced by British Jamaican rude boys and by mods.

Pick out of a hat of classic rock artists.

I'm sure there's something in there for everyone.
