Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid” covered by children’s Orff Rock Band in Portugal

There has been no shortage of “Paranoid” covers throughout the years but no one has transformed the Black Sabbath staple quite like these creative youngsters. Meet the Orff rock band made up of a group of ambitious students in Portugal.

The music club kids infuse the classic tune with unexpected instrument choices like xylophones, recorders, flutes and metallophones creating their own unique take on the song. There’s something truly endearing about seeing the students join forces to sing out the chorus of the song as clips of their classmates playing the instrumental parts are intertwined throughout the video.

Let’s raise our horns to this teacher for encouraging a whole new generation of metal enthusiasts!
