Black Sabbath's, "Am I Going Insane"
The Lyrics:
So I'm telling all you people, listen while I sing again
If I don't sound very cheerful, I think that I'm a schizophren
If I don't sound very cheerful, I think that I'm a schizophren
Why:
It's got a pretty up tempo beat for a Sabbath song. At the end of the song, there are a number of laughing voices in the background. On the version that appears on "We Sold our Soul for Rock 'n' Roll", this is where it ends. But on the original from "Sabotage", it takes a dark turn for the worse when the laughing voices fade out and all you hear is someone screaming and eventually having a breakdown.
