Black Sabbath, "Iron Man"

[CATEGORY: Music]] '''Black Sabbath. "Iron Man."' From the album Paranoid'', 1971. Available Wea/Warner, 1987.

Possibly a musical variation on T. Hughes's The Iron Man (1968 [q.v. under Fiction]), with touches of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818/1831) or the FRANKENSTEIN of James Whale (1931). In any case—in David J. Clark's summary, "a robot seeks revenge upon his creators, i.e., humankind."
