There are only a few performers who attempt to break new ground in the hegemony of German pop music. One attempt that remains unique to this day, beyond the realm of scene and underground music, comes from the duo Cindy & Bert: they covered Paranoid shortly after its release. In 1971, their German-language version was released under the title Der Hund von Baskerville. This may ring a bell with some readers, as the married couple Jutta and Norbert Berger from Völklingen in Saarland were one of the most successful acts of the 1970s. As Cindy & Bert, they sold over 10 million records, their biggest hit being Immer wieder sonntags (Always on Sundays) from 1973. They represent the pleasant pop songs of the post-Wirschaftswunder era and are a feel-good place for the middle-class folks next door who like to whistle a tune while working in the garden.

OMG, that's absolutely hilarious. I thought I've seen pretty much everything when it comes to Black Sabbath covers but this one is beyond weird.

And I’m pretty sure they were absolutely serious. Which makes it even better.
