Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:37pm
Caryn:

You know how some guy at a concert always has to go, "Freebird!"? We don't get that here. We get "Play 'Paranoid'!" (Maybe that's another symptom of the higher status of metal music here...) Found out this morning that October is "Play 'Paranoid'!" month this year. I wonder if Irwin would play some version of "Paranoid", if requested? Lou Reed didn't record a version only found on an obscure bootleg, did he?

Droll:

How fascinating:
In Finland, "Paranoid" has the same status as Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird" in the United States as a song the audience finds great humour to request during a concert. So regardless of the band or the style of music they're playing "Soittakaa Paranoid!" ("Play Paranoid!") can usually be heard at least once during any gig.
-- Wikipedia

I believe the Freebird thing in the US dates back to the "Freedom Rock" K-Tel compilation ("Is that Freedom Rock, man?" Yes. "Well, turn it up, man!"). I wonder how the Finnish thing started...

- no one remembers, but there were garage band standards - great songs w/ a few chords that anyone could & would bash out if you'd only just set up instruments w/ some other losers in the garage or basement; 'Paranoid' was one of these - Sabbath had this status of Folk Music - 'Communication Breakdown' by Zep was another...'Smells Like Teen Spirit' came pretty close to this for a few months...

"Freebird" was preceded by "Whippen' Post". Legend has it that some guy was so taken by the call-out of that name in the middle of Gregg introducing said song on the fourth side of the Fillmore album ("Uh, you guessed it!" answers a momentarily flustered Gregg) that he started doing it at every show he attended, until other people started picking up on it. Yelling Whippen' Post became a fad ca. 1973 and continued until supplanted by "Free Bird". I'm told that this is why Zappa covered Whippen' Post -- to shut the cat-callers up.

@Droll & RRN63: you know, there's a comedy series where one episode featured a cop tasked with cleaning riff-raff off the streets because an international delegation came to town. He solved it partly by shooing away all buskers who refused to play "Paranoid". He kept around the one busker who agreed to play it, even though it was unrecognisable. Can't find a subtitled video online, dammit.

In college I had a roommate who listened to a LOT of Grateful Dead, and my favorite part of any of the tapes he collected was a fight between Jerry and a fan who was yelling out "Play Truckin'!" the entire show.

Jerry eventually breaks down and says "What? You gotta be a COP, man?" and some audience member yells out "Why don't YOU play Truckin'", as if that's an actual solution.
Eventually the band breaks into a very fast version of the song.
