20 Songs Everyone Knows That Didn’t Hit The Top 40!

From: NewNowNext

“Iron Man”
Black Sabbath

With one of the most famous riffs in rock music history, “Iron Man” is the simple tale of “A man who time travels into the future, and sees the apocalypse. In the process of returning to the present, he is turned into steel by a magnetic field. He is rendered mute, unable verbally to warn people of his time in the future and of the impending destruction. His attempts to communicate are ignored and mocked. This causes Iron Man to become angry, and drives his revenge on mankind, causing the destruction seen in his vision.”

Black Sabbath took “Iron Man” to #52 in 1972, but its place as an iconic heavy metal classic has long been secured. Of course, in recent years its popularity has swelled even further because of the Marvel films, which have nothing to do with the song (which had nothing to do with the original comic book character), except that sometimes it does.

“Unlike the 1972 song “Iron Man” by Icarus, Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” bears no connection to the Marvel Comics superhero character Iron Man, which was created and first appeared in Tales of Suspense #39, March 1963, seven years prior to the song’s publication. The song has since become associated with the character by fans of both; the popular 2008 film Iron Man, based on the comic books, features an instrumental rendition of “Iron Man” during the credits. The film’s novelization goes on to also state that the song is Tony Stark’s favorite, hence why he picked the title to baptize his superhero alter-ego. In the 2012 film The Avengers, set in the same continuity as the Iron Man films, Tony Stark is seen wearing a Black Sabbath shirt when not in the Iron Man armor, as a tribute to the band and song.”
