The astonishing claims about the Birmingham-born Black Sabbath icon, who died last year, were made by American heavy metal star Dee Snider, of Twisted Sister.

In a post on X, he claimed Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler penned all of the band's lyrics.

He also claimed Ozzy's first two solo albums featured lyrics written by Bob Daisley, and that the No More Tears album had contributions from Lemmy Kilmister.

Snider also suggested that Sharon Osbourne "doesn't like to share" while discussing the legacy of Ozzy's music, but aded that while many artisits don't write their own material they can still make songs their own.

10,000 miles and an ocean between us Get me to your shore, so I can receive this If I’m gonna worry, I’m gonna worry with you.

Middle of the night, dark thoughts are whirling Crossing off the days til you are returning If I’m gonna worry, I’m gonna worry with you

Oh, I’m on the other side picking up speed Let go of shame and lies I don’t need If I’m gonna fuck up, I’m gonna fuck up with you

Let’s get lost baby
And take a wrong turn That’s the life, that’s the life We never ever wanna get burned.

I had thought, there was no place for what I feel Then I learned, you are the place for what I feel

Come at me with all of your swagger The strength of you is what I’ve been after If I’m gonna mess up, I’m gonna mess up with you

Oh, I figured that love that takes you further This heart was ready for the life preserver If I’m gonna worry, I’m gonna worry with you

From ‘Vida Blue’.

not that I NEED the lyrics, I know them by heart, but I just have a desire for subtitles on everything because maybe something is wrong with me

I wanted to explore this, it seems like it mostly happens in classic rock. I like it because it's like the group delivering a thesis statement for the content of their music or their intended commercial trajectory.

I think it works even better when it's done by a band later into their career, like they're reflecting on the culmination of their work. Can people link me examples? I'd love to see if this has happened more outside of the rock genre

IT WAS AWESOOOOME

One of my all-time favourite video clips. Not-Jeff Goldblum's (psychologist) deadpan "It's very engaging. I'm enjoying this song a lot." gets me every time.
