Sabbra Cadabra

Sabbra Cadabra

Black Sabbath

“Sabbra Cadabra” is a love song written by bassist Geezer Butler and features a Moog solo by Rick Wakeman of the rock band Yes.

Metallica covered this song with the intro of “A National Acrobat” for their 1998 covers album.

Ozzy originally wrote the lyrics, but Butler later changed them. Producer Tom Allom used phasing effects at the end of the song to hide what we can imagine must have been pretty unacceptable things to say on records back in the 70s.
