So dancing to it as though it were a Tom Jones song was the only way they knew how to react to it. Needless to say, Sabbath couldn't not have been further from what they'd been accustomed to up to that point.

They look SO out of place on stage in that setting. Ozzy was scared shitless about being on TV. And he thought the dancing kids were a bunch of idiots, because it wasn't music meant to be danced to.

Its nice to see Tony smiling and enjoying himself. Top of the Pops was a big milestone for any band, and I'm sure he was tickled all to hell that the band had made it to that level.
