Not the first name that springs to mind when one thinks of green fairies!

The Cottingley Fairies photos were taken in 1917 by two cousins aged 16 and nine. The series of five photos, showing the girls interacting with fairies, were seen by "Sherlock Holmes" author, Conan Doyle who pronounced them clear evidence of psychic phenomena.

Answer: Boots

We started the interesting info with Ozzy in question one, and we end with him and surely one of the best Ozzy quotes ever. "Fairies Wear Boots" was on Black Sabbath's mega selling 1970 album "Paranoid". Bass player Geezer Butler has said the song is about a fight with a gang of skinheads, however Ozzy said in his "I Am Ozzy" autobiography, that he has no idea what the song is about, but everybody tells him that he wrote the lyrics. Country rock band Blackberry Smoke often do a great version of this song in their live shows.
