"Rat Salad" is a two-and-a-half minute instrumental by Black Sabbath, from their 1970 album Paranoid. The song is structured similarly to Led Zeppelin's "Moby Dick" or Cream's "Toad" in that the most prominent feature is a drum solo by Bill Ward, bookended by guitar riffs by Tony Iommi.
Van Halen considered adopting the name "Rat Salad" early on in their career, until then-lead singer David Lee Roth suggested simply using "Van Halen."[citation needed]
The song features on the B-side on the Paranoid single.
