Legendary you say? Relatively unknown outside of Germany (and other German speaking countries) you say?
Let me introduce you to Dschinghis Khan by Dschingis Khan
(99 Luftballons, which was mentioned here before, is arguably the bigger hit that really everyone knows. But I couldn't resist throwing this out there. It was a huge hit and is still known.)
Oh, the first one is a legendary classic. Finland has got the "do direct covers of all the German hits from the 70's" - scene well covered:

That also is true for Germany. There's for example a song using Black Sabbaths Paranoid melodies with some German lyrics about the Hound of Baskerville https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MwnFX0_H-rA
This is without a doubt the best cover version of "Paranoid" I have ever heard.
