"TV Crimes" is a song by British rock band Black Sabbath from their 1992 album Dehumanizer. The single was the band's last to chart in the UK. The song's lyrics deal with scandals involving televangelists in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Music video
The music video, directed by Nigel Dick, was shot in Los Angeles. It features the band performing on a television that has been stolen. According to Geezer Butler in an interview featured on Hangin' with Heaven and Hell, the video was shot prior to the Los Angeles riots of 1992. Butler has also commented that the video has nothing at all to do with the lyrics of the song and "makes no sense".
