"Paralyzed" kicks off State of Shock, the fifth solo album Ted Nugent put out on Epic in May 1979, and it's the track from that record people still reach for first. Nugent wrote it, words and music, and Cliff Davies and Lew Futterman produced. He played it live on the TV show Fridays in 1980, and a year later it landed on the best-of Great Gonzos! The Best of Ted Nugent.
The album closed out a decade in which Nugent rode his hard-rocking wild-man act all the way up the charts. State of Shock made the US top 20 and went gold in a hurry, but it was also his first solo album that never went platinum.
