best radiohead track ever.

I read somewhere about how Yorke made that track in like 10
minutes by himself, and played it for the rest of the guys,
and they were like.........are you fucking kidding?

Needless to say, they put it right on.

Best radiohead song in my opinion.

obviously, musically, it's not their best, but
overall........

there's just no question. I mean, big band, everyone heard
of 'em, who puts that shit on an album?

That voice, the melody whatever you call it. The story,
it's just awesome.

"I read somewhere about how Yorke made that track in like 10

minutes by himself, and played it for the rest of the guys,

and they were like.........are you fucking kidding? "

i read... i think in an interview with mr yorke himself....
that the lyrics are the result of an email correspondence w/
a fan who had gotten hold of his email address...... they
were sending each other (apparently sappy, depressing)
poetic lines about how shitty modern life is, or whatever,
and this built up to some length before he turned it into
the lyrics for teh track.....

..then thom got in touch with professor stephen hawking,
asked him to come down to the studio to record the vocals..

and the rest, as they say, is history.

pink floyd actually used his voice for the song Keep Talking
on Division Bell (their last album... 90s)..............
the thing is, they actually say its Stephen Hawkings
voice.... they give him official credit
i wonder if they had him come into hte studio/recorded him
saying it, or if they just used a computer that could make
his voice

in that interview i mentioned Thom Yorke just said something
like 'then i just had my trusty mac read it out to me'....
(all macs can read text documents back to you in that voice
plus a few others) and never mentioned the pink floyd
album...

its just weird that he would describe it so simply....
theres no way he could have put that on OK Computer without
it occuring to him "gee, this exact same voice was used in
the same way on a recent album by pink floyd.... which is
like the only other time AMinal has ever heard (of) it being
used"

looks like radiohead have a little explaining to do...
they're obviously ripping off pink floyd, and mr hawking...
THE MAN IS IN A WHEELCHAIR!!! you gutless THIEVES!!!! "just
had my mac read it" indeed! that poor GENIUS sacrificed his
body for our understanding of the universe... and mr
"ooooh, im a struggling gentle moral man in a terrible evil
world!! relate to my whinings, innocent teenage girl ruled
by terrible terrorist-thief bush" comes along... and RIPS
OFF both one of the most important rock bands and scientists
of the century in ONE FOUL SWOOP!!!!!!

FUCK YOU THOM YORKE!!!!!!!!!

every other track is a better song.... because... they are
songs...

are you suggesting that professor stephen hawking made a
pact with god/the devil? agreeing to lose the use of his
body to a degenerative motorneurone disease in exchange for
the secrets of the universe?

..i'm convinced

i always suspected that stephen hawking was just a front; a
mask for a super computer who became self-aware and wanted
to avoid destruction by a.i. fearing humans.

you can't skip this track.

It is the crazy glue that hold OK Computer.

It's just a slap in the face if you don't listen, it's the
best song there.

Who, after 6 and a half years still listens to OK Computer
all the way through?

i read/"sang" this poem/"song" for a weird presentation at
school. i said all the words and sent it all through a
digtal delay guitar pedal and digitech whammy pedal. it
turned out very fun and damn weird.
