Thom wrote and sang this song at home using his four track, but when
he took it to the band as raw material they decided that it should
stay as it was. Ed and Phil said that it "blew them away". The version
on the B-side to "No Surprises" is, therefore, the original four-track
recording. While Thom was creating the song, his girlfriend, Rachel,
was in the kitchen putting away the groceries or making supper, and
the noises she made can be heard in the background. As for the song's
meaning, it has never been disclosed by the band, and the lyrics are
almost unintelligible. Since Radiohead has achieved success by putting
out records tha make people question what Thom is saying and what
he really means, the title couldn't be more suitable. |
