About this song
Yorke described the seventh track as a slave ship tune with a freeform jazz nightmare break, and said it is not to be taken seriously. The song features ill-timed, zombie-like handclaps. It is tied with "True Love Waits" as the saddest Radiohead song, according to a statistical claim.
What it's about
The song satirises Hollywood culture and its constant desire to stay young and fleece people, sucking their energy.
Fun facts
- Written by Colin Greenwood, Philip Selway, Jonny Greenwood, Ed O’Brien and Thom Yorke.
- Produced by Radiohead and Nigel Godrich.
