RadioHead "Idioteque"

[idoik]

what you think bout the radiohead song Idioteque,
the song is very odd but cool and the lyrics are so out there

Women and children first

I'll laugh until my head comes off
I'll swallow till I burst
Until I burst

Who's in a bunker?
Who's in a bunker?
I have seen too much
I haven't seen enough
You haven't seen it
I'll laugh until my head comes off
Women and children first
And children first
And children

Ice age coming

Yeah I totally agree.

I'm a big Radiohead fan. I really like their music, but a lot of it is totally far beyond making any sense.

Not too special imo. Just like most other Radiohead lyrics.

You will notice that if we replace the microphone with a ribbon being broken, Thom Yorke appears to be winning the special olympics.

Makes sense to me. Just seems, as realsurreal says, to be talking about a possible future where we all live underground due to the messed up state of the world. It's this self-created human destruction that we choose to ignore, mainly through making money, and turning our backs on what 'is really happening' until it's too late :).

I love radiohead, and that song is for sure one of their best. And they just started on a new album! Yay!1

[mlk]

They almost finished a new album actually I think, apparently the drummer (or yorke I can't remember) supported a band in london several weeks ago and played one of the songs from the albums... Then again my friend who was there is a permanently semin-stoned art student, so facts could be distorted =)...

Funny enough, people tell me 'Hail to the Thief' is the most depressing album they ever heard but it's one of the only album I own that doesn't get boring even if I listen to it for the hundredth time...

[I am the Noah]

Yeah, Hail to the Thief is my favorite album slightly higher than Kid A. :thumb:

[frost_oni]

i like all their albums; i especially like 'wolf at the door' on the hail to the thief album.
