More on Paranoid Android
Description from Wikipedia:
"Paranoid Android" is a song by English alternative rock band Radiohead, released as the first single from their 1997 album OK Computer. The bleak but intentionally humorous song was primarily written by singer Thom Yorke in response to an unpleasant experience in a Los Angeles bar.
"Paranoid Android" is over six minutes long and consists of four distinct sections. Named after Marvin the Paranoid Android from Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, the song is significantly influenced by The Beatles' "Happiness Is a Warm Gun" and Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody".
"Paranoid Android" charted at number three on the UK Singles Chart. The song was critically acclaimed; it was highlighted in many reviews of OK Computer. It has appeared regularly on lists of the best songs of all time, including Rolling Stones 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The song's animated music video received high rotation on MTV, though the network censored portions containing nudity. Cover versions of the song have been recorded by notable artists from a wide range of musical genres, including Brad Mehldau, Easy Star All-Stars and Christopher O'Riley.
