Radiohead - Killer Cars!

[AFrenchRadioheadFan]

@rodssslive

Yes, and a lot of Radiohead's songs are underrated. And some are highly overrated, too... Anyway, I think Thom must make (or have made) very, very, very bad nightmares about evil cars (just listen to Airbag, Killer Cars and Stupid Car, it's just how it sounds).

[MassacSWE]

Where can i get a CD with this brilliant song!?

[MassacSWE]

@MassacSWE Never mind i found it. :´D

[irascib1e]

wow, i'm not too much of a radiohead fan, but i just discovered this song and it's amazing :O

[MrNickMMM]

11 people got killed by cars :D

[captainreagar]

This really reminds me of something Oasis might have done

[paranoidroid1]

I covered this song and want to know the opinion of fellow radiohead fans. check out my channel. hopefully its not completely butchered. radiohead has epic b-sides :)

[SuperGeorgievi]

Am i the only one that read the title as 'Killer cats' instead 'Killer Cars'

[MeowShitfuck]

Thom Yorke is sexy :D

[nicehuhu]

安全運転で行きましょう。

[jack15877]

love it

[antisadism]

Thom must have some kind of phobia of cars "Killer cars, Airbag"

[facu112]

@antisadism When he was young, has a traumatic experience with cars, that its the reason

[ikedi67]

@antisadism thom was involved in a car crash, so songs like killer cars and airbag are thus related to his accident.

[LOOZR182]

this song makes me wanna dance for some reason

[g17net]

dedicated to a "fast and furious" wannabes...

[Ajapam34]

Damn this band ranges from just plain alternative rock to experimental electronic, and they do both exceptionally well. cool

[DLudvickson]

Awesome Video... great editing.

[splinter360]

Radiohead. THE great british band.

[Psych0Activist]

Something is very wrong with 10 people...

[TaThZuRy2003]

no inventes esta cancion no es muy conocida pero es de las mejores viva el lado b de the bends

[Mrbuto1]

better than acoustic

[fbombdog99]

Radiohead's b sides are their best

[bloodsugar55]

acoustic is better

[634devil]

Driving sucks!

[SuperGarcia]

Eventhough it's not one of RH's top 'hits', it's one of their best.

[alltoohuman17]

Trivia:

1.This song is about Thom's driving phobia.

2. Thom now drives a Fiat Punto.

[rambadibow]

This video actually looks like something Radiohead would produce

[MIKEDURSTEWITZ]

I got here from Boards of Canada :D Thanks, nonameno5! I love Radiohead and BoC. Great videos.

[420happyhippy]

this song isn't popular because it lacks. i pity the fool who considers this "underrated".

[etejuanete3]

@420happyhippy

UNDERRATED.

this song is simple but pretty good. is not about the most wonderful topic in the world, maby that's why it isn't as famous as fake plastic trees. and maybe that's why you hate it. but still, is awesome.

PS: UNDERRATED

[thehungryduck]

@etejuanete3 It's a good song because even Radiohead's bad songs are better than 90 percent of all other music in general.

[cheesecakedeath]

havent heard that version will have to check it out

[cheesecakedeath]

oooh i especially like the little toy cars

[cheesecakedeath]

i love this song! the video is pretty cool too

[testing88534]

I have this song on a cd and I will play this song with a friend someday while driving my car and freak them out by speeding up. LOL, rather demented joke.

[MrMbie]

my fav.....

[AllphrncMetactzn]

great video/audio

[jackofalltrades156]

It's more like unknown instead of underrated i think.

[jinxnco]

i love you radiohead

[seapockets]

they put on a magnificent live show thats for sure

[monkimatsu]

actually this is one of the best i think

[cassiusitsover]

What album is this from?

[Ovantril]

it is From the Bends

[axoamoxoa]

it's not from The Bends, it's a B-side

[erikwtrstn]

nice tune. very underrated indeed.

[rodssslive]

this song is so underrated

[PhycoKen]

I prefer the mogadon version

[bedcrumbsmusic]

A good song from Radiohead but the chorus is a complete rip-off from Stevie Wonder's Misstra Know It All. I'm pleased that they left this off The Bends album- it is too poppy for inclusion on that album and is better as a great B-Side than a fair album track. Nice video by the way.

[bedcrumbsmusic]

It doesn't sound all that similar? Erm, okay then. I suggest you go and listen to Misstra Know It All in its entirety and then come back and tell me that the chorus doesn't sound like a rip-off.

[bedcrumbsmusic]

You obviously don't know your arse from your elbow. I think this is a fantastic song- the chorus sounds exactly like Misstra Know It All though. That is fact.

[bedcrumbsmusic]

I agree- maybe I was a bit harsh to call it a complete rip-off (point taken there) but it is very similar. For the RishiGirl to say that it doesn't sound all that similar at all though is ridiculous. Next she'll be saying that the intro to Karma Police wasn't lifted from Sexy Sadie. I love Radiohead and there is nothing wrong with a melody sounding similar to something that has gone before- even The Beatles had songs that sounded like other songs.

[bedcrumbsmusic]

You're a common little cow, as shown with your last comment. Away with you you mouthy little tart.

[squashedheads]

Get over yourself RishiGirl. Bedcrumbsmusic was simply stating that the song sounds very similar to the Stevie Wonder track in places. You threw the first stone by telling him to piss off by the looks of it on here. Grow up a little.

[vega2025]

i agree with what you said. radiohead ripping off stivie wonder does not compute. don't get so hung up about this though. youtube is full of douchebags, what else is new.

[squashedheads]

Shame on you for using "Does not compute". Tut tut.

[vega2025]

i like the phrase "does not compute". what's wrong with it? i think it's quite alright. english is my third language though so i don't know...we can discuss this in russian or polish if you expect perfect language skills from me.

[squashedheads]

No. English will suffice. Let me just say this... I hope you can understand... you are a twat!

[cassiusitsover]

@TheRishGirl and squashedheads

please guys.. just enjoy the song and respect each others opinions without being aggressive or negative. There's enough shit in the world, please don't spread it to peoples source of peace.

[cassiusitsover]

why the fuck did i get thumbs down?

[bluespaceships00]

its also on the mixed addition of pablo honey the one with all the eps

[davestheman83]

there's also another version of "killer cars" on the just single.

[twilightbringer]

Since I'm here and on topic, it's a crying shame that this song didn't make it to the The Bends original tracklist in the first place: it is such a great song (but then, so are all the songs from My Iron Lung EP...sigh~)

[saliou78]

Great song...

[EBCobain]

It's a live version?

I only had listenned the acoustic version, I really love this one!

[davestheman83]

It's on the "Itch" ep. It's an import so it's hard to find. Came out in like 1994 or something.

[twilightbringer]

It's also on the Japanese/International version of the The Bends album as extra tracks, along with the song "How Can You Be Sure".

Why the Japanese version have 2 extra tracks you ask? Beats me, I don't make them rules.

[apartment906]

...what if there's someone overtaking?

[ManfredMitchum]

Which album/ep/single is this version from?

[kaplahhhhh]

proper radiohead fan right there

[kaplahhhhh]

dude that is a savage video nailed it 5* easy

[rockgary02]

They won't ever take me alive, cause they all drive

killer cars killer cars killer cars

[gogolplex74]

this is even better than talk show host!

[Rorylovesberries]

I love that they make songs like this (fun and a bit cheesy) and their newer stuff as well.  you can never tell where they're going

[Themoreruler]

WTF?? this sound like a mediocre american band

[testing88534]

I have this song on one of my burned Cds and I plan to listen to this song on the way to college via the highway. (:

[justrescueme]

I had his song stuck in my head while I was driving in our car.

I sung it out loud and half an hour later our car had to be rescued by a tow. :P

I hate irony.

This song is so cool though. :D

[Armistice0]

Bro, it's called the Law of Attraction. Please be careful and pay attention to your thoughts!!!

[davidson15489]

Is this Radiohead playing? Because I've only heard the acoustic version and this sounds a little different from their style.

[Scott17quebec]

No, that's Radiohead. I don't think it sounds that different

[Armistice0]

Yeah, it's radiohead, this is the studio version.

[hashiepashi]

their early stuff is much different than their later stuff.

Not bad at all, just different.

[TheMonkeynaut]

1:16 is so funny hahaha

and this song is awesome

[NathanPathan]

cars dont kill people, people kill cars

[spankycorkforker]

cars dont kill people i kill people with cars

[esham2001]

Guns don't kill people..I do

[panicatthedisco04]

this song should be on an album

[zerochance01]

this is the first time im listening to this song...is that part in the beginning where it sounds like a car is breaking...is that apart of the song or just from the vid clip?

[nonameno5]

from the video clip.

[zerochance01]

ahhh, thank you cause it would make sense if it were apart of the song...hence my confusion...thanx!!!

[gingergiblet]

Barbecube

[cecidip]

its just a part of the video

[Scott17quebec]

Thom is afraid of car because he almost died 2 times in car crash.

[deka0811]

I didnt know it

[JohnWLennon1980]

Did he almost die TWO times in ONE car crash or did he almost die in 3 car crashes? O.o ^^

[rob5000x1]

airbag is also about being thankful that u didnt die in a car wreck

[noumenah]

love vintage and radiohead

[killmnan]

my favorite song :D

[rawwqq]

I'm guessing Thom is afraid of cars? Evidently from his song airbag

[bridgesmatt]

he was in a car crash when he was young, he drives now though so i don't think 'afraid' is the right word.

[80sRockerKid]

I love Killer Cars.

One of my favorite B-sides.

[stargirln]

GREAT GREAT!

[neurom4nc3r]

WOOOW this version is fuckin the best!

[drunkentrumpet]

so nice!!

[alekasndree]

that version of song is great.

[anomix]

Killer Cars was also a track on Itch, which i believe was an EP released in Asia.

[clipsounds]

Yes this is the best version of killer cars!!!! Love Radiohead!!!!

[zeedee11]

wow. This is the best version of this song. I've been a radiohead fan forever and I never new this one existed! Thanks! :-)

[Itasattc]

Does anyone know what EP this is off of? I'd really like to know, great throwback tune.

[MartijnVDD]

Japanese version of The Bends.

Because the CDs are more expensive in Japan, they usually add 1 or 2 songs.

The other song that was added to The Bends is "How can you be sure?".

[jackson2578]

High & Dry

[leumas009]

Brilliant video for a brilliant song!

[Basketkased]

Yet another killer song from the killer band

[tomsega]

I've never heard this version of the song before, I just thought it was acoustic!

[wwk14]

i just hate driving

[Dudastico]

ajjajajaaj, esta super beuno xD

[teluia]

I like the break towards the end.

[bridgesmatt]

yeah, it's called a bridge, not a break.

[MrsAdonis]

I like to think that people who see this video can somehow understand my fear of cars

[DrunkedCat]

Wow, great video

[androidqt1]

I like this version.

[roguebass]

The Mogodon remix was the definitive version of this track, I think it was on the high and dry EP

[preinfixed]

well done! love it!

[misolteodia]

great vid.

[INDIANBLANKET]

Should have been an A side. What is it with bands, particularly Oasis, who waste brilliant songs as B sides so not many people hear them and put out crap on the actual albums?

[Boxyno1]

But Radiohead don't put out crap on their actual albums

[stenualdo]

Absolutely, Radiohead don't waste good songs on B-sides. They release incredible songs on A sides, and equally good ones as B-Sides.

Generally songs are B-Sides because they didn't fit in with the mood/theme of the other songs on the album. Hence '4 Minute Warning' not being on 'In Rainbows'.

[Breedlove88]

This song is actually on the Japanese version of The Bends. My buddy played it for me back in 97 or so. The instrumental part at the end is jaw-dropping--all that beautiful noise

[bigfathairygiant]

Great vid dude!!

[jimmykeaneperu]

esta cancion es una de las mejores

[darthwillis]

Very nice, I've been working on making something like this. thumbs up!

[KahnBB6]

Again, beautiful video.

[eauclaire06]

this version is so sexy. I've listened to it 100x in the past week.

[booboobobby]

couldnt cope if you crashed today

all the things I forgot to say

[Elduderino323]

i love this song, and i love this version

[treppdomain]

The acoustic version is the only version I have heard up until this one, and i think it's alot better though

[larsbonne]

liked it
