Radiohead/OK COmputer - 08 Electioneering

[lucidnightmare969]

This song feels like being strapped into a roller-coaster through a corporate business world

[lucidnightmare969]

This is probably Radiohead's most under-rated song. Lyrically it recalls the band's later political-geared work on Hail to the Thief, and it has cowbell...cmon, that's a great fucking piece of music

[Braxium1]

4 ppl needs to go backwards to get some gigantic cowbells.

[pikeflyfisherman]

To all the people who say this is Ok Computer's weakest song, I say, NEEDS MORE FUCKING COWBELL !!!!!!!

[jnotheman]

Such a fucking badass riff in the beginning!

[hilliuno]

this one with 15 step are the coolest' radiohead's songs :D

[EveryTimeV2]

Song start-up was amazing.

[frenzythechicken]

muse does not sound like this

[Crujito247]

Esta es la rola ke mas me gusta de este disco

[MoNoHeAd5]

1 dislike??

Someone go forwards but never meet with the one who go backwards :/

[Wonderpusoctopus]

99 to 1

[pantapdiazho]

the other day one of my friends was telling me that radiohead just had calm songs and he liked none of them... then i told him that radiohead had all type of songs, and he said that they didnt have a good and fast riff... then i showed him electioneering, and he was amazed then he started liking Radiohead.

[MetaCraken]

Nick Clegg's theme song

[SimonB198207]

@MetaCraken :) This kind of summed up the final days of Major's government back in '97. This and 'Death of the Party' by Blur.

But i agree, very current.

[silentsniper125]

what a riff!

[AnimeGuy9]

Catchiest song on OK Computer, easily.

[BMWM3LOVER]

HOW DO I GET MY GUITAR TO SOUND THIS SEXY?

[holden0001]

@BMWM3LOVER more cowbell

[skttterbrain]

@BMWM3LOVER

fender lace sensor pickups!

[Odieandgarfield]

@barnabyfox I think Black Star is the most underrated, but this one sure is underrated, too.

[AdrianvsJak]

The first song on OK Computer that actually sounds different from the rest. Upbeat and identifiable. I'm listening to the "01 and 10 playlist" and The other songs just kind of blended together on the OK computer side. This song and Fitter Happier are the only ones that stand out on their own in my Opinion. There are more songs that stand out in the "In Rainbows" side though.

[YellowDartToons]

@AdrianvsJak

When I first heard Radiohead albums I thought the same thing.  But then you notice all the little subtle production techniques and different structures and actually read the lyrics as Thom sings them... and they suddenly breathe with identity. Each song is a completely different subject about a common theme.

[DoubleO711]

@AdrianvsJak You think that Airbag and Exit Music sound the same? HAHAHA!

[Braxium1]

@DoubleO711 WHAT? Where is that comment! :S

[DoubleO711]

@Braxium1 Go to view all comments and go down a little and you'll see it. Lol they said they think this is the first song on OK Computer that actually sounds different from the rest!

[fentonyoung]

@wiqdGato DISAGREE! this song proves that Thom Yorke is a prophet...

[rujelio]

Esa rola es una PISTOLA...........

[johnny4297]

''Cattle prods and the IMF!!!''

Must have been professing Ireland's doom...

[pattah]

@wiqdGato id always said it was the weakest track and sounded kinda scattered.. buuuut i would definitely put it on the bends over pablo honey, good comment i still like the song though on its own every now and then, as per why im here right now. cheers

[whitephaton]

amo todas las canciones de RADIOHEAD!!!!

[asins]

Just started listening to radiohead today. Its refreshing to hear modern music with talent. I look forward to the future!! with radiohead joining me on my musical journeys!

[iamGed7]

love radiohead!!!!!!

[Hypact1v3]

@wiqdGato Dude don't pair Pablo honey with the bends.... ever.

[krazipersn]

love it!

[11joshman]

needs more cowbell!

[scratchknife]

This song really stands out from the other songs in OK Computer, AND I LOVE IT

[ThugNweed]

Radiohead is so good, it should be illegal to listen to them

[PLK929]

I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell.

[blah3189]

@PLK929

i thought it was a cowbell

but then: maybe a timpani?

but then: NO. COWBELL.

[adj789]

Best Radiohead song

[pudboy123456]

my favourite song on the album maybe? but then this album has so many classic tunes. Possible the greatest british album ever? or the bends?

[slmskrpk]

I reckon you ain't familiar with these here parts

You know, there's a story behind that there saloon

[OnlyVideoGuyOnEarth]

@Mandelbrak You're not only stupid enough to think that somehow melanin and some culture will change who you are, you're stupid enough to believe YouTube is a place. So for your information, it might as well be Mexico, who cares?

Oh and thanks for your idiocy, you make me laugh.

[ozeiyo]

I fucking love this song. And the whole album.

[NishSequeira]

The song before this was probably one of the best written songs of all time. Then they follow it up with this masterpiece. Amazing. And this is coming from a non-Radiohead fan (until now).

PS. I now know where Coldplay and John Mayer get their hits from..

[IfyouneedTV]

@NishSequeira correction: PS. i now know where Coldplay, John Mayer AND MUSE get their hits from..

[kumquatOO7]

@IfyouneedTV eyyy...

[Drenex00]

such a cool song

[Ottmar555]

One of my favourite songs from them

[celess21]

Awesome =D love Radiohead! bah, there will always be no life retards losing their time arguing on youtube ;p that's all they got it seems =D isnt life grand?

[Scott17quebec]

Favorite album

[stickexjr]

wtf is with all these negative comments on such a great song

[Alexneoz]

Bueno parece que

Mendelbrak no entiende español asi que solo le dire: u can suck my dick mother fucker.

[Mendelbrak]

Go mow my lawn, taco bender.

[starbreezevillage]

oh i'll mow your lawn mendelbrak if you know what i mean ;)

jk, i'd never fuck a racist fatherfucker like you...

[ivparo]

Relax Mendelbrak. I understand people like you who turn angry racist because they can't admit their homosexuality.

It doesn't mean because you're fat and ugly that you can't find yourself a well hung Mexican boyfriend. He would actually help you release the anger away with some good old homo south of the border loving. Peace & love my friend, peace & love.

[ivparo]

Nope, but you're still a frustrated fag with a small penis.

[M5maxima]

hehe..... bueno aparentemente esta cancion es basicamente es un descanso para las emociones q exponen los temas anteriores tales como ( let down, exit music....) q son demasiado, para luego

[M5maxima]

terminar con canciones como lucky q son demasiados para un corazon sano XD...

[progreadicto]

esta cancion desentona un poco con las demas por ser inferior en comparacion con el resto

[dimakauffman]

que taradez! como se ve que apenas escuchaste el disco

[progreadicto]

he escuchado ese disco mas de 500 veces y todos los de radiohead, y estoy convencidisimo que ni siquiera es mejor que fitter happier (y no es broma, lo digo en serio), opiniones son opiniones, tu tienes las tuyas y yo las mias

[matu2983]

es que en realidad es mas vieja que la mayoria del album, es de la época de The Bends

[progreadicto]

en the bends no hubiera desencajado por su sonido rockero, pero en ok computer como que no va bien, yo la hubiera puesto en lugar de street spirit que si va bien en ok computer

[matu2983]

puede ser, pero hubiera quedado muy saturado de rock the bends, street spirit creo que es como un puente a lo que va a venir despues en ok computer.

[fcofal]

yo creo q encaja bien con las demás, por q trata de los mismos temas que el resto del album (política, campañas electorales) son temas mas de "Ok Computer" que "The Bends"

[progreadicto]

en esa parte tienes razon, los temas de OK Computer son mas "maduros" que los de the bends, no es que no me guste la cancion, es solo que no me parece tan trabajada como las demas, es todo

[KirbiesandYoshies]

Translation of fcofal's Spanish Comment:

I think that [this song] encompasses the themes of the album. They'e "OK Computer" themes, not "The Bends" themes.

[lindaguapa]

AMO radiohead!!!

[elevar90]

bellissima!!!!!dà 1 carica!!
