Fitter Happier (more) Productive

[InuHanyouGirl1995]

We read Fahrenheit 451 in class and our teacher played this.

[InOnePlace4Now]

It's been said a few times already, but how can anyone not understand this?

[Jaimetron1]

I dont know why it says no one understood this song...I understood it perfectly the first time I heard it.

[sikanda6]

Really love this video

[impeachblair1]

@sikanda6 Thanks man - appreciate it : )

[animenice]

If you don't understand the song, then you're what the song is describing.

[Bulldog22031]

@animenice EVERYONE is what this song is describing in one way or another.

[RobinsonRP]

In your description, you say that no one understands this masterpiece. I do hope that isn't true.

[isiskrisis]

"its kinda like a future computer describeing the average human being"

Future?

I interpret the monotone as representing the deadness inside of people who buy the mainstream consumerist bureaucratic poison tripe*. In general the song has a similar sort of message to Fight Club's, actually.

*Not to dis tripe.

[bischke]

Isn't there one word to describe living a life that's like pré-programmed?

[isiskrisis]

It isn't hard to understand.

I was tempted to post the lyrics of this song on the window of LuLu Lemon's Kitsilano location when they had their big "The Secret"-inspired display about getting what you want by obsessing over it. 2007-ish.

They're the kind of liberal, alternative, progressive, enlightened left-coast establishment that might tried to get the cops to pick me up for doing so, though.

[mickstery6]

amazingly well done

[Endtroducing85]

This video is authentic creepiness.

[needmorebrain]

Btw for those who havent noticed: The background voice in loop repeats the words 'This is the Panic Office, section nine-seventeen may have been hit. Activate the following procedure.'.

[needmorebrain]

Very old song, still creeps me out - totally!

[anotherCAProduction]

if you don't understand...

it's the way americans live,

it's a convienent lie.

they think being wealthier or fitter will lead them to happiness but it just brings the big guys higher and the small guys lower.

no one's ever satisfied.

in my view, it's kinda saying, modern happiness isn't true happiness,

it's just a lie...

b/c in the end no one's enlightened.

u can't find happiness blending into this society,

it just doesn't work.

[isiskrisis]

Um.

It isn't only Americans.

[poetworm]

Radiohead are true and genuine music geniuses and this piece of music/prose is proof of that.

Five Stars++++ for the video, incredibly effective.

[shakakakaw]

well, i can't see how the song is hard to understand :/

considering the one listening is a fan of radiohead the lyrics should be quite clear.

[xPaRiShx]

My English teacher played this for us in school. It's hard to capture at first, but it does make sense after a while

[Blackwaterdesigns]

you have the coolest english teacher ever.

[Muchacristi]

EVER!

[hippywill]

i think i have heard it as well at school.

[Sypran]

you know, listening to this alot lately it starts to make a bit of sence, its kinda like a future computer describeing the average human being... (also it implies that we will be slaves to our own technology (pig in cage)) or thats my idea.

[vscanzi]

I must agree the end of this video was creepy...

Would it be real or not? There's a question....

[dracolover3285]

my dance academy did a dance 2 this song, its soooo creepy i thought i was gonna hav nightmares!! yeesh

[Sypran]

i agree its creepy but its Radiohead and its awsome!

[joe501]

this is genuine.

[yeeMASTAisHEA]

crazy good

[Hwy61Revisited]

One of the most brilliant pieces of music ever recorded.

[co94]

Yeah, right.

[roxonogueira]

scary!!

[bluebirdie252]

creepy

[snogger6]

WOW this if its true and its not a fan made piece, this is very rare.
