Radiohead: The National Anthem

[sydeladict]

El mejor Video que he visto jamas!

[DonaldRumsfailed]

What a great video for a great song. I wonder who that lady at 3:52 is. So bizarre and appropriate.

btw, if this got runner up, the one that won it must've been incredible to have beaten this.

[anneshuck]

This video is tight.



[deathbysexywtf]

i like the video a lot.

[JustinToXiCPiG]

The video is brilliant. Perfect. The confused lady at the end is the icing on the cake.

[rbeard2]

Genius...the song of course but the video as well...sureal

[beefcows]

now there are ads 10 sec in #wtf

[ashkisser12]

You guys ever realize that when you youtube 'national anthem', there's a ton of patriotic videos and then a single radiohead song that is the exact opposite?

[lizznoonan]

WTF happened to these comments? Did a spam bomb go off in this thread?

@medalfan26 nice attempt at digital sarcasm. Something tells me not everyone is picking up on it.

[mkant66]

The horn jam that this song turns into drags on for far too long. It got to the point where I was asking myself "when is this song going to end?" I don't know if Radiohead was going for some kind of unique sound, but they didn't achieve it. This song really brings nothing new to the table for me. Once again, I am left wondering if the unconditional love everybody has for radiohead is just a big practical joke to make me wonder if my ears are damaged.

[hndutube]

the old lady looks so horrified :D

[00alekos00]

i love it!!!!!!!

[michaelfeldman91]

ahhh I just the trolling comments....cant believe I fell for it.

[michaelfeldman91]

Am I the missing out on some inside joke from the above comments? Because if not than these poeple are utterly retarted to think that Radiohead has been around for 50 years. LOL newbies

[CaptainBluebear08]

Thom, your Blair-refusal weighs heavily and meant a lot. THANKS

[sn9696]

This video does not go with the song !!!

[annywally]

the best clip ever

[TheRourkesdrift]

Great video!

[ChilldudeVS]

The national anthem....

of Zaire, apparently

[Freidhiem]

TBH, the Yoshida Bros. Version is better.

[superwiicrazy]

@slimininin says the guy who has a justin bieber song favorited LOL

[420Guitar420]

@slimininin How fucking stupid can you be to think Radiohead is emo?

[Jonmad17]

@slimininin Mediocre trolling. Be more subtle next time.

[skateToooday]

i really want to talk my jazz teacher into playing this for our next concert wouldn't that be so badass to play? such an amazing song. most musical people on this planet

[kitefreak100]

The National Anthem is the national anthem of my own world.

[Inuyashaluva89]

lupe ripped this

[BLooDCoMPleX]

1:22 Who the hell is that guy? I'm a hundred percent sure I've seen him.

[Independent0bserver]

LOL, well done.

[rouselot]

Alguien sabe que lengua es la de los subtitulos? Gracias!!!

[137aliss]

Klass!!

[YUN0GUY]

I don't think this song has anything to do with African-American Gospel culture, therefor, why would it deserve any recognition from the creators?

[hendergab]

The old lady @ min. 3:45 has the look of: "What the hell I´m doing here?, I don´t belong here... " haha

[hendergab]

The old lady @ min. 3:45 has the look of: "And i thought I´ve seen it all..." haha

[UnshackledMind86]

is this the actual video for the song?

[Plusto84]

THOM YOU MISERABLE CUNT. GET HERE NOW AND GIVE THIS VID THE CREDIT IT DESERVES THAT SOMEONE DID FOR WHAT I CAN ONLY SUSPECT WAS THE LOVE OF YOUR MUSIC

[tomomemitasha]

@Plusto84 Thank you for this comment... and yes, this was a labor or love.

[tomomemitasha]

Thank you for this comment... and yes, this was a labor or love.

[mst3ksanta]

@tomomemitasha i love you for this video enough to pleasure you even if your a guy.... not that im gay just saying great job

[keepcalmycarryon]

@Plusto84 Thank you for this comment... and yes, this was a labor of love.

[QuiteHotBros]

omg great song, been a radiohead fan for about a year now and just heard this song TODAY. love that bassline, catchy vocals, and damn that sax towards the end is kickin'

[rainbowsun69]

2001..june...it was fullmon,waiting to get in for RH concert in the Arena of Verona,the ancien Roman wonderfull Arena...a long queue between the olds rocks and archs but just few meters to enter..and it started the concert with the bass of National Anthem:the feelings and emotions explosed with that rythm..the queue moved up and in few seconds we were inside having those magnetics elements:the music,the history,the moon,thousands of people ...UNFORGETTABLE!!! RH the best music of '90

[n23f]

Is this the real video or like a home-made?

[MEYERS3000]

Caution: Extremely fat bass lines are contained in this song. Proceed at your own risk.

[lajefadelrodo]

Is this the real official music video? Where the hell is the cartoon version with the creepy bear and stuff? I can't find it anywhere

[MrRichardHalley]

@lajefadelrodo You might try looking for one posted by emimusic. 

[krua32]

@lajefadelrodo It was made for MTV Latin America's "Make Your Radiohead Video" contest.

You'd have found that out if you read the description.

[WickedLiquid]

@lajefadelrodo That cartoon video was fanmade. There is no official video for this song.

[chrondrone]

that was very funny, and worth the wait.

[genetio]

hahahahahhahaha

[Eihabss]

Top Gear did not bring me here I come here everyday

[Dude2012iffy]

This should be recognised as some form of copyright infringement as it clearly demonstrates that Radiohead did not perform this.

[ealedues]

It's so fuckin sick !!!

Muy muy bueno !

[skulduggery22]

great snyc

[xXxEstrellaOcultaxXx]

it looks like a videogame in the beggining

[ayane111]

good and beatiful song , bad video ( descrimination ) very bad sic

[Leaf13]

@ayane111 Discrimination?  How so ? ... and your welcome on the spelling... nice to be able to spell it if you're going to accuse someone of it.

[OneWorldHistory]

After 50 years of going through phases of jazz, rock, classical, punk, rap, acid-jazz, country, alt country, bluegrass, southern rock, blues, motown, and many others... ...there are a few bands that just NEVER get old.

Radiohead is high on this list.

[pdxbiker2009]

@OneWorldHistory I haven't heard much Radiohead but I intend to start collecting their CDs. I have about the same expeince as you with musical taste. I'm about the same age as you to.Steely Dan will always be my favorite band but Radiohead so far sounds like some of the most thoughtful, intelligent and well performed music I have ever heard.

[Rolanditis]

@OneWorldHistory They're on the top, actually.

[MEdalFan26]

@OneWorldHistory the;yve been around for that long?? 50 fucking years?? no fucking shit. I thouhgt radiohead was ffrom the 80s, tops, man! i think i herd some of there rap shit (with Jay Zee?) but i dunno im not reallyy into that jive. show me some of there classical beats, i was listening to some Poveraty (spelling?) and that queer is fucking dope. Sings like a motherfucker. but he ain't got shit on my fucking personal hero, the PUSSY POUNDING JIM fucking GILLETTE!

FUCK YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[cheezypoof69]

@MEdalFan26 they are from the 80s

[MEdalFan26]

@cheezypoof69 no shit shurlock that guy said theyve been around for 50 fucking years!! they porbably jamed with hte beetles and shit too man! so get youre learn on son! ROCK ON!

FREE BIRD!!! YEAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!

[OpinionatedAussie]

@MEdalFan26 He didn't say that radiohead had been around for 50 years, he said that he himself had been listening to music for 50 years, and despite all the styles of music and bands that have come and gone, radiohead have remained awesome....but i guess it requires an IQ of over 12 to understand basic sentence syntax and semantics...

[keepcalmycarryon]

@OpinionatedAussie What measure of intelligence quotient is requisite for detecting run-on sentences?

[OpinionatedAussie]

@keepcalmycarryon ...As I just said, anything over a score of 12. Did you spend too much time delving through your thesaurus to read that bit?

[keepcalmycarryon]

@OpinionatedAussie I was referring to that mess you left on this comment thread. By George, haven't you a Manual of Style handy? Chicago or even Turabian will do. (I will gladly proofread your Youtube drafts for a reasonable fee.) And why, pray tell, would I need to consult a thesaurus? To find a synonym for "philistine?" No need, Commoner, as your username will suffice.

Apology accepted. Good day.

[OpinionatedAussie]

@keepcalmycarryon That would fall under the umbrella category of "sentence sytnax and semantics" y'know, so further clarification seems a little bit...well, on the retarded side, to put it bluntly. But if you need to play white knight over youtube to flex your intellectual muscles and feel big about yourself, that's your deal. Hope it's working out for you.

[jimmybilbo]

@Picnicl well said. no idea why you got flagged for spam.

[Knifymoloko]

Superb editing.

[Astrosws20]

Radiohead's most underrated song!

[ParticalEMotion]

This should be played at the Royal Wedding.

[HeroinForever]

Y'all should type in, "Slayer goes to church" and LOL at that shit. If Slayer goes to church doesn't make you ROFL .... then you must be a nigger.

[FreddyOMills]

haha, this is a bit rubbish...

[TheWillmeister868]

@FreddyOMills haha, oh wait, no thats not funny

[FreddyOMills]

@TheWillmeister868 Wow, someone's a bit of a die hard fan...

[TheWillmeister868]

@FreddyOMills I am not a 'die hard fan', I simply find your comment stupid.

[BukkakeNation]

0: 00 ye vouce saan a nousons? - 435-3495 (dae hoidaar institut par infaants) The ►Inter◄ national Anthem

[cellodork193]

It stated out ok with an ok bass line and drums, bit then after 2 minutes of going nowhere it decides to throw in all sorts of weird sounds, which makes it sound like just noise.

[ilikeredandblack]

@cellodork193 I hope you're kidding... you're like these freaks who likes the perfect clean music... if so, don't listen to any more radiohead.

[TheJOcorm]

Completement ingénieux ! good work



[superwiicrazy]

useless rockers from england

[GeoMcEvan]

@superwiicrazy and what's wrong with england?

[infirmaryblues]

I didn't realize Radiohead was from Africa and multi-gender

[GCX124]

3:45 ... freaked out white lady

[thee71]

How could this be first runner up, this is great

[benrules77]

lupe fiasco sings over this instrumental and its beast check it out

[MuldvarpenMol]

Is it just me, or are they manipulating with this video?

[tcoreyb]

The song itself is spectacular, but this video enhances the song even more.

[ExperimentLife]

So chill

[thejoymonster]

Timeless. This came out ten years ago, and it´s just as fresh and revolutionary.

[lunaluvin]

@thejoymonster I concur home-skillet.

[digan2303]

@thejoymonster

No it's not.

[thejoymonster]

@digan2303 Let us know if you can do any better.

[digan2303]

@thejoymonster

It is not very sophisticated and it was done years before Radiohead: v=nUefJcvo75I Sounds familiar, right? Only better.

[thejoymonster]

@digan2303 Did you know that you can´t cut and paste links on Youtube?

[Zealant]

@digan2303 In response to Girl Boy Tom, the exact same thing could be said of "One of These Days" by Pink Floyd, so your attempt to undermine this song is just a tad invalid.

[VibrantWhite]

@thejoymonster Revolutionary?

[thejoymonster]

@VibrantWhite Figuratively. Obviously I didn't mean that it would and could inspire people to revolt against their government. 

[thejoymonster]

@pdxbiker2009 Well, call it off. Sorry to burst your bubble.

[Kemordia]

@VibrantWhite Musically, not politically

[RPFS2008]

@thejoymonster

Beatles did this decades ago :)

[thejoymonster]

@RPFS2008 They did what was appropriate to their time. Radiohead have managed to evolve with each album, same as the Beatles...

[davemorphine]

3:45 PSYCHOOOOOOOOO!!! :-O

[Mimiru667]

@mjl8485 hahahahahah! :)

[pythonbyte]

better than 'God save the Queen'.

[DrumBum1973]

visionary vid

[JDMacaB]

This is freaking awesome! How funny and great!

[osbely]

Wow, I cannot get over how uniquely creative this is. It just grabs your attention and doesn't let go until the very end. Shoulda been an official music video.

[KingWasp1]

Anyone who thinks this is racist doesn't get it!

Listen to the words...

[Nutbustin1]

Incredible video.

[iAMnoxon]

this is racist

[Nugugerube]

@iAMnoxon

How so?

[IWILLEATYOUHEAD]

@iAMnoxon lolhow

because it depicts black people?

[michaelb3197]

@iAMnoxon Yor the one being racist by singleing the video out and making a big deal for having black folks in it!

[flitflint]

@iAMnoxon No, it's not. :|

[DarknessHowls]

3:45

[spetrus]

The best fucking band in the world.

[Hypact1v3]

Hmmmm Radiohead look different.... Maybe it's the haircuts?

[fede018]

@james92311 Muse first album is their worst. They tried so hard to be like Radiohead and Jeff Buckley

[maulinks]

Muse and Radiohead are completedly different, bellamy and yorke are extraordinary musicians, but they express their music differently.

[pythonbyte]

@maulinks muse have a blank in the classic album column, the other lot have at least six.

[MEYERS3000]

@pythonbyte what about absolution?

[reverb2]

tay zonday on drums

[ZZYXY456]

@reverb2 more like the chocolate drum

[cell9song]

Opium of the Masses

[poetworm]

@james92311 That's too bad, it's one of their best.

[poetworm]

28 people are fans of Muse, the band that wished they were Radiohead.

[davidbeegan]

Idiots, Im a MUSE and Radiohead Fan and i hate to be the one to tell you retards, if anything MUSE were inspired by Radiohead. Radiohead have been around for years doing this kind of music, long before MUSE came along. DUUUUUHHHHHHHH

[antisadism]

Its stupid to think Muse is better than Radiohead, its even stupider to think that XXmetallicaXrulesXX is a legitimate Muse fan, he is obviously a douchebag troll trying to make Muse fans look like morons by saying Radiohead ripped them off.

[Grannymuncher]

Lol at muse trolls, radiohead outclass muse by miles.

[XXmetallicaXrulesXX]

fucking Radiohead, ripping off Muse, what bastards!

[jibblychupos]

Radiohead should be ashamed of themselves. In this track Radiohead is clearly ripping off Muse by using the Ondes Martenot. As many in the world already know Muse were the first to bring this instrument back into the mainstream with their hit single ''Resistance''. Check out the The Making of the Resistance(6th video in search) and head to the video of ''Resistance'' and you will see Matt Bellamy near the end of that video using the Ondes(french connection)

[bmccarthy9]

@jibblychupos Can i point out that this song was released on an album in 2000?

[StarburstTony]

@jibblychupos You love Radiohead boiiiiiiiiiii.

[poetworm]

@jibblychupos I sure hope you're not being serious. Really, I hope not, for your own mental sake. Comparing Muse to Radiohead is like comparing a group of kids with plastic kazoos to the London Symphony Orchestra.

[cKunke2]

@jibblychupos

Besides the fact that this song came out 9 years earlier? Damn some people are stupid

[kingvitamin88]

@jibblychupos So they use an instrument that another band used and they should be ashamed of themselves? That's just idiotic. Especially considering that Muse is HEAVILY influenced by Radiohead. But that doesn't even matter. The fact is, that music is about expression and if you want to use an instrument, tool, or sound that another band used to express themselves...more fucking power to you, it's more of a tribute, a way to say "I share some of your feelings".

[RuleTheRadio23]

@jibblychupos You do realize that "Resistance" came out last year right? Radiohead's "The National Anthem" was written in 97 and recorded in 1999 which is oh about eleven years before. God your an idiot

[carloknightmear23]

Mierda xD

el que edito este video si se las ingenio bien cabron xD

[rongpa70]

brilliant. but i really want to hear what they're actually listening to

[picaplant]

CHUUUCH !

[TheAnubis567]

HAHA GRANDMA LIKE W T FISH IS GOIN ON

[closereplysend]

i dont know who preapared this video clip for this song but it must be very very difficult. video and song are just poerfect... i loved 'em both.

[idealcrashjs]

WTF

[brujerverde]

este video no tiene madre ¡radiohead!

[deadpoolcloud]

I KNOW I heard this in a trailer for a film or in a movie......any one have any idea where I might have heard this? Please help, it's driving me crazy.
