I absolutely hated this song when I was a kid and it would come over the radio I would cringe and run to the radio to shut it off. BUT! Leave it to Thom and Radiohead to make this a much better song! AWESOME! They could do any cover and it would be brilliant! Love you Radiohead!
@MariposaGirl1981 Thom Yorke probably heard this when they opened up for Soul Asylum when they were touring the Pablo Honey album. Soul Aslyum has been playing this song since 1990 or so.
I think its pretty good. Didn't know this radio head guy did this song over. Just watched Glen Campbells and now this. Its a good song. Funny yahh..blah,blah,blah......
this is an example of everything that is good and positive and wonderful and right in the world!!!!! finding this made me smile for the first time today!!!!! this is BEYOND like!!!! We need a LOVE AND ADORE button for when we find little nuggets of JOY like this......
Great video! I have an exclusive interview with the original songwriter for this song from a few weeks ago on my video podcast "Viva Nashville" Just go to youtube . com / vivanashville and connect with us:
anyone who thinks they are trying to 'improve' this song, or thinks they've ruined it, is stupid. It's a silly, fun pop song that they are just having fun. There is no way they are extracting any meaning from these lyrics lol
i wish people would stop saying that they've 'ruined' this song. This is clearly just a cover they did to amuse themselves a bit in the middle of some huge uber tour, I'd imagine even playing radiohead songs every night gets a bit repetitive. You can even hear Thom laughing during the chorus. Radiohead are not Glenn Campbell fans, because they're not shit eating rednecks.
I like this version, it's got more passion than Glen Campbell's, and it's also more optimistic. Campbell's version was great, but it was also tinged with 1970s melancholy.
The English have the knights that fascinate us. We have the cowboys and the outlaws that fascinate the English lol. Actually Glen Campbell played Rock music before he played country. He is an awesome guitar player to, although I don't like Country Music.
GLEN CAMPBELL?! I am floored. All those damn cowboys from my side of the country are awful, and actually Glen Campbell is playing a festival I'm going to this summer.. but what the hell, Radiohead are doing one of his songs good?!
@GhostOfTheWriter google: download Radiohead - Rhinestone Cowboy. the second search result will be a beemp3 link to download the song. it' safe, i've used that site before.
fuck them! disrespect to Glen Cambell
