Radiohead - National Anthem(+Lyrics)

[The420blaze69]

I listened to this for the first time when i was stoned

[jasmineskye121]

This is great, and so is Lupe's freestyle over this.

[mahavishnuxc]

Someone needs to call a doctor cause this fucking bass line is infectious.

[DnsssChocolate]

My dream music...!

[Jamsessionroom1337]

There gonna be in miami this february....

Tickets sold out. :'(

[fabster69000]

@Jamsessionroom1337 I got tickets, And I don't know you, but I will lose my shit enough for you and for me.

[Jamsessionroom1337]

@fabster69000  Thank you kindly good sir.

:D

[aboxxinc]

This might be my favourite bassline...ever

[angrytrifrocenerd1]

What nation is this for? Nation A?

[TheJohnnythehorse]

.When aa was a KID an tha NATIONAL ANTHEM came on at tha end of tha BBC TV late at night i saluted ta this coz tha TV had tube problems and the anthem sounded off beat but i still saluted

[thejoj96]

I widh this was actually the national anthem.

[JBlaze3100]

Michael Buble bought me here.

[DamienThaaKidd]

im bout to mash this beat

[KIckerOmega]

Am I dead?

[MrPeguin666]

The only bands I know that can make cacophony sound like a masterpiece are The Beatles, The Velvet Underground and Radiohead.

[jadusable97]

@MrPeguin666 Forgot Miles Davis :D

[tubrutolity]

@MrPeguin666 What about King Crimson?

[TheAndrewj96]

@tubrutolity King Crimson? Eh... Not quite.

[TheChimpvanzee]

@MrPeguin666 Too bad Lou Reed made that terrible album with Metallica and everyone who's ever met him in the industry thinks he's a giant prick.

[SWxLOVE]

I just came.

[lazyeyes1403]

string cheese incident played this saturday night in NYC..shi8t was off the hook

[RockerRocco1]

Does something about this song scream Revolution to you guys? It does to me

[squirrelboi48]

My friend showed me this a few days ago. Now I listen to it and a bunch of other Radiohead songs at least once every day. <3

[darkblue323]

I have over 2000 tracks in my iPod and about 30 CDs, but this is literally the only song I increase the volume to the max for. I usually hate listening to music very loudly, but this is an entirely different case. I find myself immersed in music listening to this track. I also find it the best track radiohead ever made, although it is not my favorite for them.

[Bubbiea]

i wish my school played this every morning

[macgoo32]

I work in the soundbooth at football games for the local high school. For homecoming i played this instead of the regular national anthem. So fucking funny everyone stood up took off their helmets/hats and then radiohead comes on, almost made it through the whole song before they figured out how to get it off.... ahhhhh

[ChilldudeVS]

@macgoo32 You're the best!

[OrangeySnicket]

"Charles Mingus would direct his musicians by asking them to 'play like butterflies.' Yorke and Jonny Greenwood asked their invited brass section to 'play like a traffic jam.'"

[coolwefrer]

One of my teachers tried to do a "Dark Side of the Rainbow"-style thing with this song and "How to Disappear Completely" paired with the last few minutes of The English Patient. It actually worked...

[FacultyBob]

is that the real national anthem in the end?

[FacultyBob]

"Turn it off!" at the end

[EnvelopsTheBathtub]

Wow this song is so wonderul and confusing at the same time!

[mariob71681]

Wtf

[SpookyAC130Spectre]

anyone know what the voice says at 5:36?

[michaelb3197]

Does this make people want to put dark shades on and swagger down a street.

[sn9696]

@michaelb3197 ,no,it makes me want to fly to saturn while wearing dark shades!

[KingofDrums19]

@michaelb3197 this song makes me wanna walk down my school hallways like a boss

[jexeq]

concha y la vaca.... everyone is soooo near...

[KingofDrums19]

My drum teacher showed me this today..man am I ever glad he did.

[whatsonelement]

Happy Xmas...!

[potter1810]

If Led Zeppelin made the stairway to heaven, Radiohead made it to hell.

[DwightkSchrute101]

just listened to a couple of songs now. i don't find it as entrancing as you guys do lol but its okay

[cKunke2]

Chaotic brilliance. My favorite RH song ever

[MasterHandsPet]

Everytime I hear this song I think of I Think I Lost My Headache by Queens of the Stone Age. But which one came out first?

[baldazz]

@MasterHandsPet Me too! But QOTSA talks about a completely different theme (drugs/hangover) and it's heavier. Plus, the jazz part is way bigger. The album of QOTSA "Rated R" was the first being released.

[gusjack94]

@baldazz yes, it is but there are 4 months of difference, is is nothing

[TheEva0526]

i keep looking for the version where it's thom making noises instead of the trumpet but i cant find it!

[superwiicrazy]

@TheEva0526 glastonbury 2003, perhaps?

[atomikmike]

This is an amazing track, I absolutely love it!!!

BUT...

Give this a listen!

Gong / Continental circus world / What do you want

[monstritopibil]

this song scares the shit outta me

[mahavishnuxc]

RAD-io-head

[Indie000Rock]

EARGASM !

[FastCarsAndFreedom24]

today is the first day I got my bass guitar, and of course this is the first song I learned to play. this song is like LSD for your ears.

[qmurec]

legends

[wormsrock]

This song grooves so hard

[avfcoasis]

the most energetic song ever written.

[mostmagicalcat]

at 4.10 i always think that sweep from the sooty show is going crazy!!!!!!

[endline1]

uhm i love this song... and radiohead. i have to tell you all that lupe fiasco killed it. he literally lyrically killed this song and it will never be the same for me. i'm willing to admit it and let a great song go. seriously, go listen to it and tell me i'm wrong.

[progreadicto]

perdon, pero alguien comparo a radiohead con calle 13, otra señal del apocalipsis (la gente se vuelve mas retardada).

si bien radiohead no es la mejor banda del mundo (aunque si una buena banda en aquellos tiempos) de hecho que calle 13 esta muy pero muy por debajo, que sera lo proximo que escuchemos: que digan que daddy yankee posee la misma calidad que los beatles.

[minkaworks]

why was their official video for this song banned from youtube it was so cool?

[minkaworks]

@minkaworks if you havent seen it, little thom is in the hospital getting cloned many times. and theres a weird shadow creature too

[Adrillius]

Their best song.

[TheSumosammy]

NYT! <3

[sirius136]

Reminds me off National youth theatre slick 2011

[ikobe119]

I think this song represents the National Anthem of a distant planet that is ruled under one huge, violent, badass dictatorship.

[Bitching4Blades]

Love this song.. It's so trippy..

[hadassah357]

The Schoenbergs of modern music. So good they are scary.

[GGiblet]

Southparker42 :)

[Southparker42]

so fucking epic

[OneManDustBowl]

Definitely can't read those lyrics.

[baldazz]

This song makes plenty sense with the riot thing.

[freb]

@baldazz WITH EVERYTHING WITH humans.

[iceguy0077]

For some reason this song reminds me of the urban combat in half life 2

[shagoli19]

This is the history of the 20th century.

[tomaterr20]

I find this hilarious

[CTeamAwsome]

If i owned a country this would be the national anthem

[happyjunkie09]

@CTeamAwsome can i live there?

[CTeamAwsome]

@happyjunkie09 Of course!

[biriccannie]

Quotin GlitcHead: "This guy dances like an elf having a seizure" #LOL! still, Thom Yorke's the most amazing human being ever existed!!

[CarEdy23]

Pulgar arriba si no estas escuchando esto porque Rene de calle 13 lo twiteo

[cosmicrider287]

still one of the very best radiohead albums in my book.

[andreatle]

Calle 13 es un grupazo asi como Radiohead.

[stratforme]

This is the national anthem of the world.

[mortalweedbath666]

@stratforme yeah we all get it....

OCCUPY

[unclesamfatg]

@mortalweedbath666 to occupy what? I hate the guys on wall street, they're desperate to get free stuff!

[XxXiristarXxX]

@stratforme it won't be national then o-o

[squirrelboi48]

@XxXiristarXxX Then it'd be called the International Anthem :)

[omarzarzuela]

I have an amazing story that involves driving 100 mph, a flat tire and this song.

[liesinpale]

@omarzarzuela please share? :)

[omarzarzuela]

@liesinpale Well, I was in a road trip with some friends, we were listening to a mixed cd with Radiohead and Portishead music that I'd put together for the occasion. Here in my country we don't have speed limit, so you can drive fast as you can and we were running late. In the part of the wind instrmuents solo one of my friends begins to scream "here comes the chaos!!!!" and when the trumpet reaches its peak, boom one of the rear tires explodes and we scared the crap out of us. No one got hurt.

[liesinpale]

@omarzarzuela Have to admit I laughed, but that's too bad about the tire exploding. Thanks for sharing, that's a neat story. Amazing that it happened at the climax of the song!

[espressosenor]

@omarzarzuela Hahah good story!

[LieutenantSarcasm26]

I thought Optimistic was my favorite song on this album until I heard this song.

Now I love them both.

[cocoadelete]

"one time asks Tyson Zimmerman?" please says Mully

[spdwyblu05xrun]

Baby Jesus

[spdwyblu05xrun]

Rap to Bron-Y- Aur Stomp

[prlomchild]

what is a song similar to this i can rap to like Lupe? what is a good rock song period like this not too hip hoppy but that i can rap to?

[FiendJesterChaos]

@prlomchild Porcupine Tree - Synesthesia

Fugazi - Sweet And Low

Projected Twin - Oh! The Drama

[symbal777]

what is the horn sample at ~3:49 from?

[jguth66]

I heard this in the background of Top Gear, and I was like 0_0

[ned2one]

does anyone know the meaning behind the name "Kid A"? National Anthem is such a sweeeeet song, my band 'Latham's Grip' is doing a cover on it this friday

[cbr0oks]

@ned2one i wanna know the story behind the album name too. msg me if you find out and i'll give you +5 internets.

[Clerks0]

@cbr0oks i remember reading about it ages ago, it's like referring to the first human clone, since a is the first letter in the alphabet and the album is like the first clone..

kid a is also the name of a sequencer

[GlitcHead]

The first time I saw Radiohead was when they played this on SNL. I remember the moronic thoughts I had: "This guy dances like an elf having a seizure. What's this keyboard/yo-yo thing? Does this guy have a face?? Now he's playing the radio? Oh, Radiohead, I get it. And this guy's playing guitar but I don't hear any guitar noises." Despite my ignorance, something about it all intrigued me and it ended up beginning my obsession with the band that hasn't subsided at all in 10 years.

[antoniosalazar85]

@GlitcHead Same here!! Well put.

[DYE9]

@GlitcHead And now they're going to be on SNL on Sept 24th! I can't wait!

[superwiicrazy]

@GlitcHead they're on SNL again tonight ;)

[MoonMidget]

The dislike bar is the size of Toms penis

[HuginnG]

@MoonMidget your confusing the dislike bar with the eiffel tower

[MoonMidget]

@HuginnG sorry my friend went loose on my youtube account

[binarybyte]

Love the base... Happy Birthday Colin!!!

[RECON828]

That's Thom on bass, by the way...

[xRyan5]

@RECON828 Do you happen to be a fellow floodian? I recognize your name....

[RECON828]

@xRyan5 Yeah... Yeah, I am. What a coincidence. I actually linked this song on the forum a few days ago for some "best National Anthem" thread. Thought it'd be pretty funny.

[AvatarMajere]

People will look back on this decade and call it's music garbage, save for a few bands that actually push their talent to the next level.

Bravo Radiohead, to a masterpiece of the ears!

[AllRiseForDrEvil]

This song is just... insane... and it kicks so much ass :D

[SolidSnivvy]

i creamed my pants. radiohead are godly

[TheyCallMePig]

this kid needs to stop trying to be so funny. or retarted | |

V

[GeoMcEvan]

@TheyCallMePig *retarded

[bcbowar50]

The rhythm is just so driving. It seriously makes me wanna go on a light cycle from Tron and drive it towards those mountains on the cover of the album.

[jonathanehs]

Lupe Fiasco sent me here..

[beanhouse55]

first heard this when they played on snl whenever the hell that was. it was pretty badass

[Changshah]

Too bad CNN is not still using the first bit of this incredible song as music on AC360.

[truesh1t]

@Changshah are they really ?

[GeoMcEvan]

@Reckonerhead It's Thom saying 'turn it off'

[rane123]

Love the drums...phil rocks as well as the other members ofcourse....

[tsktskboogie]

Finally, free jazz is making its way back

[Thomasquwack]

[thelineof]

@thelineof fuck, sorry, dont understand spanish i try to said!

[thelineof]

aguante radiohead, cada disco es obras maestras, the bends es una obra de otro MUNDO

[memphis148]

@ChrisMessu me come la polla

[thechekone]

@ChrisMessu esta canción es viejisima!! yo la escuche desde que salio no necesito ser wannabe para escuchar musica-

[dcrespin100]

@ChrisMessu que asco me das vos y los 63 que le dieron pulgar arriba espero que te atropelle un autobus a vos y a los otrs 63

[ChrisMessu]

@dcrespin100 No te parece triste ver que hay personas tan intolerantes y cerradas en este mundo? Amigo, dejame decirte que respeto tus gustos musicales y que esta es una gran canción, ojalá pudieras ser una mejor persona y respetar y valorar los gustos de otros. Saludos y ojalá no me pase ni a mí ni a vos lo que me deseás.

[CAELoyalty]

@ChrisMessu pues me parece muy triste! :)

[Imthepanthom]

@ChrisMessu No arruines las canciones, Calle 13 es mierda

[Molkomuse]

@ChrisMessu como podes escuchar a radiohead por primera vez porque el tipo de calle 13 lo twiteo? No podes..

[Myxomatoso]

@Molkomuse es una falta de respeto :/

[chicoradioactivo]

@ChrisMessu Fuck Calle 13, just like @GlitcHead said, one day you will remember yourself as a moron cause you came here for that stupid reason. Radiohead don't need tweets.

[Hoggles49]

One of the most powerful jams of all time.

[Extraterrestrialize]

@Bammy125 You're complaining that 'we' are making assumtions about people when you're doing the exact same thing. You assume that ALL radiohead fans must be big headed and arrogant when really you've probably only met a few dick fans. I happen to love Lady Gaga. Yeah, I love Radiohead more, but I'm not going to look down on anyone who thinks differently. Radiohead has a HUGE fanbase and you couldn't possibly lump every fan into one group because they appeal to so many different kinds of people.

[LCHStateChamps]

I can't even come to enjoy a Radiohead song without bashing Lady Gaga on the first page of comments? Jesus Christ.

Lady Gaga makes great music. Radiohead makes great music.

I love this song. It really hit me in the right spot tonight.

[Maskell888]

Love the this shit, symbols, bass, attitude.... Radiohead!

[FlyBoyBigBlue]

Fkn A, the brass in this song is amazing, so chaotic yet completely holistic. As if at any minute it could all burst apart, but it's just holdin on.

[lackofwil2]

It's great up until the point cats started to fuck on the mixing board.

[wonton3030]

@lackofwil2 its the national anthem, show some respect.

[1965cyclone39]

i keep playing it.

[1965cyclone39]

hey

[1965cyclone39]

not another one. i try to limit myself on these songs so they last a long time before i am persuaded to hear another one. too much. i am still trying to process the first one.

[NoPurposeLightbulb]

The Star Spangled Banner doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the suggestions.
