I found the explanation for this song: "Thom Yorke explained in concert that he was at the grocery store with his girlfriend and after he picked out a carton of eggs and paid for them she dropped the entire carton in the parking lot putting them in the car. He wasn't able to catch it in time and his girlfriend yelled out in excitement and regret. He told her to just get in the car and sit down. So when he got home he wrote this song."

@gurn73 this was an impromptu recording by Thom sitting in his living room messing around...you can hear his girlfriend chopping veggies in the background. Pretty fucking amazing.

@ThomComputer Something I just stumbled upon. Take it with a grain of salt.

@IanLeoden Thought Thom and Rachel were vegans :/

@dynospectrum yeah most of the b sides alone are way better than most bands a sides lol

I used to think it sounded like a typewriter in the background. Chopping veg. Rock 'n roll!

@IanLeoden That's hilarious! But it's ruined it for me. I thought it was about letting go of guilt/regret or grief, not eggs. But there we are. Apparently, 'Yesterday' by the Beatles started off as "Scrambled eggs, oh my dear you have such lovely legs." Maybe eggs are the gateway to genius...

@dynospectrum Listen to the piano version of Fog (here on YouTube), it's amazing. Often, they overproduce stuff (like Spinning Plates) and the stripped down versions are better.
