I hope there is more. This could be great in a big thing, but kind of a sad single

What's interesting about the video is that if you're of a certain age and British the video is based on a children's animation series called Trumpton from the late 1960s which was obviously fairly innocuous, although did feature an alcoholic miller and some rather enthusiastic firemen... so it has a strangely disturbing effect throughout to those of us who can recall the original series. I doubt it was ever shown outside the UK. It's not something I'd recommend; there are far better animations from that period. If you feel like another piece of media intertextuality, the band Half Man, Half Biscuit recorded their own humorous songs based on the series for their Trumpton Riots EP... but again the jokes are rather niche and only make sense to a certain section of British society... I'm rather surprised by Radiohead's choice of video; their videos are usually much more universal in style.

See this song is actually catchy! I can dig it. I don't remember either.



Am I cool now?
