Try this at home! Yes, an experiment for this song! Get out your vynil players, and put onm a 12" record (any at all). Then, get the spike-mic thingy, and put it so it scratches against the outside of a record. Then, turn on the player and turn up the volume. And there you go! A live recording of Useful Idiot, in your own home! (Turn it up to 45 speed for best results)
Yep, this is what the band did to record 'Useful Idiot'. |

Apparently you get this effect behind some waterfall or something. Nice note from Adam Jones there. |

The screaming at the end cost his voice literally 3 weeks. That's why MJK never wants to perform it live. I suppose that would make sense when he's talking about the fans. The screaming sucked all of his singing ability dry and that's what his fans wanted. Well that's now how I see the song. |

For some reason, the booklet doesn't have lyrics for Pink Maggit. It stops at track 10 (I dunno about the limited edition, though). |

I didn't know wanking was a UK-only term. Well, at least you didn't refer to us as 'english' people. |

What's all this about playing the song backwards then? I've heard that Jimmy says satanistic stuff really clearly. I'm gonna look for one to download now. Or I'll rip it to wav and reverse it manually. Hmm. Any ideas? |

Get an mp3. It's off Radio 1 from here in UK, but you can take off those voices I suppose. The video rules too... both of them =D |

| Radiohead – Street Spirit (Fade Out) Lyrics
| 22 years ago

Quote from Thom:
"'Street Spirit' is our purest song, but I didn't write it.... It wrote itself. We were just its messengers... Its biological catylysts. It's core is a complete mystery to me... and (pause) you know, I wouldn't ever try to write something that hopeless... All of our saddest songs have somewhere in them at least a glimmer of resolve... 'Street Spirit' has no resolve... It is the dark tunnel without the light at the end. It represents all tragic emotion that is so hurtful that the sound of that melody is its only definition. We all have a way of dealing with that song... It's called detachment... Especially me.. I detach my emotional radar from that song, or I couldn't play it... I'd crack. I'd break down on stage.. that's why its lyrics are just a bunch of mini-stories or visual images as opposed to a cohesive explanation of its meaning... I used images set to the music that I thought would convey the emotional entirety of the lyric and music working together... That's what's meant by 'all these things are one to swallow whole'.. I meant the emotional entirety, because I didn't have it in me to articulate the emotion... (pause) I'd crack.... Our fans are braver than I to let that song penetrate them, or maybe they don't realize what they're listening to.. They don't realize that 'Street Spirit' is about staring the fucking devil right in the eyes... and knowing, no matter what the hell you do, he'll get the last laugh...and it's real...and true. The devil really will get the last laugh in all cases without exception, and if I let myself think about that to long, I'd crack. I can't believe we have fans that can deal emotionally with that song... That's why I'm convinced that they don't know what it's about. It's why we play it towards the end of our sets. It drains me, and it shakes me, and hurts like hell everytime I play it, looking out at thousands of people cheering and smiling, oblivious to the tragedy of it's meaning, like when you're going to have your dog put down and it's wagging it's tail on the way there. That's what they all look like, and it breaks my heart.
I wish that song hadn't picked us as its catalysts, and so I don't claim it. It asks too much. (very long pause). I didn't write that song." |

If you've seen the video, then you'll know that that's true. All people on a WWTBAM spin-off "Who wants to be filthy stinking rich?" and all the contenstants are answering questions greedily about homeless people and racism etc. |
