This doesn't really have to do with the meaning of the song, but I always thought it was interesting that Radiohead had a song named Paranoid Android. It seemed that they were fans of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy because of Marvin the Paranoid Android who's one of the better characters of the book. Anyway, for the upcoming movie release I thought that I'd read the book again. Lo and behold! At the end of Chapter 24 the disease myxomatosis is referenced. Maybe there's something to this? Who knows. What makes Radiohead interesting is that we don't really know what the songs are about and we can use our own imaginations. I think that's what they're really trying to do - using art to make us think.
