about this song

A song touching on Radiohead’s relationship with the media and their critics, and how fame affected what they set out to achieve. It is permeated by a dirty, aggressive riff with heavy percussion, while Yorke’s lyrical delivery portrays elements of anguish, with moments of confusion and hesitation. Yorke is comparing certain people involved in the critical reception of the band’s work, and the perception of their work in the public eye, with rabbits suffering from the viral infection “myxomatosis”.
