[edit] Overview
The song was previously known as "Open Pick," a title it was given provisionally when it was performed during Radiohead's 2006 tour.[3] The song describes the initial fears and thrills of an encounter between two people on a night out.[citation needed] The lyric, "the beat goes round and round," is also found in Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam's #1 R&B single "Let the Beat Hit 'Em" from 1991.[citation needed]
The song has spent several weeks as one of the 100-most-played songs on US modern rock radio, so far peaking at #69,[4] receiving more support than any other In Rainbows song with the exception of "Bodysnatchers", which has hit #24 on the Billboard Modern Rock Chart.[5]
[edit] Music video
The black-and-white music video features the five members of Radiohead playing the song in a room with footage taken from webcams mounted to bicycle helmets on each member's head. The video was directed by Adam Buxton and has recently been uploaded to the band's new YouTube page on 28 November 2007. It is the first Radiohead video to feature the whole band since 2000's "Idioteque" video, and the first video for a single to feature the whole band since 1996's "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" video, though the 1997 video for "Paranoid Android" did feature an animated cameo from the band.
