RADIOHEAD Paranoid Android Reaction!! 

You guys should have listened to the album version. Or watched the actual video for this song. So much better then this version.!! One of my favorite radio head songs

This sounded strange. What version is this?? Horrible mix and the official video is one of the best things about the song. Must be a copyright thing.

You sure chose a weird version to react to. The studio version is much better in my opinion.

Thom was on a bus one time and a fat lady wearing gucci started screaming at the bus driver. Thats where that lyric comes from. This was 3 seperate unfinished songs that Radiohead strung together as a tribute to "Happiness is a warm gun" by the Beatles. Peace!

Why in the hell do you guys so often choose these oddball/live versions of songs to listen to instead of the album tracks/singles? Nobody heard that version of that song back then. The original one, as in the awesome music video they released with it, is what you should have heard/watched. This is a pointless reaction.

maybe you should listen the Studio version (cause this one is not) and the official video :) happy christmas to you from Paris !

You know, I really do love this channel. I want to say that first and foremost. There's no hatred or animosity at all in what I'm about to say, but... How on earth do you guys go about picking the actual track once you figure out the song you're doing? If this had only happened once or twice, I wouldn't think anything of it. But this has to be the, like, 15th or 20th time I've been excited to watch you react to a CLASSIC, critically acclaimed track from the annals of rock history and it's some version other than the original one it was known for. I mean, was this particular version specifically requested? If so, I think it's a bad call. But at least that would make sense. If this is happening over, and over, and over again on accident, can I make the humble suggestion to select a couple of your more loyal and knowledgeable followers as track-selection consultants? I know I don't speak for everyone, but clearly there are plenty of people here that feel the same way I do whenever I click a video to watch my favorite reactors react to a piece of musical history and when the track starts it's some complete other version which only that band's die-hard fans have heard. It's just a bit.....daunting. All of that being said, I still love the channel. Hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas!

Radiohead's OK Computer has been my favorite all time album for over 2 decades at this point; it's also my favorite cultural product of all time. It's the closest I've come to a piece of art being like a religious experience. Hope you guys listen to the whole album at some point and give it it's due. It warned against the dehumanizing effects of technological advancement and the destructive effects of Neoliberlism in 1997 - and has been proven right in almost every regard. Thanks so much for listening to this song. This is the live version which is undeniably great, but for the full effect, you gotta listen to the studio version of Paranoid Android (which, incidentally, was recorded in one take).

The lead singer thom Yorke mentions rain in several songs. It seems he likes rain. The interlude to this song, the rain down part, I’ve always thought was him finding comfort in the rain. Then, “ that’s it Sir, you’re leaving” is him being drawn back into the every day reality in society, which is hell to him.

This is probably my favorite radiohead song, but I'm unfamiliar with this whack version. There's some things just kinda weirdly off about it. I think even the tempo is a few bpm fast. Kinda odd.

This isnt the studio version. BTW your faces are priceless like WTF was that, yes thats the reaction. Radiohead it usually completely alien to anything you've heard. As you listen more to them you realize their uniqueness and genius. This song has to do with a night out and drinking with your coworkers and trying to fit in as an introvert I think. Please react to I might be wrong, I know many will suggest other more popular songs from them, but if you are curious, I might be wrong will intrigue you.

Wow this version was horribly mixed. Should've gone with the album version

Radiohead- Street Spirit (Fade Out) next please. Or maybe creep.

ahhh my ears. get the normal version. but it's too late, you've ruined it

This entire song is so bizarre and uniquely put together. Even after all the years it’s still striking

Paranoid android was a name given in mockery to the depressed robot in hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.

"It's not a yuppie; its a guppie I was thinking about" Ah, Weird fishes! Lol

this is one of the most honest, raw and deep lyrics ever written for a song, so much truth has been said there. Music isn't dead yet thanx to this band.

Thank you, for doing their awesome live version!

I'd forgotten just how good this song is Merry Christmas guy

It's Christmas day in the uk. Happy Christmas you guys.

Confusion is, absolutely, the best place to start with a Radiohead song. There is simply far too much to take in on one listening. Songs that are interesting and unsettling the first listen are the growers you end up loving.

Sorry guys, I"ll have to be honest. This must be wrongest pick of a version in the history of your channel. The original version everybody knows sounds so different. Anyway, merry christmas!

vin and sori thought they could troll us with a bad quality live audio, but radiohead trolls em with the most confusing song they listened to

Thanks for the shout out guys! I'm not that bad btw. ;) Much Love & Respect! \m/

From their third album on, I've started thinking of Radiohead as this generations Pink Floyd. The music they're making is just so different from anything else that I hear.

I'll say it again Let Down is their best give it a listen guys

unborn chicken voices is probably code for nascent song ideas in his head.

Megadeth: Five Magics or Take No prisoners

Great reaction guys.

The dust and, the screamin', the Yuppies networkin' and, the panic, the vomit, the panic, the vomit... God loves his children, God loves his children... Yeahhhh! And you were both like " WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK!?" 😲😂

LOL perfect first reaction to Radiohead. Keep listening. They will grow on you.

I laughed out loud when i saw you're reaction......lol

I’ll never understand why some reactors choose live versions of songs to react too. Even weirder in this case when the music video for this song is so iconic and well known.

Love you guys but both Radiohead songs you have done are very different sounding versions. I get your worried about song getting blocked. Great live versions is from “live at the basement” . Reckon you might like the MTV joint video clip of a Radiohead song called All i Need” video definitely causes discussion.

Merry Christmas guys. What a present.

Oh my God, that drum on the intro sounds so sick! Where is it from???

It's very scary at the way some people interpret music

Btw new Boobie design in the works Edit: no. Leah and jay and I are now all leading the core 😂😂😂

Radiohead’s lyrics are like walking through Times Square and grabbing sentences from every person passing by talking and all of the signs and advertisements everywhere...schizophrenic Dadaist poetry.

It's like playing it to your grandad and he says … well its got a good beat ….!

Thanks Vin and Sori, you'r a good company tonight 😊

He sings like a droning meditation mantra . If you werent paranoid before he started you will be after ...

HOW DO YOU GET IN A CREW? I'm already a patreon sub (Natalie V) with me being chronically ill not sure how much I can participate so I would need a understanding crew .....

You finally got the metaphor at the end! Thom uses the Alice in wonderland metaphor a lot. Just look at the picture(logo) for Radiohead that’s in the video you’re watching.

Unborn chicken voices = egg shakers. The band were playing around with percussion devices while Thom was trying to sleep.

Radiohead ok computer is a masterpiece

20 years and the unborn chicken voice still in my head

I was so excited...then the song kicks in...My enthusiasm plummeted so hard my neighbors could hear the disappointment .... Do yourself a favor n hear the studio version please....

I want to share this song's meaning to me with you- I was in college when 9/11 happened. Many of my friends were in school in New York and I could not get in touch with any of them that day. I went about my business, going to my classes, not fully understanding what was happening. I went to work that night after school and was watching the black and white TV in the restaurant break room, seeing replays of the planes hitting the towers over and over and over again. When I was driving home after work that night this CD was playing in my car. The gas stations had lines around the block. No one knew what was going to happen around the world and I didn't know if my friends were even safe in NYC. And Paranoid Android started playing in my car. "Rain down from a great hight. That's it sir, you're leaving, the crackle of pigskin, the dust and the screaming, the yuppies networking, the panic, the vomit, God loves his children". And I broke down and sobbed on my steering wheel. That was when it all hit me. Thank you for what you do. You are magic.

Live session by the sound of things but still intriguing take. Vinand Sori, do you remember Deathspell Omega? There is a song called "Carnal Malefactor" which contains in it a Hymn called "Hymn of The Cherubin". Though I'd throw something out into the ether of the comment section

You guys have an unprecedented ability to react to non-studio versions of songs 😂

When you listen to it again, definitely listen to the album version. It’s mixed much better. You’d be able to hear each part with more clarity.

As far as being paranoid goes... crackheads are next level. There was a dope den down the toad from where I grew up. That shack must have had 30 windows.. and each one would be occupied by a pair of eyes watching the outside world. Straight Scooby Doo painting action.

Alice In Chains: Them Bones

Hahaha! This was the greatest reaction! I love this band!

i dont want to be the guy complaining about the live version, obviously its been said enough, but just a suggestion. if a specific live version was not recommended and you cant put up the studio version then just respond to the studio version without putting it in the video and link the song, do a countdown and we can start it in a separate tab. just a suggestion, all i hope is that you dont let Radiohead pass too easily, they are one of my all time favorites. merry Christmas!

This is another one of those songs that I think would make more sense in the context of a whole album listen. And you guys would be giving yourself quite the treat to listen to this album. OK Computer is one of the greatest albums of all time, and not just in my opinion. It's widely considered one of the greatest albums of all time.

OK Computer is leagues better than Kid A, change my mind.

Vin it's time to step up and do Judas Priest - Judas Rising :D Merry Christmas to you old folks ;)

That was a weird version of that song but I can live with it (Was it live?). The other Radiohead song you did, "Karma Police" came from this same album, Ok Computer from 1997, which was inmediately considered as a classic and one of the best rock albums ever. Congratulations on your 86 k subscribers. Please react to "Nothing Is Not" by Morbid Angel and "In Their Darkened Shrines" by Nile.

Paranoid Android is a reference to Marvin the paranoid Android from the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy

This is one of the most amazing songs I heard in my life. "ok computer" It must be in the top 10 of the best albums in rock history.

I know this is the first time hearing the song. I just wish you had found the official album mix of this this song or the official music video. This has had an odd music and vocal mix to it. It is the same singer but just an odd mix.

For everyone asking they probably chose this version because the studio would likely get blocked

awesome 👏🏻 video

Check out their album in rainbows. It's beautiful. Am so happy radiohead got into the rock Hall of Fame. 😆

This is one of my top five, among the best songs ever.

Great video guys! I'm pretty sure this is live. I think that this song is about someone who is powerless in their life fantasizing about seizing control and getting revenge. I also say most radiohead songs are more focused on the music than the lyrics. Radiohead songs need digestion since they are musically and thematically complicated.

An argument between couples is not the best invite to the one and only Radiohead

I love this song

I always took this song about the battle between Humans and Androids. Humans pray for rain to help them in their fight. The line "god loves his children, yeah". That's why they are Paranoid Androids.

Jeff Buckley - Mojo Pin

Great song! Epic album!

This is some weird version of the song.

You gotta hear the Radiohead song "Nude". The live version they have on youtube is brilliant so you won't have to worry about getting the studio version.

have another listen to this or preferably the studio version and note the layers of those instruments. its a beautiful and scathing composition.

Have you guys ever covered Interpol?

Album version or nothing here, nothing short of perfection. Impossible to nail live. Pls listen to album version before you rate! Merry Christmas from Australia

first, thank u, i really like your reaction channel, you have reacted to most of my favorite songs .most people may say that creeps is "the song" of them but its not for me , for me paranoid android is "the song"of them .so that why i was really excited when i saw this video tittle, but i dont expect that you guys react to this live version. the studio version definitely would be so much better than this

i think the chickens are a metaphor for unborn children yet to born into the chicken factory/rat race.

"It's confusing to me" was probably said by the people in pink floyd era too, well... :D

I think you are taking the word chicken to literal

Down - bury me in smoke. It’s time for some more Anselmo

Merry xmas from nu zilind..could ya try nothing as it seems by pearl jam..churs guys

Creep is probably their most famous song, but Stop Whispering was the first one I heard and is still my favorite. Love the twist ending of this video, as far as your ratings.

ALL i want for Christmas is a reaction to OVERKILL who tend the fire !!!

The song is about Marvin the Paranoid Android from Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy iirc

It's Christmas and you still upload? :O React to Queen - the prophet's song 💖

why this version? :( but, sooo many amazing radiohead songs. nice dream, my personal favourite.

“Is a yuppie that little fish” Sori 2018

Radiohead - Paranoid Android Lyrics (from genius . com) [Verse 1] Please, could you stop the noise I'm trying to get some rest From all the unborn chicken voices In my head [Hook] What's that? (I may be paranoid, but not an android) What's that? (I may be paranoid, but not an android) [Verse 2] When I am king You will be first against the wall With your opinion Which is of no consequence at all [Hook] What's that? (I may be paranoid, but not an android) What's that? (I may be paranoid, but not an android) [Verse 3] Ambition makes you look pretty ugly Kicking, squealing, Gucci little piggy You don't remember You don't remember Why don't you remember my name? Off with his head, man Off with his head, man Why don't you remember my name? I guess he does [Bridge] Rain down, rain down Come on, rain down on me From a great height From a great height, height Rain down, rain down Come on, rain down on me From a great height From a great height, height That's it, sir, you're leaving (Rain down) The crackle of pigskin (Rain down) The dust and the screaming (Come on, rain down) The yuppies networking (On me) The panic, the vomit (From a great height) The panic, the vomit (From a great height) God loves his children God loves his children, yeah [Outro]

You guys should listen to “Climbing up the Walls” by Radiohead from the same album. It’s about the singer’s experience working in an insane asylum and it is both frightening and glorious. Obviously listen to the studio version.

Also if you weren't aware Jonny Greenwood who plays guitars and other instruments in Radiohead has made film scores for There will be blood, Phantom Thread and others too. Pretty talented bunch I'll say

For everyone who complains about the audio, radiohead is very strict on copyrights. This is prob the only video they can react to without getting strikes.

That's what happens with paranoid people. they see danger everywhere. They tend to think that most people are against them.

Please react to Angra - The Shadow Hunter Old band from the new lead guitarist of Megadeth Brazilian metal

Even though I first heard it in 1997, I'm sure I had the same reaction first time too! After 2 or 3 listens, it may well begin to dawn on you it's actually one of the most genius pieces of rock ever written. The studio version obviously sounds more polished, but I like this one too. It comes across pretty well, and the "rain down" is awesome.

My first time watching and I bailed after Break My Stride. I just wanted you to get on with it. Sometimes it’s like that.

I'm just checking if people already started complaining about the version you chose.
