The most significant part of the song is how the opening "Fitter, happier" turns into "Fitter, healthier." Happiness isn't the point anymore. Like the pig in the cage, it's now just about growing docile and fatter, while staying in good enough health to be viable once it's time for slaughter.
@Matthew O'Leary Happiness have never been the point as it is nowadays, now more people have their basic needs supplied to be able of think about themselves.
someone, in a documentary, said that the final part about the pig in a cage refers to intensive farming. Well I always thought that Thom saw people as pigs in cages full of antibiotics. and he was not wrong.
I'm in college right now and stuff like this chills me to the bone. I don't want to have the lifestyle like the person described in this song. A life like that just isn't worth living in my opinion. Unfortunately, millions of others before me have said the same thing, only to fall right into that lifestyle. That is the part that frightens me.
Oh wow, blast from the past here. I'll say this much some aspects of this line do apply to my current life (mostly the "good stuff" like healthy, gym going, etc.) and it's certainly true I'm not living the life I dreamed I would be living when i was in university. However, I also think I managed to avoid the sense of hopeless, drab complacency depicted in this song. I've lived abroad in three different countries for the last nine years, having set foot in my home country for a single digit number of weeks over that time. I've definitely lived a more interesting and adventurous life than many of my peers have from high school and university. I'm not there with regard to retirement planning and I could certainly use a greater sense of long term planning and vision. When the pandemic restrictions were at their peak, I felt my life settling into that drab complacency, but now that things are open, I'm traveling again, having new experiences, and feeling fulfilled again. Looking back on this post now, I feel my college self would in some ways be disappointed in me, but also recognize that I did manage to live a life far more dynamic than depicted in this song.
@@sonikuu113 ah man i am so happy I didn’t cause to go into a depression or something. I am happy you broke the cycle :) . It’s okay to disappoint your younger self a little. It’s impressive that you kept your account for 12 years
"Fond but not in love" has really hit home in different ways throughout my entire life since it was released. Seriously, every time I come back to this song as years go by, it's with a different perspective.
"No Paranoia". The speaker of this song is actually the opposer of the Paranoid in Paranoid android, as Paranoid (protagonist) doesn't follow The Speaker's rules and commands, while others, the Androids, does obey. Paranoid criticized the Androids in Paranoid Android of them being so similar, shallow and lacking any uniqueness. "Kicking and squealing Gucci little piggy" is actually the Androids, "A Pig, in a cage, on antibiotics.". Notice how the Speaker appears somewhere around the beginning of Paranoid Android saying on the background repeatedly "I may be paranoid, but not an android" possibly teasing the Paranoid for being paranoid and a coward, a loser
To me, the robotic voice at the beginning of Paranoid Android is the Paranoid themself, trying to assure themself that they may be a paranoid, but they aren't an android, or maybe even outright mocking the Androids who do obey

I remember when I listened to Ok Computer for the first time, this was the first time in the album where I turned it off and took a break before listening again. This song is one of the most depressing songs to ever come out of Radiohead.
This is just so in tune with the song. I've never seen any other video produced by fans or even by radiohead themselves that fit the mood and message of the song so perfectly.
One of my favourite "songs", I see it being about the fear of not belonging. If you decide to conform with everything and join the crowd so that no one will be able to point at you and laugh at your weakness then you end up "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics", submissive and captive to the expectations of others. If you decide to be like everyone else it will make you bitter in the end and you will end up like one of "them" that do point out weakness in others and laugh.
its really unbelievable, how the words fit together and give one detailled but ceherent image. Nothing is out of place, yet everything is surprising, also because it seems to come really from inside of my head (which is something, that I really love Radiohead for in general). But its justs as unbelievable, that the maker of this video managed to make a video that absolutely fits the song and my imaginations coming from it. Truely Great! Thank you!
This music basically defines postmodern society. A bunch of people who swear to be aware of their daily lives, but actually are slaves of the materialistic world that sabotages them every day. Unfortunately I'm also a victim of this, in fact we all are, because there's no way out of this postmodern reality.
mhm I think that was the point. even the other sad songs in ok computer have osme catchiness to them, this song is more subtle and the robotic voice just coldly reading the lyrics make it the most disturbing and uncomfortrable.
“The ability to laugh at weakness” is a sentence that really stuck with me ever since i heard it. That line feels like it explains what you will receive if you live the life the voice is talking about, and that’s it. This is the life that everyone strives for, but is it really what everyone wants? This life is not about happiness or love. It’s about money, achievement and being better then everyone else. In other words, being able to laugh at the weakness of everyone that’s under you. Is that really what a “perfect” life is? Thom has said (i think) that the point of this song isn’t saying “this type of life is terrible, don’t be like this” but is simply stating what the quote “perfect life” is. And if it’s really the life people want.
You are a fine animator and you pulled it off with Radiohead's dark humour and spine chilling atmosphere. Seriously; this is brilliant - you reminded me why I liked it in the first place.
i wished someone would acknowledge the background: "thats what daddy does. especially what i'm saying comes before what he's saying. listen to me, and follow my procedure." plays on a loop
I love the end of this song. How the sound came to crash everything and softly let you hear "..and more productive". And then resumes the whole song in only 7 words. Priceless.
what a sad song... but so great. This describes a lot of things about human beigns better that a book or a picture. "Favors for favors, fond but not in love, charity standing orders". Really precise. And piano melody fits the hole thing perfectly. A lot of people can dislike RH, but nobody can say they are not original...
I had never listened to OK Computer, but I felt it as well...it seems the guy was predicting 100% what we live nowadays (even though this type of critical art always existed)
I mean the album is nihilstic and depressing. Everything we do is on repeat, animals do stuff on repeat so do we. Life isnt just work, it is an experience, which if you are an atheist you believe you only live once. I mean if the opposite was true we would also not like it. Humans dont like repetition regardless if we work dont work or whatever. The album in my opinion is suppose to be from a perspective of someone Paranoid and highly depressive and nihilistic and thus struggling to find a good balance between work life and your personal life. I also find some of the stuff in the album kind of a childish complaining. Especially in Paranoid Android, where he critisizes people for being the same even though his definition of "being the same" is just people who dont think like him or see the world like him(which might be the point but who knows) It is a fairly nihilistic album and to some extend even self-hating. People struggle finding happiness because people dont even know what makes them happy and then take on this depressive and nihilistic life style where nothing matters. People these days dont seem to get work can make you happy and you should try and find one which makes you happy, but if you cant that is alright, work is just work, it isnt inheretly suppose to be fun. Work came from the greek word ergon and latin word urgere which means bear down upon. Point being, work is a part of life and you should try and make it fulfulling if you cant that is alright you can do it just for money too and then have a hobby which are passionate about and you shouldnt take on this depressive nihilistic view of the world.
@@user-nb5uw5ui9i To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Radiohead. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of society most of the jokes will go over a typical listener's head. There's also Thom's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these songs, to realize that they're not just good music - they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Radiohead truly ARE idiots - of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Thom's existencial catchphrase "yesterday I woke up sucking on a lemon," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Thom's genius unfolds itself on their music player. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Radiohead tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only - and even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
I'd go as far as saying that these are the best lyrics ever written by Thom.. DISTURBING is the best word for that poem, but also incredible.. It left me with this empty feeling, like we're all just these creatures repeating the same fuckin routine. An the robot-voice adds something very creepy to it as well.. Love the three las sentences: "a pig, in a cage, on antibiotics".. This song changed my view of the world!!
Thinking about the fact that their are two perspectives that can be taken on by people who see this. One being, “holy shit I’m just a slave to the system. Oh well.”. And the other being, “I’ve been saying this all along, I wish people understood this, I wish they knew”.
If u listen to this and actually listen, its so sad. It almost makes me want to cry, because all these slogans are essentially what our lives amount to. The video also goes well with it, and increases that feeling. But in a good way
The Aldous Huxley's vision in "The Brave World" book. Maybe we are turning into a automaton society. 1.-you born 2.-you grew up and worked 3.- And you die By the way RadioHead Rocks!
People like you amaze me. People who are creeped out by things that shouldn't creep a person out. People who(for some reason) cannot understand a simple message behind something. Oh how i'd hate to be normal and so simple minded.
Hey man, just wanted to pop by and say - fantastic work on the visuals. It perfectly goes with the bleak, depressing cacophany of positivity that is Fitter Happier, and the rough sketch-style feels right at home on this album. This song probably changed my life and brought me out of a very deep and dark hole, and this video perfectly encapsulates the core of this song. Brilliant work, one of my favourite fan-made Radiohead music videos!
What a powerful piece. Sober and sad. Medicated and happy. A plastic grin, fake smile and happiness to be perfect, to be a good person. Self-sacrifice to contribute to Utopia. A medicated attempt to be accepted and acceptable. Just A Pig In a Cage On Antibiotics. You did the song justice with this video. Very well done.
I remember my friend told me that he was listening to karma police, and was excited to see what was next, then this song came up and he said it ruined the vibe that karma police was giving him
I made that point in saying - "it fits what classical Americana views as idealistic though." I like to cover all possibilities...I was also responding to someone who was talking about it as if it was supposed to be realistic.
I wasn't watching this video. I was on FB,and the happiest fucking ad on the planet came on,and I thought it was the song,and I didn't get how it was sad,and now I'm almost fucking crying and I get why it's sad. ;-;
Wow. As many have said, I've never seen anything so fitting for this track. There's something eerie about FH that I like a lot, and this video really displays that effortlessly.
people don’t realize how deep and tought-provoking this song is, it depicts how society imposes ideals that we don’t even necessarily like, but they expect us to respect them
A pig in a cage on antibiotics: I'm reading an article from (I guess) the new york times from my environmental class. It says, and I quote, "...a pig is being raised in a confined pen packed in so tightly with other swine that their curly tails have been chopped off so they won't bite one another. To prevent him from getting sick in such close quarters he is dosed with antibiotics...." circa 2009
Its a reminder about what society is, i think the message is that you shouldnt follow the crowd, you shouldn't conform . Perfect doesn't really mean "perfect". Perfect doesnt mean happy. Perfect doesnt mean right.
This concept is a metaphor as to how us humans force ourselves into living in society. Think. About. It. We live the lifestyle we force ourselves to live. I hate society.
Radiohead's Fitter Happier is basically the blueprint script for every self-improvement video...
self improvement
a lack of desire for overacomplishment
no new offers nor threats
a shower (of five minutes a day)
a small nuisance (to be fixed soon)
a pair, a smaller
a steady income of resources
imagination has no place
in a world that thinks for you
fall into place
fall into us
but please fall
The most significant part of the song is how the opening "Fitter, happier" turns into "Fitter, healthier." Happiness isn't the point anymore. Like the pig in the cage, it's now just about growing docile and fatter, while staying in good enough health to be viable once it's time for slaughter.
@Matthew O'Leary Happiness have never been the point as it is nowadays, now more people have their basic needs supplied to be able of think about themselves.
Also fitter, healthier confirms the "fitter" part doesn't mean having more fit body/mind/soul, but rather could be easily put into places.
someone, in a documentary, said that the final part about the pig in a cage refers to intensive farming. Well I always thought that Thom saw people as pigs in cages full of antibiotics. and he was not wrong.
Great point.
"I pig. In a cage. On antibiotics..." That last line has ALWAYS creeped me out...
Oh yeah for sure
are you still alive?
The ability.
To laugh.
At weakness.
schadenfreude
"will frequently check reddit" what a horrifying dystopia
This made me really sad for some reason, strangely relatable.
I'm in college right now and stuff like this chills me to the bone. I don't want to have the lifestyle like the person described in this song. A life like that just isn't worth living in my opinion.

This video is so well done that, at the beggining, I thought that it was the official Radiohead video.
Congratulations!!!

it feels like everytime i listen to this song a new line is added
"No chance of illness" that part really aged well.
i'm a bit late but this song fits this times better. wake up, go to work, consume, sleep, repeat. we are pigs in cages on antibiotics.

this makes me cry every time i see it. it's unbelievably realistic.
the simple piano music makes this song so sad...
"will not cry in public"
Did you notice that at the end its Healthier and not happier?

whoa, good job, this is a nice one.
Man.. this video is GORGEOUS!
It's the voices of the intercom in a hospital/mental facility
master piece
still cries at a good film
people don’t realize how deep and tought-provoking this song is, it depicts how society imposes ideals that we don’t even necessarily like, but they expect us to respect them
A pig in a cage on antibiotics: I'm reading an article from (I guess) the new york times from my environmental class. It says, and I quote, "...a pig is being raised in a confined pen packed in so tightly with other swine that their curly tails have been chopped off so they won't bite one another. To prevent him from getting sick in such close quarters he is dosed with antibiotics...." circa 2009
i couldnt imagine thom singing this song now
Its a reminder about what society is, i think the message is that you shouldnt follow the crowd, you shouldn't conform . Perfect doesn't really mean "perfect". Perfect doesnt mean happy. Perfect doesnt mean right.
This concept is a metaphor as to how us humans force ourselves into living in society.
Think.
About.
It.
We live the lifestyle we force ourselves to live.
I hate society.
impresionante made in a state of art thanks
awesome,,,dude,,this vid deserves a price
swolf - Thom Mac sounds very realistic in my opinon. When Radiohead be releasing their movies to come?
Also when he says "a pig" I instantly think of Animal Farm. Not sure if it was on purpose though.
god freaking brilliant man. you did a great job.
Still watching this video in 2022 what's good
its so depessing, its awesome
Thom Yorke,,, friggin genius
A little bit of Kafka is evident in this song.
lol, I'm glad my teacher didn't realize the two F words in A Wolf at the Door, I would have gotten in trouble too.
Brilliant. That REALLY brings the message across, loved it. 5 stars definitley
This may be the best video I have ever seen on youtube.
