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
I recognise this version, it's from a BBC live music show, Later . . . with Jools Holland, which is why he doesn't sing the swear word in the lyrics and just fumbles it.
Do Hoeijmans I believe this isn’t the only time these two have reacted to the wrong version of a song. It’s a shame, they should let the viewers send them the right video
@@vladlr There arent dumb, radiohead is that type of band that confuses people at first because they are so original. I had the same type of reaction as they did when I first radiohead I wasnt sure If I liked the band or not but they made me curious.
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.
Ah man.... I'm normally into studio versions first. I've been to so many gigs and been disappointed with some of my favourite live bands. The Paranoid Android Live performance on Jools Holland is amazing though.
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!
Yeah. I would honestly prefer a silent reaction to the real track rather than this weird demo. I don’t want it to discourage them from listening to all of the other amazing Radiohead songs out there 😭
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).
Got no problem with your analysis cause I agree with you despite the other comment you received! I'm 57 years old and Love the Whole album as well. Reminds me of what could've been with Floyd if Syd Barrett could've maintained his sanity!
@@xenophon343 Pink Floyd don't floped. But... Syd was without a doubt the most talented, artistic, visionary and couragous of all the band. Just imagine what they would achive if he don't burn out so soon. Maybe the others never leave his shadow and started to try to write songs, and they found out they are some of the best musicians ever, maybe they had that urge and just leave the band, and never shared with each others, But maybe... Maybe... Syd nurished the band vision, and help them out, and they made something ever greater than they did. Honestly, i think they never leave Syd shadow, and never became the band they became. But Syd was always the greatest in the band, all they ever achieved after he leaving was just a band struggling with losing his leader and mentor. Even when they are in the top spot, biggest band ever, they are still a band in the shadow of Syd. For them at least, the rest of the world don't even know who Syd was.
@AJ With all due respect, it's more than music to me, my man. Like I intimated in my original post, it was uncannily prescient about what we'd sacrifice if we'd allow ourselves to becomes subservient to the whims of technological change. It's the most complex Prog Rock album I know of, despite being conflicted about being Prog. And it's got some of the best and funniest one liners in all of popular music.
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.
Isaac Knicley I think it’s a live version? It’s irritating how they pick the wrong version so many times for example when they fucked up the NIN Hurt vid as well
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!
For real. Radiohead’s live performances usually feature a lot of rawness and improv...not the best way to hear them for the first time. Love your channel!
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 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.
It has to do with a night out and you meet a bunch of mean drunk people. Thom said that was the inspiration when he described a event happen similar to what I described.
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.
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.
Lyrics are 1% of a song. Lyrics only seems important in music because very little of the population can actually interpret actual musical choices and artistry by the performers.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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]
and Grace from "Mystery White Boy"- none of these reactors have done it yet and none of them know what theyre missing... also Dream Brother from LIve a L'Olympia
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.
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!?" 😲😂
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....
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.
It's a concept album addressing the downside and fear of the future from technology, it's about the control due to technology you would have to do a whole album review of ok computer to understand this song.best album of the last 15 yrs.
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.
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.
Their music has stretched decades now. They just get better and better. Try out their live from the basement, their joy division/smiths covers, thom Yorkes suspiria soundtrack and lastly their album a moon shaped pool.
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.
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.
Cosmic Sea or even cover versions done by completely different people haha. I think its to avoid copyright issues. They are smart enough to figure out what the normal versions are.
"Rain down on me" is a reference to the great flood, you are correct. And "God loves His children" is a facetious statement, because He loves his children, and yet he killed the mass majority of them in the great flood.
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.
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.
That was an interesting version of the song that I haven't ever heard. Radiohead is a pretty fantastic, very polarising band. The songs that sealed the deal for me are Climbing Up the Walls and Let Down, a pair that shows their diverse style as well as really great vocals. Have fun with these guys, there's a ton of good stuff.
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.
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.
Before I read the lyrics I thought he said, ‘Rain down on me for the great I Am,’ and that he was talking about the flood during Noah’s Ark and that the part about ‘God loves his children... yea,’ was a sarcastic remark about the whole situation.
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
The video is so great, probably my favorite music video of all time. Such wierd video as well, love the animation.
True!!! Shouldn't have fond for this version
The Jools Holland version is one of their best live performances.
for sure, this version was kind of like a sensory overload for me. while the others are much much nicer
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.
its a live version
It's good for a live version, as it threw me off for a while wondering why it sounded different.
It’s good from where I’m sitting👨🏻🎤
I recognise this version, it's from a BBC live music show, Later . . . with Jools Holland, which is why he doesn't sing the swear word in the lyrics and just fumbles it.

You sure chose a weird version to react to. The studio version is much better in my opinion.
yeah its a bit exaggerated.
What even is this? A demo? It doesn't sound like a live version.
They re DUMB

I think it's because the copyright is really bad with radiohead, but it's true that are so much better live versions of paranoid android than this one

Simple. Radiohead/Led/Beatles/Floyd etc, own stock in Vimeo, their studio songs get blocked on youtube.
Paranoid Android is a reference to Marvin the paranoid Android from the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy
It's Christmas day in the uk. Happy Christmas you guys.
LOL perfect first reaction to Radiohead. Keep listening. They will grow on you.

And I broke down and sobbed on my steering wheel. That was when it all hit me.

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]
Great song! Epic album!
Alice In Chains: Them Bones
Check out their album in rainbows. It's beautiful. Am so happy radiohead got into the rock Hall of Fame. 😆
Unborn children's voices in my head
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.

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....
Btw new Boobie design in the works
Edit: no. Leah and jay and I are now all leading the core 😂😂😂
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.
Live from the basement is definitely on of the best live shows ever recorded!!!! imo
It's a concept album addressing the downside and fear of the future from technology, it's about the control due to technology you would have to do a whole album review of ok computer to understand this song.best album of the last 15 yrs.

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
20 years and the unborn chicken voice still in my head
Shudder to Think’s “Hit Liquor” or Earthquakes Come Home”
He sings like a droning meditation mantra . If you werent paranoid before he started you will be after ...
unborn chicken voices is probably code for nascent song ideas in his head.
Hahaha! This was the greatest reaction! I love this band!
Original version : 11/10❗️
Ok Computer : one of the best albulm of all time❗️
For everyone asking they probably chose this version because the studio would likely get blocked
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.
Their music has stretched decades now. They just get better and better. Try out their live from the basement, their joy division/smiths covers, thom Yorkes suspiria soundtrack and lastly their album a moon shaped pool.
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.
“Is a yuppie that little fish” Sori 2018
One of the best pieces of music ever.
have another listen to this or preferably the studio version and note the layers of those instruments. its a beautiful and scathing composition.
That was a horrible version.
The song is about Marvin the Paranoid Android from Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy iirc
An argument between couples is not the best invite to the one and only Radiohead
Merry Christmas guys. What a present.
this song is a work of art!
Who loves people being confused to Radiohead?
Radiohead. Confusing the masses since 1985
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.
You guys have an unprecedented ability to react to non-studio versions of songs 😂
Cosmic Sea or even cover versions done by completely different people haha. I think its to avoid copyright issues. They are smart enough to figure out what the normal versions are.
This is some weird version of the song.
ALL i want for Christmas is a reaction to OVERKILL who tend the fire !!!
"Rain down on me" is a reference to the great flood, you are correct. And "God loves His children" is a facetious statement, because He loves his children, and yet he killed the mass majority of them in the great flood.
Hey guys. Listen to Radiohead Live from the Basement. You’ll be blown away! Really!
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.
I laughed out loud when i saw you're reaction......lol
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.
That was an interesting version of the song that I haven't ever heard. Radiohead is a pretty fantastic, very polarising band. The songs that sealed the deal for me are Climbing Up the Walls and Let Down, a pair that shows their diverse style as well as really great vocals. Have fun with these guys, there's a ton of good stuff.
This version is for a hard core fans, not for a firts listeners.
Oasis - Live Forever (live Wembley 2000)
Yes please!
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.
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.
The best band alive today
Before I read the lyrics I thought he said, ‘Rain down on me for the great I Am,’ and that he was talking about the flood during Noah’s Ark and that the part about ‘God loves his children... yea,’ was a sarcastic remark about the whole situation.
welcome to RadioHead....who knows what it s all about....its just Genius!!
Down - bury me in smoke. It’s time for some more Anselmo
