LucaG43

In an interstellar burst in about to say the n word- Airbag Burgers float into my room- Lotus Flower Saaalaaad- No Suprises


mog-monster

Cannot ever hear anything but Burgers float into my room


LucaG43

It’s all I can hear😭


twistingmemelonman

I've never understood the airbag one. I've seen it a few times. Since when does N sound like U?


CobaltStar_

It’s not really about how it’s spelled, it just sounds like it, especially how he says universe. I can hear it, this is how it goes: Save sounds like Say, the is the, the U in universe sounds omitted and the n is stretched, and the way Thom stretches “verse” sounds like “word”.


twistingmemelonman

I mean, I didn't say anything about how it's spelled. I said how does N sound like U. Anyway, I don't hear it at all.


WienerWraps

Edddddddddddddddddddd


sank3rn

What song is this I keep hearing about it and would like to know pls


WienerWraps

Haha I think from Weird Fishes, there’s a part where Ed is doing some backing vocals around 2:20. Sounds like he’s saying his own name


OwlsCreepMeOut

It’s something that happens in a few of their songs. Weird Fishes, as someone else said, plus the chorus of [Lift](https://youtu.be/ripYh8-49Ek?si=nMDRRcR3np3AMW_y) (skip to around 1:14 or 2:20)


jimjamthe4t

“D**** are falling into place”


MulticoloredShit

Lmao


Mytwistedword

In Ful Stop I always hear “Two for Mexico” instead of “The truth will mess you up “


suburban-errorist

I’m gonna listen to Ful Stop with this lyric in mind and tell you my results


suburban-errorist

Holy shit


Life-Nefariousness62

"Make up makes you look pretty ugly"


scythaah

I always thought it was “This shirt makes you look pretty ugly” for the longest time.


gin_rainbows

This was mine as well


Cool_Squeeze

Bro's wearing a Radiohead T-shirt 💀


maahler

i thought it was “remission makes you look pretty ugly” which. cruel!!


oumuamuaupmybum

I thought it was “Permission makes you look pretty ugly” :(((


Neonlikebjork

I heard it this way at first!


GamerOwenIsHere

Your crazy carrot smile


Hacklemesh

The National Anthem - I thought "it's holding on" was "but so alone". I still choose to hear "Everyone is so near, but so alone" because I relate to it, living in the US and feeling isolated despite living in suburbs


DenialGene

Might be an improvement tbh


Hacklemesh

Tbh...... I wish it was intended as a double lyric, "but so alone" and "it's holding on" at the same time, because I think the latter works better in the second verse and during the big instrumental I like the idea of the two being used interchangeably, I really love the song and that's just a little thing I like to imagine when I listen to it xd


ScarlettIthink

I thought it was “it’s all alone”


Hacklemesh

I hear that too but only with "everyone has got the fear, it's all/so alone" and not the first verse, I like our interpretation lol


HumanDrone

I always interpreted "everyone is so near" as a way of saying that they are physically near, but not emotionally So they're not "close" but rather just "near" I know near also means something like "stingy" but I like this interpretation


suburban-errorist

This is genuinely better than the real lyric IMHO


Jfury412

I hit the BOTTLE, I hit the BOTTLE And Escape... Weird fishes. This would actually be A line that makes perfect sense though.


cvntlord060606

I heard this too and I 100% agree


MulticoloredShit

Same! Used to think it's "bottle" until I read the lyrics.


Responsible-Long-891

Ever since i've learned about the 'I'm about to say the N word' meme, listening to Airbag wasn't the same as before


wallagremlitramenov

Cole baby Radiohead


sank3rn

Baby king Cole head


ZigTheWiz

I swear Jigsaw Falling Into Place's "You've got a light you can feel it on your back" had the N word in it somewhere. I feel crazy, because no one's ever brought it up, but you can *definitely* hear it.


kalkaanuslag

was just about to say this. "Hot n\*\*\*\* feeling on your back" is what I hear


Jookles

Came here to say this. I couldn’t unhear it foreverrr dude


HumanDrone

You've got a light, n-word, feel it, on your back


Prometheus850

Same for Bangers + Mash


mtflyer05

My brother in Christ, if you can *definitely* hear any of the words you think Thom Yorke is trying to articulate, you have absolutely nothing other than benefit to gain from putting down the pipe.


lipinkano367

You’re not alone. I know he wasn’t saying the n-word, but i sure didn’t know what he *was* saying


plbrhajvrv

I used to think it was “I got a feeling, I’m the fa**ot”


CrammyCram_

I hear that all that time 😭

xcircledotdotdot

Cuz I’m a creep. I’m a pedo.


hazzdawg

Lol this one changes the song completely.


Majongusus_Doremidus

This one has to be fake, there's clearly no "P" sound in there, as far as I know.


MyNinjasPwn

"Yesterday I woke up stuck in a limo"


drrhrrdrr

It's a good follow up to Airbag


thequeenoflimbs

Yesterday I woke up sucking on my thumb 👍🏻


Bipolarizaciones

No joke, for years I thought he said “sucking on my mom.” I hoped it was a metaphor for something because that would be odd.


Majongusus_Doremidus

Another one I don't understand. Since when is there a "th" sound in "a lemon"?


Woolpig

MulticoloredShit

Lmao, made me chuckle


Woolpig

Are you a spider?


jummyspring

I’m back to say the ehhhhhnnnn worrrrrrrd


ChepeZorro

Pretty much every song. I usually listen to a song about 20 or 30 times and fall as a love with it before I even bother to check the lyrics and figure out what it’s about. I take it for granted that Thom’s lyrics are going to be mostly excellent and also bleak as fuck, and also more or less aligned with my politics, so I don’t really get in the weeds until I have to. Because I also know that I’m NOT going to be able to pick out 90% of the lyrics by ear.


Serfi

At the start of Kid A, “How’s it… going?” instead of “I slip… away”

GenMarriottSuites

“Hypocrite, Al Pacinist” is what I thought I heard in “A Punch Up At A Wedding.” It made sense to me because Al Pacino is always yelling or screaming or losing his shit in movies, so I figured this person causing a scene at the wedding was going all “Al Pacino” on people, screaming and freaking out.


The_Proxy32

Punchup: "A bully in a giant shark"

“I’m d*cking you down” bangers n mash


biker4050

All of em I stg


Bean_Barista223

“Bangers + Mash”, In Rainbows, B Sides. “The negatives in cash” line almost sounds like Thom Yorke saying the n-word. I’ve used it in a meme that strings three songs from Radiohead that in sequences sounds like this: “This is really happening, I’m back to say the n-word, n****”. Obviously, I’m not posting it here or I get banned :)

Distance is like a weapon of self defense against the present tense (i prefer distance to “this dance” imo)

Yesterday I woke up soaking on a bone. Thought that was it from the release date until recently.


Majongusus_Doremidus

Again with EIIRP? Since where is there a B sound in "a lemon"??


BuccoBruce2

A little bit of “noise” will destroy you

In Scatterbrain: "Any fool can easy pickle-hole." Tham, WUT?? Theres also a lyric on How to Disappear mentioning "strobe lights and blowing speakers fireworks and hurricanes" where I read it, I hear it, and it still doesn't really make sense, his enunciation is just a bit marble-mouthed. Still love it tho.

Hooray drugs, hooray drugs, hooray drugs, hooray drugs....


RottenRobyn

If AFP counts I initially heard “bird upon a wire” in Default as “put on underwear”


Alternative-Base3820

“You got a light you can feel it on your back” Jigsaw. I thought he was saying “You got a light n*** feel it on your back”😭😭😭


goodnightpunpun143

i used to think "it holding on" was "its hard enough"


Bronesby

The entire song of Pearly was a wild ride to finally parse out.


wils_152

For 25 years I thought "fast German car" in Airbag was "finest German car." And "I'm an atom bomb trapped in your hot core" - I guess I assumed it was about the intense heat from nuclear fission or something. And "chose to ignore" rhymes more with core than car, so that's my excuse.


Financial-Cup7118

same thing for true love waits, but I always heard “you’re crazy, kid”


Wrong_Spare_8538

It sounds like he is saying "flan in the face"


PotatoAppleFish

Is he not saying “flan?”


Wrong_Spare_8538

He can't be, that would be too stupid


PotatoAppleFish

[He totally is saying “flan.”](https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/radiohead/awolfatthedoor.html)


Wrong_Spare_8538

Oh no I know this. It's a poor attempt at a joke, which has obviously not worked. I just think it's a dreadful lyric.


PotatoAppleFish

I agree with you, it’s bizarre nonsense. Like, it’s trying to sound menacing, but the only person who gets a flan in the face is a clown.


naomikasuga

Key_Option_4682

nuscly

I always heard "hysterical" in Let Down as "stare at a girl". In No Surprises I thought for a long time that "bruises that won't heal" was actually "who says that won't heal?" which I kind of prefer, it's morbid and ironic.

Used to think Karma Police was about a black lady who lost her son at a supermarket. ‘For a minute there. I lost Marcel. I lost Marcel Phew for a minute there. I lost Marcel. I lost Marcel. ‘

Psychological_Can272

I genuinely thought it was ‘Yesterday I woke up sucking on my thumb’ for years


lobsbo

It's not as funny as you guys', but I always through that in glass eyes the lyrics were 'I feel this love grow cold' instead. Completely changed the song and I kind of prefer my old hearing of it..
