Number Two

The musical countdown continues, and this week's tune of doom goes back a dozen years to the year 2000: Idoeteque by Radiohead.

This song track from Radiohead's album, Kid A, is seen as a departure for the band, as the song driven by electronic beats. Some think this is an apocalyptic song, a song about destruction brought by the hand of man (who's in the bunker) or nature (ice age coming) - - the end of the world! Lyric lines come off as thought capsules from assorted victims - - collective voices from all walks of life, persons in a state of panic with the hypothetical questions posed. ‘What would you do?’ 'Keep a cool head?'

Who's in a bunker?

Who's in a bunker?

Women and children first

And children first

And children

I'll laugh until my head comes off

I swallow till I burst

Until I burst

Until I . .

Who's in a bunker?

Who's in a bunker?

I've seen too much

You haven't seen enough

You haven't seen

I'll laugh until my head comes off

Women and children first

The children first

The children . .

Here I'm allowed, 

Everything all of the time

Here I'm allowed, 

Everything all of the time

Ice age coming

Ice age coming

Let me hear both sides

Let me hear both sides

Let me hear both . .

Ice age coming

Ice age coming

Throw it on the fire

Throw it on the fire

Throw it on the..

We're not scaremongering

This is really happening, happening

We're not scaremongering

This is really happening, happening

Mobiles working

Mobiles chirping

Take the money and run

Take the money and run

Take the money . .

Here I'm allowed, 

Everything all of the time

Here I'm allowed, 

Everything all of the time

Here I'm allowed, 

Everything all of the time

Here I'm allowed, 

Everything all of the time
