I know you reacted to "I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul" but the BEST LINE in the song is "I want you to notice... when I'm not around." Thom Yorke is a goofy little guy but he put into words what every man on the planet feels.

I LOVE Radiohead!! If you want to go down the Radiohead rabbit trail, start at the beginning of their journey and take it all the way up to today. They are so very gifted. Jonny, the lead guitarist is a musical genius who is an actual composer. Thom Yorke is so gifted it's unbelievable and the rest of the band is too. My favorite songs are Creep, and "Paranoid Android" and it's best to watch the live version at Radiohead - Paranoid Android (Later Archive 1997). I love the entire "In Rainbows" album and you can watch them live at "In Rainbows From the Basement" sessions. It's great to watch instead of just listen so you can see just how musically gifted they all really are. Thanks for a great reaction video!!
