Song · Kid A / Amnesiac era (2000–01)
Trans-Atlantic Drawl
A loud guitar song released in the middle of the band's least guitar-driven period.
2001

It came out on the first CD of the “Pyramid Song” single, and it is the opposite of the record it accompanied: fast, and played rather than programmed. The title, and the sneer in it, have been read as being aimed at English musicians adopting American voices and the industry that encourages them.
It is a curio, and a reminder that the band could still do this when they chose to.
