Untogether
A Belly song that Thom Yorke sang as a duet with Tanya Donelly, in the autumn Radiohead opened for Belly in America.
1993
star
Belly were Tanya Donelly's band after Throwing Muses and the Breeders, and “Untogether” is two minutes from Star, the album that made them briefly enormous.
The connection to Radiohead is a tour. Radiohead opened for Belly in America in 1993, in the months when “Creep” was breaking there, and the two bands' names are tangled together in the archives of that year. A live “Ripcord” recorded on that tour ended up as a B-side.

an encore
Donelly took it on alone as an encore and Yorke came out to make it a duet. A fan who saw it in Pittsburgh on 11 October 1993 remembered it for twenty years before a video of it surfaced.
Radiohead never recorded it. It is on this site because Yorke sang it.
