A piano-led art-rock piece with strings and an unusual, swung feel, “Pyramid Song” draws on Thom Yorke’s fascination with Charles Mingus’s “Freedom,” the Egyptian underworld, and cyclical concepts of time. It became Radiohead’s first post-Kid A single, peaking at No. 5 in the UK, with an award-winning undersea-dream video by Shynola.
