Pop Is Dead

"Pop Is Dead" is a song by the English rock band Radiohead, released as a non-album single on 10 May 1993, several months after their debut album, Pablo Honey.

[4] The journalist Mac Randall described the acoustic B-side "Banana Co." as "Beatlesque", with lyrics hinting at a loathing of multinational corporations.

[2][5] Another B-side, a live performance of the Pablo Honey song "Ripcord", was recorded at a Town and Country Club gig in London in February 1993, when Radiohead opened for Belly.

[8] It features Yorke portraying the character of Pop as "a dandified vampire in a glass coffin", accompanied by other band members.

Reviewing the reissue for IGN, Finn White described "Pop Is Dead" as a "clever and humorous rock satire".
