He wrote: "One gets the feeling that this was a song Radiohead knew they liked and knew audiences liked but the band never came to grips with an arrangement for it; finally they threw up their hands, putting it out as it is."<ref>{{cite book |last=Randall |first=Mac |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0q9bTJp2Bi4C&q=My+Iron+Lung+Live+at+the+Astoria&pg=PT203 |title=Exit Music: The Radiohead Story Updated Edition |date=1 February 2012 |publisher=Backbeat Books |isbn=978-1-4584-7147-5}}</ref> |
