Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Let Down. By Songfacts®.

Lead singer Thom Yorke: "I was pissed in a club, and I suddenly had the funniest thought I'd had for ages - what if all the people who were drinking were hanging from the bottles... if the bottles were hung from the ceiling with string, and the floor caved in, and the only thing that kept everyone up was the bottles? It's also about an enormous fear of being trapped."

Radiohead recorded OK Computer at the mansion of actress Jane Seymour. This track was recorded at 3 a.m. when the band found inspiration.

The blip noise at the end of the track was created with a ZX Spectrum, which is an old computer the band members used in their youth.
