Lead singer Thom Yorke was drunk and improvising when he recorded the vocals. The band came to the studio after drinking a lot of wine, and Yorke lied on the floor and sang. He did only one take.
The original title was "Planet Xerox," but Xerox is a copyrighted name and would have caused problems if they used it.
The album title refers to a condition divers get when they come to the surface too fast. It is a commentary on Radiohead's sudden fame.
