Lead singer Thom Yorke wrote this. He based it on a song by the Jazz player Charles Mingus called "Freedom."
This originally contained handclaps, but the group didn't like how they came out and erased them.
Radiohead performed this at some of their shows before releasing it on the album. It was known as "Egyptian Song."
