Watch video mash-ups of Radiohead's Lotus Flower
Video spoofs of Radiohead's new music video, Lotus Flower have taken YouTube by storm.
The video for Lotus Flower, which was released a few days ago features Radiohead frontman, Thom Yorke, dancing in a deserted warehouse.
In the video Yorke is dancing his heart out using some awkward moves. A number of mash-up videos have surfaced since Lotus Flower was released last Friday.
The first spoof was Yorke dancing to Beyoncé's Single Ladies, a song that is far too familiar with parodies. Single Ladies was famously mocked by Justin Timberlake on Saturday Night Live.
Since that video a slew of other mashes were created including Yorke dancing to Lady Gaga's Bad Romance and Maniac from the movie Flashdance.
Lotus Flower is off Radiohead's latest album titled King of Limbs. The digital version of the album was released last Friday, while the hard copy will be released on March 28.
The British alternative rock band publicized their new album as the Newspaper Album. It will come in the form of two 10-inch vinyl records in a purpose-built record-sleeve, a CD and many large sheets of artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork and a full-color piece of oxo-degradable plastic to hold it all together.
In 2007, Radiohead tested the music industry when they released their album In Rainbows at a pay what you want model.
The band is now packaging the new album as a collective listening experience. The price of the hard copy is $48 when sold with an MP3 download of the album, and $53 when sold with the WAV download. The discs and vinyl will ship May 9. The digital downloads will be available Sunday, Feb. 19, though everything can be pre-ordered. Fans can also purchase the album in a download-only format.
The price for the download-only option is $9 for MP3 and $14 for a WAV version.
