Real Title: Rattlesnake
Known Title: Rattlesnake in the Big City
What I Call It: Rattlesnake in the Big City –its more fun that way
My Thoughts: This song is the jam!!!
Info: This song survived in the live set for some time. Described as country fried ghetto rap, this is Thom Yorke a white man in 1990 rapping. Drum loops generated by Thom repeatedly recording from his walkman onto a track of the Portastudio. He adjusted the eq on his walkman as the loops were recorded, which gives the drum track it's texture.
Lyrics:
Poly woly doodle Poly woly doodle Poly woly doodle
Teeth like whiter than snow
Boys one of these days he's gonna poison you boys
When he grows up he wants to be a Rattelsnake
Rattlesnake in the Big City Rock yeah
Out out of control boys climbing out the two story warehouse yeah
He's just building for his bimbo girlfriend
when he found her sneaking out with his best friend
Rattlesnake in the Big City
Rattlesnake in the Big City yeah
A Rattlesnake in the Big City yeah
Ones of these days he's gonna crash
Ones of these days he's gonna be dead boys Suddenly ran out of luck
Wait wait by the door there's something else som'n happening now yeah
yeah I don't know & I don't care but if it comes into my front door then I'm scared
yeah he said "don't be scared man" there's not nothing to be with you there
Here I am, with my head on my sleeve he's running around like he doesn't want to see me
Rattlesnake Rattlesnake Rattlesnake Rattlesnake Rattlesnake Rattlesnake
Rattlesnake in the Big City
Ones of these days he's gonna crash
Ones of these days he's gonna be dead boys Suddenly ran out of luck boys
Rattlesnake Rattlesnake Rattlesnake
Teeth like whiter than snow
Ones of these days he's gonna be a poison bite
Hot!
I believe it's gonna happen to me yeah!
Rattlesnake Rattlesnake Rattlesnake Rattlesnake Rattlesnake Rattlesnake Rattlesnake Rattlesnake
Know an old lady
She swallowed a fly
Maybe that's 'cause
We're all gonna die
And When we do
What's it all for sweetheart (What's it all for)
Better leave now before it stays stuck
Like in a ???
Like a Rattlesnake
