Radiohead - No Surprises, is ranked 24th of the 100 Greatest music videos.
This video comes from the album 'OK COMPUTER' which was successful in 1997.
The video is just one shot of an extreme close up of Thom Yorke's
face which looks like he has his head in a glass fish bowl.
As he is singing we can see the lyrics scrolling up backwards as though they are
being reflected from whatever he is looking at off of the 'fish bowl'.
Through the video it then starts to fill with water and he is made to hold his
breathe for almost a minute, creating suspense for the audience as they watch it.
As the bowl is emptied we see his gasp and struggle for air then
he returns back to singing the lyrics that we can see reflecting in the bowl.
