Recording


Singer Thom Yorke and guitarist Jonny Greenwood debuted "Bodysnatchers" in May 2006 at their performance for the Big Ask at KOKO in London.[1] Radiohead recorded it with producer Nigel Godrich at Tottenham House, a dilapidated country house in Marlborough, Wiltshire.[2] Yorke said: "You can definitely hear the atmosphere of the place on [Bodysnatchers] ... 'Bodysnatchers' is the one live track on the record where we're all playing together."[2]


Composition


Yorke described the song as a combination of the German band Neu! and "dodgy hippy rock", likening it to the Australian band Wolfmother.[3] He said it was inspired by Victorian ghost stories, the 1970s satire The Stepford Wives and the feeling of "your physical consciousness trapped without being able to connect fully with anything else".[4]


Release


In preparation for the physical release of In Rainbows, ATO Records and sister label Side One Recordings serviced "Bodysnatchers" as a single from the album to American radio stations.[5] ATO was chosen as the band's record label for American releases.[6] "Bodysnatchers" gained substantial airplay on modern rock radio stations and reached number eight on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart in February 2008.[7][8] It was Radiohead's highest-charting song on the chart since "Creep" peaked at number two in 1993.[8] A performance of "Bodysnatchers" was included on the 2008 live video In Rainbows – From the Basement.[9]
