Today is the World Book Day, and here you got a song from Radiohead, "Banana Co." This was originally an acoustic track from a radio session Thom Yorke did in 1993. It ended up as the B-side to the single "Pop is Dead" and on the EP Itch. Select magazine's October 1999 issue, which was partially devoted to tracing the origin of Radiohead songs, cited One Hundred Years of Solitude (from Gabriel García Márquez best seller), as a possible inspiration for the song. The lyrics are about a little town in which a big factory is built and how industrialization turned farmers into factory workers.
