Another Radiohead/Hitchhiker's Fagan

So I'm re-reading the trilogy. Last night on the bus I was reading the bit where Slartibartfast talks about mice being the most intelligent creatures on the giant computer that is (well, was) the Earth.

Check this out:

"How better to disguise thier real natures, and how better to guide your thinking. Suddenly running down a maze the wrong way, eating the wrong bit of cheese, unexpectedly dropping dead of myxomatosis."

Myxomatosis!

In the bottom half of "Hail to the Thief" tracks, but nonetheless a gem. Drum, bass, and organ are overtly crisp under syncopated lines like:
"I - don't - know - why I - feel - so - tongue - tied"

there is a old playground joke about a rabbit who ate too many different toasted cheese sandwiches and died of mix-a-me-toasties

i knew going to a backward rural school would pay off in the end...

Bullshit. One of the top 5 songs on that platter.

2+2=5
Sit Down Stand Up
Gloaming
Myx
Wolf at the Door

least to my ears.

Personally, all of Radiohead's output is shit compared to Staind's new opus "Chapter V"......

Hear Hear to the Emily Post of grammar on RSN.

To make it appropriate for this thread : "Hear Hear To The Thief!"

"Another Radiohead/Hitchhiker's Fagan"

What was the first (or other) reference(s) Radiohead made to Hitchikers?
