Yorke was born before the evolution of man in the late 60s. He was born with a dodgy eye that made him look like comically skeptical all the time, and also strong anti-political, anti-meat eater, and anti-everything views. He learned to play a guitar at a very young age. However, when people asked him to show them his guitar skills, he would instead produce a synthesizer, program it to make "wibble-wibble" noises, and do a strange shuffling dance.

  • Yorke was born before the evolution of man in the late 60s. He was born with a dodgy eye that made him look like comically skeptical all the time, and also strong anti-political, anti-meat eater, and anti-everything views. He learned to play a guitar at a very young age. However, when people asked him to show them his guitar skills, he would instead produce a synthesizer, program it to make "wibble-wibble" noises, and do a strange shuffling dance. This infuriated many people who wanted to know why he wouldn't just make music with his guitar. When asked about this or indeed approached in any way, Yorke would curl up in a ball and cry hysterically until the baffled person left him alone. While at school, Yorke met a Christopher Walken impersonator named Colin who could produce an awesome tone from a bass guitar. After the addition of the half-giant Ed O' Brien whose job was to hold a guitar and make as little noise as possible, they became a band called "On a Friday", so named because the only day they could practice was on a Friday (for some reason). On A Friday soon gained two more members. The first was a living haircut called Jonny Greenwood who played a Telecaster like a beast, and the second was a clothes-store mannequin that they put behind a drumkit and hoped nobody would notice, billing it as "Phil".
