Respected British alternative rock band Radiohead has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, has won three Grammy awards, and has been named the second best artist of the 2000s by Rolling Stone. Their 1995 hit, Fake Plastic Trees, was released exactly 20 years ago this week, and received a lot of airplay. BTW, the trees in the song's title refer to artificial trees that band members saw along Canary Wharf in London after an evening of "celebrating." The song's been featured in numerous films and TV shows here and in the UK.
Her green plastic watering can for
her fake Chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth
What she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber bands
to get rid of itself
It wears her out, it wears her out
It wears her out, it wears her out
