The One

thom yorke dancing in radiohead lotus flower becomes a meme Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke is famous for his crazy dance moves during live performances, and the new video for 'Lotus Flower' doesn't disappoint. It's just Yorke in a top hat going bananas for five minutes.

And while the video only hit the internet six days ago, it's been more than enough time for it to become a full-blown meme, with people making Yorke dance to funnier songs -- or just dubbing goofy voices to narrate his dancing.

I've rounded up some of the best after the jump.

I do have to point out that it's a bowler hat, not a top hat. A top hat would add a bit of formality, while the bowler hat indicates a playful insouciance.
