I’m having trouble remembering the song name / band name of a certain music video. In it, a man wearing a big parka is walking through a tunnel and keeps getting hit by cars. Eventually, he sheds his coat and the next car that hits him is smashed to bits.

Anyone…?

Do they still actually show videos?

I don’t think it was on MTV.

My friend was telling me about that video. It’s by for a DJ’s song, I think. DJ Shadow, or something like that. I’ll try and find out.

It was answered in GQ, but I’ll say it here:

_Rabbit in the Headlights_ by U.N.K.L.E., featuring Thom Yorke (of Radiohead, but I shouldn’t have to mention that) on vocals.

The man in the video is **not** Yorke.
