I thought it was damn funny :) and in fact I passed it on to a few fellow Radiohead fans. I wonder what the experiment would yield with other music...

Think about it- whether or not those kids liked it or not (or pretended to like it or not), they'll most likely remember the experience. So here you ahve a roomful of fifth graders being influenced by a modern musical entity. In public school! Wouldn't have happened in *my* fifth grade days, sad to say. In the latter years of high school, *maybe*. Perhaps this suggests a slight shuffle to the left? Perhaps the American education system standard isn't as farked as I think it is? Intriguing...'Course, I'm prolly overanalzing again...it's the Libra in me... That’s great! Just coming up with teh idea to do such a thing is great.
