"Fake Plastic Trees" is a song by Radiohead, from their second album The Bends. It was the third single to be released from that album in the UK, but in the US, it was released as the band's first single from the album. "Fake Plastic Trees" is often seen as a turning point in the band's early career, along with "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" from the same album. The track also placed at number 376 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.According to singer Thom Yorke, the song was recorded as the band had just been to see Jeff Buckley play a set at Long Wong's in Tempe, Arizona. and when they got back into the studio, Yorke recorded the vocals in two takes. The song's lyrics are about Canary Wharf in London and about the world of mass marketing and mass consumption. And here's me thinking it was just about girls with fake breasts!
