No Picture Paula Rhythm Player	#1 by Paula at Nov 22, 1973 at 8:12 PM EST
	One of my favorite Radiohead songs...I'm just getting into them now anyway, lol, but I love this song! Makes me wanna dance or something.

No Picture Justin Wanna Be	#2 by Justin Thibeault at May 25, 1982 at 2:23 AM EST
	I see this as the only real straight-out rock song on OKC. All the other songs are the type where you sit listening to them and they hit you in the gut with their gravity, but 'Electioneering' is more of a tune you can have on the radio when doing chores.

No Picture Josh Average	#3 by Josh Collins at Aug 24, 1983 at 1:39 AM EST
	I think this song is about how politicians manipulate the public, almost indirectly "buying" their votes... Maybe.

No Picture Steven Wanna Be	#4 by Steven Douglas at Jul 9, 1984 at 3:41 AM EST
	I know no one's reading this, but here I go anyway: This song has some of the coolest lyrics ever: "When I go forwards/You go backwards/And somewhere we will meet." It's a play on words: as the politician "goes forwards" - gains more power - the people "go backwards" - lose control and power - and because the politician is relentlessly electioneering, he will meet each person somewhere along the way. This might be my favorite song on "OK Computer." Genius.

No Picture Cornelius Average	#5 by Cornelius Wallace at Aug 13, 1991 at 11:49 PM EST
	Yeh this song rox... it makes me boppy

No Picture GaRy Average	#6 by GaRy Boggs at Oct 28, 1995 at 11:47 PM EST
	George W. Bush played this song, I would give him an x-factor for his troubles
