"Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box" is a song by English band Radiohead, from their 2001 album, Amnesiac.
It is a largely electronic song, driven mainly by electronic drums and a distinctive bass line, played on a Rhodes Piano. The song was first played live at Canal+ Studios in Paris, France, on 28 April 2001.
The song is more rock orientated when played live, due Phil Selway's playing a normal drum kit and Colin Greenwood playing the bass line through a Lovetone Big Cheese pedal, which gives the song its fuzz bass sound.
Colin Greenwood has commented on the song, saying "The "kkkurrghh" from Packt Like Sardines, that's from Thom's laptop. We just compressed messed-up loops.".
