Here's Radiohead's clip for "Karma Police" from their hit album "Ok Computer" (1997). A car without a driver follows a desperate running man on this endless road at night. But from time to time, a shot reveals lead singer Thom Yorke appearing in the car's backseat, singing the chorus. The pursuit continues for a time until the man gets tired and stop, and the vehicle follows his action, taking some distance. But a strange surprise is right on their way.

"Karma Police" is in a 4/4 time signature and played in standard tuning.
The first half of the song is in the key of G major. The second half (starting with the line "For a minute there") is in B minor.
"Karma Police", like several other songs that would make up OK Computer, was debuted live in 1996, when the band briefly supported Alanis Morissette on tour.
The title lyric originates from an in-joke; the Radiohead band members would threaten to call the "karma police" if they did something bad.
In late March 2010, almost thirteen years after its initial single release, the song went to number fifteen on the Danish Singles Chart.
