Collaborations

Drugstore

Yorke shared vocals with Isabel Monteiro from the English band Drugstore on the single, "El President", off their album White Magic for Lovers. Yorke also appeared in the music video. Monteiro was born in Brazil, and the song was inspired by the events of the Chilean 1973 military coup by Augusto Pinochet against President Salvador Allende.

Sparklehorse

Yorke sings part of this cover of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" with Sparklehorse's Mark Linkous. Yorke sang his part on the telephone from his hotel room. Sparklehorse were Radiohead's opening act on the European leg of the OK Computer tour in 1997.

Unkle

Yorke and DJ Shadow got together during the OK Computer tour in San Francisco and recorded "Rabbit in Your Headlights" for the James Lavelle project going under the name Unkle. The song is the penultimate track on Unkle's first album Psyence Fiction (1998), which also features contributions by many other artists.

The Venus in Furs

Yorke and Radiohead bandmate Jonny Greenwood got together with Bernard Butler, David Gray, Andy Mackay, and Paul Kimble to form the band, The Venus in Furs (named after the Velvet Underground song). They recorded five songs for the Todd Haynes film Velvet Goldmine (1998), which was produced by Yorke's friend Michael Stipe. Three of the tracks sung by Yorke are Roxy Music covers, originally sung by Bryan Ferry, whilst "Baby's on Fire" is a Brian Eno cover and "Tumbling Down" is a Cockney Rebel cover. The tracks are:

"2HB"

"Ladytron"

"Baby's on Fire" (Vocal: Jonathan Rhys Meyers)

"Bitter-Sweet"

"Tumbling Down" (Vocal: Jonathan Rhys Meyers)

Björk

Yorke and Björk sang a duet called "I've Seen It All" on Selmasongs (2000), the soundtrack album to Lars Von Trier's award winning film Dancer in the Dark. In the movie, a different recording is heard, with the song sung by actor Peter Stormare. The song was nominated for an Academy Award, and the two were to have performed it together at the 2001 Oscars, but it was cut to a Björk solo performance due to time requirements. Yorke also provided backing vocals on "Náttúra", a single released by Björk on October 20, 2008 to promote the Icelandic environmental organization of the same name.

PJ Harvey

Yorke had a strong presence on PJ Harvey's 2000 release, Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea. He did a duet with Harvey on the song "This Mess We're In" and sang back-up on two other songs: "One Line" and "Beautiful Feeling". Harvey's album won the Mercury Music Prize in 2001 (over Radiohead's Amnesiac, among other nominees).

Band Aid 20

In December 2004, Yorke and Greenwood contributed to the Band Aid 20 "Do They Know It's Christmas?" charity single. While he does not sing, Yorke can be seen playing piano in the music video.
