"Thom Yorke Dancing" Is the New "Sad Keanu"

Last week, we were given a gift -- Radiohead's music video for "Lotus Flower" combined with Beyonce's "Single Ladies."

In said video, Thom Yorke's impassioned dancing took on a new meaning -- instead of representing some burning inner desire that could only be articulated via dance, Yorke's undulations entreated: "Put a ring on it!" You certainly are a "king of limbs," Yorke.

Well, now it seems that the web has embraced this equation (Thom Yorke's dancing + Contradictory jam = LOL). Behold, Dancing Thom, a Tumblr replete with vids of Yorke getting down to a litany of tunes.

The combination is rather reminiscent of "Sad Keanu," a meme that was born from a photo of Keanu Reeves looking dejected whilst holding a sandwich (then eating a cupcake, then wearing a helmet, etc).
