You know that guy -- the one that always shows up to a party with an acoustic guitar in hand and starts a sing along, whether anyone wants him to or not.

Well, Thom Yorke is totally one of those dudes. 

The Radiohead singer was presumably backed up by the sounds of people munching potato chips on percussion as he performed "Reckoner." Fiiiine, Thom, you can play a Radiohead song and then we'll go back to blasting "Sorry."

Yorke also played "Desert Island Disk,""No Surprises," "Street Spirit" and "I Might Be Wrong."

"Bless my father for running around asking people," wrote the Redditor who may or may not now own some of Yorke's DNA.
