"The Eraser" is a song by Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke, and the first track on his 2006 album of the same name. The piano chords heard throughout the song were sampled from a recording Yorke made of Radiohead bandmate Jonny Greenwood [1].
The song has been remixed by Ellen Allien and Stretch'n'Vern. Yorke linked from the band's blog Dead Air Space to a video of clubgoers dancing to the latter mix during a set by DJ Sasha.
In 2007, the newly-formed American hip-hop supergroup Child Rebel Soldier (CRS), consisting of Lupe Fiasco, Pharrell Williams and Kanye West, released a song called "Us Placers" which features "The Eraser" as its musical backdrop. Yorke can be heard singing the refrain "the more you try to erase me the more that I appear" between each verse. The song appeared on Can't Tell Me Nothing, an official mixtape and circulated on the Internet.
