"Videotape" is a song by the English rock group Radiohead, which appears on their album In Rainbows. It was debuted during their 2006 tour.

The song in its initial incarnation was primarily piano driven, with a drum part that got progressively more intense, and a short guitar solo near the end. It has been performed solo on piano by singer Thom Yorke, for Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich's Internet TV show, From the Basement. Pianist Christopher O'Riley, famous for his performances of Radiohead songs on classical piano[1], has played the song during his current tour[2].

The song was mentioned by many concert reviewers[3] as a highlight of the band's new material much like other popular Radiohead songs when they were previewed live before their respective albums were released[4].

The final incarnation of the song on In Rainbows has changed from the build-up of the intial 2006 version. The drumming has been replaced and all guitar has been removed.[5]
