"I Might Be Wrong" is a song by the English rock band Radiohead from their 2001 album, Amnesiac. In the United States, it was released as a radio-only single in advance of the album. "Pyramid Song" was the official first single in all other regions, and the "Pyramid Song" video was also released worldwide. The song charted at #27 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart [1].

Although the album version is heavily produced by Nigel Godrich and Radiohead, with a more electronic texture, "I Might Be Wrong" is one of the more guitar-oriented songs on Amnesiac. The song uses a blues riff written by Jonny Greenwood, in Drop D tuning. The riff is similar to that of the song Loser by the artist Beck who is a friend of Yorke's. The song was first played live as a set-closer in Villa Reale in Milan, Italy, on 19 June 2000, and has become a live favourite. A live version of the song appears on Radiohead's 2001 live album, which is called I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings. It has also often been played in an acoustic version by Thom Yorke.

[edit] Music videos

Although "I Might Be Wrong" was not released as a single outside of the US, two music videos were produced for it. One, released only on the Web, was available during the Amnesiac era in this page on Radiohead's official site (offline now). The other, directed by Sophie Muller, shows Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood in a dimly lit parking garage playing the song. The video was made available several months after Amnesiac came out
