-Check this out from Wikipedia, on Radiohead's album "Ok, Computer":
The album also contains several references to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams:

The title of the song "Paranoid Android" comes from the nickname of the depressed robot Marvin.
In the above song, the lyrics "when I am king, you will be first against the wall" echoes a similar line in the books, stating the Cybernetics Cooperation would "be the first against the wall when the revolution comes".
The title of the album likely came from a line in the book where one of the characters says "Ok, computer" to Eddie the computer.
