The song is based on an incident in a LA bar, but the title is from a character in one of the best SF book series ever (I'll fight you over that statement) –

Radiohead, "Paranoid Android" (1997)

I’m a big Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy fan, all versions, and have been a member of the ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha fan club on and off since the 1980s. Tonight in the club’s Facebook group someone asked what people’s favourite visual representations of Marvin the Paranoid Android are. This is mine, from the most recent stage show version I was lucky to see in Edinburgh. #H2G2 #HHGTTG #HitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy #MarvinTheParanoidAndroid #DouglasAdams #Robots #ZZ9PluralZAlpha #ScienceFiction #SciFi

Photo of the Marvin puppet held up by his operator standing behind. The puppet is very Heath Robinson style, with separate head and body, and arms and legs that look as though they are repurposed pieces of equipment. The torso includes a reel to reel tape machine. Very retro feel.
