"The Tourist" is a song by Radiohead, from the band's 1997 album OK Computer. It is the closing track. Guitarist Jonny Greenwood is credited for writing the song. He was inspired to write it while sitting in a park in Paris and noticing the busy tourists who did not seem to be enjoying the beautiful area around them. The final note of the song is believed to be the bell noise of a microwave oven.
