Drugstore

Yorke shared vocals with Isabel Monteiro from the English band Drugstore on the single, "El President", off their album White Magic for Lovers. Yorke also appeared in the music video.

Yorke and Björk sang a duet called "I've Seen It All" on Selmasongs (2000), the soundtrack album to Lars von Trier's award winning film Dancer in the Dark. In the movie, a different recording is heard, with the song sung by actor Peter Stormare. The song was nominated for an Academy Award, and the two were to have performed it together at the 2001 Oscars, but it was cut to a Björk solo performance due to time requirements. Yorke also provided backing vocals on "Náttúra", a single released by Björk on 20 October 2008 to promote the Icelandic environmental organization of the same name.[42]
