It's "We must perform a Quirkafleeg" ("quirkafleeg" in some versions
of the original JSW), and Russ Juckes has a site about it, complete
with screenshot, here:
http://www.russandem.co.uk/quirk/

A Quirkafleeg is the act of lying on your back, in the presence of
dead furry animals, waving your feet in the air and
shouting "Quirkafleeg! Quirkafleeg!". It inspired not only Matthew
Smith, but also Radiohead's "Just" video, where a man is lying on a
pavement and incites others to do the same by telling them (for those
who can lip-read) "We must perform a Quirkafleeg"!

P.S. I attended Radiohead's gig at the Manchester Evening News arena
on 22nd November. It was an awesome experience.
