This song is about a girl that Tom Yorke liked who had no time for him, it's not in any way shape or form about being celibate. Plus he's not walking round in 2020 saying he's a creep this was from the 90's.

@Susan Lynn You're both wrong. It's actually about a girl that the singer really liked but lacked the self esteem to talk to. He basically quietly stalked her because he couldn't get the courage to talk to her. There was something in the story about her running out the door, which is part of the lyrics too. I think it is when he played the song live when she was there. Below is close to what I've read preivously: Vocalist Thom Yorke wrote the song prior to Radiohead being formed. Yorke came up with the song while attending Exeter University in 1987. Jonny Greenwood, Radiohead's guitarist, has stated that Yorke's inspiration for writing the song was a girl that Yorke had followed around but couldn't speak to. She showed up unexpected at one of his live performances and Yorke didn't have the self-confidence to introduce himself. Yorke has all but confirmed this story by admitting that "Creep" is the story of a drunk male who follows a woman around in a desperate attempt to be noticed and approached. The lyrics of "Creep" are basically Yorke's recognition of what he is - a man that lacks the confidence to approach a woman that he has become infatuated with. He puts her on this pedestal and views her as being special while he is merely ordinary. He lacks a perfect body, lacks a perfect soul, and has little control when it comes to taking initiative and pursuing someone he's interested in. He views himself as a weirdo that doesn't belong in her presence and can't compete with other testosterone driven males. Source: www.musicbanter.com/lyrics/Radiohead-Creep.html

Fun fact: When the guitarist stuck the strings at the transitions he intentionally hit them with excessive force trying to sabotage the recording, as all the band members actually really disliked the song. Instead of sabotaging it it actually created an iconic moment in music as people actually found it special. Causing the opposite effect.

@@michealhockofficial2215 They grew weary of the song due to the fact it was a massive success, despite them themselves not finding it all to impressive. I should note that it was just the guitarist that tried sabotaging the song. He never liked the song when he first heard it, song whenever they would perform it he would purposely strike the strings with force. Creating that "Chunk chunk" sound. They refused to play the song for some time. But I'm not sure that is still the case. So it wasn't the hole band trying to ruin it, just the guitarist.

Total bullshit

This is the story of all of us. At some point in time we were the person desiring something unobtainable.

Creep is not a great example of who/what Radiohead is. Don’t get me wrong, I very much like this song, but the band has evolved their sound over and over and over on subsequent releases. Creep is from their debut album and was their biggest commercial success in the US, but is universally considered their worst album when compared to their other works

i thought everyone had heard creep!

I think the difference between this song and the Incel culture, is that in the song, he doesn't blame the girl, he's self aware enough to know himself and not turn into hatred for women.

Okay....here we go! Love Radiohead!!!!! Do Karma Police!!✌️😎

3:23 "I Wanna perfect body" "Do some push-ups my brother" haha good stuff.

Fun reaction! :) For what it's worth, I don't think this particular song is quite the same as the incel community: it's less about the singer not being able to get with *any* girls in general, and more about how he feels creepy, unworthy, and incapable of connecting with the one specific girl he's in love with.

Honestly i suscribed because youre giving this band recognition they deserve .They are legends brother, my favorite band since 98

Sending all my fellow creeps, hugs & love, & keep on creeping, cause we are people too!!! LOL 😀 You are taking the song to literal......the story is as old as time.....boy likes girl, girl is from another class than he is, & he wants her to like him, but he does not feel good enough for her, because he is from a lower class and/or different side of the track, shall we say......a lot more simple.......

Radiohead has some tracks that are extraordinarily meaningful and performed with equal gravitas in the voice. Beautiful track to me is "fade out" .

There are certain songs that I will always watch another reaction to no matter how many ppl I have seen do it. This is one of these songs. Everyone has a different perspective.

Radiohead is in the GOAT convo for their genre. Their later stuff is very different but very good. Anything off the OK Computer or In Raindbows albums are a hit.

Ok, ok you got me hitting that button. I wasn't going to but after watching a few of your vids, each one cracking me up more than the previous 😂 Look forward to to rocking out with ya in the future👍

You have lead me down memory lane with all these older songs and bands. Thank you!

Absolutely amazing thanku so much love this fantastic reaction lot's of love an God bless x

Very good reaction. You are hysterical!

Great great song!!👍👌🔥🔥👏👏

Stone Temple Pilots - Creep. It's a different song with the same name. But as good

HollaAtKrazy wonderful Reaction as ever. People do tend to go for bands famous songs like this with Radiohead, (and Joy Divisions "Love Will Tear Us Apart"), rather than ones which more reflect their overall sound. No criticization of Holla's fine work!

Not the best Radiohead song, but one I love the most. It's ethereal

No Surprises. Not seen anyone react to that song. The video is great too.

Classic🤘🏽 really deep lyricism too. I love Radiohead. They have so many other great songs though. You should listen to 'karma police'

I see it as him saying he's an outcast. Doesn't fit in with looks, or charecter, or whatever. He just wants to be noticed.

Great song

So much variety, but, you want a killer Radiohead track with awesome guitar solo... My Iron Lung Just And the ultimate if you're after transitions... Paranoid Android

I think you nailed it, and that's what attracted people to the song. The beautiful people are outnumbered. There are so many that are introverted and awkward and average or only one of those adjectives, that people were so able to relate to the words.

You just nailed it too Jason! That’s exactly my thought. Back in the 90’s the words “introverted/socially awkward/mental health/etc.” were not words we used. Instead, the closest thing to those words that we all knew at the time were “weird/crazy/creep.” Am I right? 🤘🏼 I think at the end of the song he just gives up lyrically by saying “whatever makes you happy, whatever you want. I wish I was special. You’re so fu**in special, but I’m a creep.” AND musically as the harshness of the music dies. Love this song HollaAtKrazy!!

I recommend you check out "Just." Not only is it one of their more rocking songs, it is one of my favorite music videos.

"I want a perfect body" ... "Gotta do some push ups my brotha!" "I want a perfect soul" ... [ speechless ]

How can someone NOT have heard of Radiohead or Creep!!! This is 2020

I love this song and I have had a lot of creepy guys try to get me and it's scary. Brandi Modrak XOXO, XOXO means hugs and Kisses to you and your family.

This strings struck could be at choice the sound of reloading an automatic gun or the starting of a chainsaw ...in any case, this sound announces an outburst! :)

One of the greatest songs of all time

Radiohead has a lot of good songs. This was their first hit. High and Dry, Just, Fake Plastic Trees and Karma Police are some good ones. Also there is an awesome cover of Creep by Haley Reinhart and Postmodern Jukebox that is MUST see.

How have you not heard this?!?! WTF HOLLA?! 🤣🤣 This is a CLASSIC!!!!! BTW I REALLY wanna participate in your Battle Nights PLEASE! I'll judge or whatever until I can battle you & whoop your a$$!! 🤣🤣 Let me know please. Great reaction!! 😁👊🙏

the simp anthem LMFAO

You should react to Postmodern Jukebox Haley Rinehart's version of Creep. PMJ turns songs into jazz versions. It will blow your mind!

the best live performance is absolutely perfect u should see it

React to Curtis Lowe, by Lynard Skynard.

Paranoid Android is what you need to hear next.

It’s more like being in love with someone who doesn’t even notice you. Someone you fantasize about being with but doesn’t know you exist. It’s not about being angry, it’s just accepting that she doesn’t know who you are

They’ve been going since 1985, 6 Grammys and sold over 30 million albums. It takes some doing not to have heard of them!

15 Step by Radiohead is also great! Coldplay and The Beatles as well.

They have much, much, much better songs than this, in my opinion. So many different styles across their albums, depends what you're into.

I think you got it in the end. Incels are more about hating women while this song is more self hating. Like he never blames the other person for not liking him back, he thinks he's a creep and doesn't deserve to be loved back. Anyway you should check out Just, Karma Police, and 15 Step for some more Radiohead!

It's just when you don't fit the 'frame of the day', you might seem weird or a freak... The point is that you don't have to be like the world around you is expecting you to be. The song got famous by SFW movie, which I recommend, some ppl might understand the message :)

Thom says it was a crush on a girl that never notice him in college.

Wow! You hit the nail on the head with your comment about incels. I love this song, but you're definitely right.

Give a listen to Infected Rain - Orphan Soul, it would be interesting to see how you take it in.

Hi. He feels like she’s out of his league. She doesn’t notice him and he’s doubting and putting himself down.

Please keep doing Queen reactions! I suggest ‘march of the black Queen’ i dont know ik you already done that one but i dont think so. If have done it already you should try let me live from the Made in heaven album. I love that song and its amazing.💜

Creep is their most popular song but it doesn't capture the sound of the band in the slightest, I suggest listening to either, Weird fishes, How to disappear completely, Paranoid android or 2+2=5 for a better idea on Radiohead :)

White brothers RMB, same emotion just different sound. We all bleed the same we all feel the same. Just sound different , but that's cool cause life would be boring if it was all the same all the time. ☮️✌️❤️

Radiohead is musical magic. Paranoid Android next.

Can you please do more twenty one pilots 💜

They hated this songs popolarity so much that they stoped playing it, because they felt it wasn’t who they really were

Now that you started to do Radiohead, you gotta to Muse dude.

This song became an anthem but it really doesn't portray the bands greatness their discography is amazing and they're still making great music their last album which they made when they were 50 was still great I haven't seen any other artist do that they're one of the all-time great bands and even though the critics and jazz and classical musicians love them they don't get the credit they deserve from the general public and it's a shame.
