It is an original but it’s not. Radiohead admitted they ripped this song off and paid a 60’s group a settlement for ripping off their song “The Air that I breathe” for this. It’s exactly the same chords just backwards.

Wrong. They only took elements from Albert Hammond song 'the air that I breath'. Even the tone between those two songs are different. However, following legal action, Albert Hammond and Hazelwood were credited as co-writers. After that legal issues, Radiohead, assured their producer, Mr Kolderie that "Creep" was an original song. He called EMI records and convinced them to release it as a single.

I'm 65 years old, but I remember hearing this song for the first time. It took me back to being that teenager that didn't fit in with other kids. My family life was just more messed up, and I didn't feel like I fit in with the other kids. Whenbthis song came out, I was grown up with my own family, but that insecure kid jumped out with every word and note of this song and made me face that part of myself. Great music does that. It helps us recognize and internalize feelings we thought were long forgotten. This song was brilliant.

As I said in another video music that we truly connect can be cathartic by encapsulating and expressing big, intense and frequently confusing emotions (especially the painful ones) that can feel too complex, overwhelming or painful to articulate. Externalising our internal landscape and sometimes even reset it. This close link with emotions is why certain music can so vividly take us back to past times in our lives.

He's just relaying the feeling a lot of people get when they are totally infatuated with someone who either isn't interested or as was the case here, the girl didn't even know him. This was written by Thom Yorke about a girl who was at Uni with him, he was besotted by her but never had the courage to approach her. Apart from once late and night when drunk he told her how she felt and she ran, understandably really given it was late and a stranger who was drunk was telling her he loved her! The lines "She's running again" are about that night. There's a live version of this on YT tagged "Best live Performance". Give yourself a treat and give it a watch, his performance is show stopping. What a band, in my view they can't be pigeonholed , they aren't Rock, Progressive etc etc . They are Radiohead ...

Prince is often cited as the most gifted musician of the past 50 years, and he was a prolific sampler.

A rap fan, such as BP has said many times over and over he's heard a piece from soooo many rock songs( and I've heard this on other reaction channels) oh so and so had this in their song or I thought this was so and sons song. Many rap fans DO NOT listen to rock and therefore are under the impression these great pcs in a song were created by that particular rap artist when in fact it wasn't. A cover you're doing an entire song with your own interpretation put to it. And the world will know who the orinal came from because it's that well known a song or the credit will say so...

These guys are pre-emo. Lots of people consider sad music "emo," but the original definition of it was emotional hardcore. It came out of the punk/hardcore movement in the US. Bands began to get a little more melodic with frequent stop and starts as well as emotionally heavy subject matter. This came out when I was in high school. It spoke so well what I was feeling. These guys are legit and they do mess with a lot of electronic stuff. The OK Computer album has a lot of that. For a song that will hit you right in the feels by these guys, check out Fake Plastic Trees! I always felt like crapping on hip hop for sampling was weak and probably someone who has no idea what goes into it. I'm a guitar player, and this song is frankly easier for me to play on a guitar than it is to try to chop up a sample, make the pitch, tempo, etc work in another tune. There is so much more than goes into sampling than people realize. I love "found" art, so what that is is art made entirely from stuff that's already out there, but tweaked, chopped up, and recombined. Not everyone puts found art in the same category as fine art and that is a mistake (IMO).

This song is off Radioheads first album and obviously very early in their career (1993), so this is firmly in the 90's 'grunge' 'UK alt-rock' 'Britpop' era of music. But every Radiohead album is sonically pretty different from each other, and as you mentioned they've had a few later albums which lean quite heavily into an electronic sound. Their "guitarist" Jonny Greenwood is a genius when it comes to instrumentation and composition, and is literally a composer in his own right having done film scores, etc. I would say their most famous or critically acclaimed albums are 'OK Computer' and 'In Rainbows', but if you want to check out more official Radiohead music videos I would suggest: Paranoid Android, No Surprises, Karma Police, Pyramid Song, Knives Out, Daydreaming, Fake Plastic Trees, Just, etc.

On his last I don’t belong here: Freshman year of high school, this song was playing at a school dance, there was a girl, her name was Charlene. She was one of those girls who hung out with the grunge crowd, smelled of patchouli and had long pin straight brown hair, olive skin and brown eyes. I found her to be absolutely beautiful, we never talked much, but would share the occasional getting caught staring at each other embarrassment throughout our freshman year, anyhow back to the dance, somehow at the dance we ended up talking while all the other kids danced the night away. For a moment we were in a full cafeteria with blasting music, but yet alone. Lost in each others eyes and words. Then it happened, Creep came on. The song echoed through my chest and body as I couldn’t take my eyes off her. As he let out his last, I don’t belong here, she leaned over and gave me the softest most innocent peck on the lips. At 15, I was instantly a puddle. She scurried off and the next thing I remember was my mom yelling my name saying, Time to wake up. 😢 it was all a dream. But this song will forever put me back in that school dance. I don’t belong there. 😊

The difference between covering and sampling is that rock bands state upfront their's is a cover, and they'll acknowledge the original songwriters. By contrast, hip hop will blatantly take someone else's instrumentals and use them to record their own songs with different titles, verses, hooks, and subject matter entirely- and never acknowledge the original songwriters in the track listing or liner notes. To rock/metal fans, this is considered very dishonest and insulting

I LOVE this song with as much ferocity as I did when I first heard it on the airwaves in 1992! I hear ya about not keeping songs that have certain lyrics. I think one of the biggest reasons so many loved this song when they did is that, like me, I was a young teenager, seen as a 'weirdo' in a lot of ways, feeling unsure what my purpose was, and the lyrics of this song sort of brought that to the surface in a way that let a lot of us vent our frustrations. It helped me personally not dwell on it due to the intensity of the music played in the song, wrapped up in how good it sounded. It was really cathartic, and actually helped me shrug off those inadequacies so whatever people at my school and even in my family might say about how 'weird' I was, it didn't sink in like it used to. I let myself be as 'weird' as I wanted, because I realized that I wasn't weird; I was just different than others, and that was perfectly ok. LoL Lot of the time they thought me as weird was 'cuz I spent most of my time involved with my church and youth group. I wasn't spending all my time at the mall or hanging around at home doing nothing. So if that meant I was weird, so be it! 😄

@thomasmacdiarmid8251
Ай бұрын
Haley was the singer, but it should be called Postmodern Jukebox's version. PMJ does a lot of totally re-imagined covers and brings in guest vocalists. Haley is in several, but she is not the only singer that works with PMJ. Their collaboration on Creep was definitely awesome and HOT as heck. And very cool at the same time. But I would not say it was better than this, just as Disturbed's Sound of Silence was awesome but so different from Simon and Garfunkel's excellent original that I cannot call it better. PMJ is definitely worth covering. They usually have a 40s-50s sultry lounge styling - might call it torch song style. By the way, BP, it really would be a great reaction to compare the original All About that Bass with Home Free's country acapella cover and PMJ's sultry torch song cover - all very different and all very good for what they aim to be.

As I have explained before, the difference between sampling and covering comes down to giving credit to the originator. When a band does a cover version, the songwriters are given full credit, and royalties are paid. When a sample is taken, more often than not, no credit is given, and no royalties are paid. That's why hip hop gets criticized for sampling. It's not complicated.

Wrong. They only took elements from Albert Hammond song 'the air that I breath'. Even the tone between those two songs are different. However, following legal action, Albert Hammond and Hazelwood were credited as co-writers. After that legal issues, Radiohead, assured their producer, Mr Kolderie that "Creep" was an original song. He called EMI records and convinced them to release it as a single.
This is the original. This song has been covered dozens of times from various artists. In this case, however, the original artist can never be duplicated! This song is iconic!

I'm 65 years old, but I remember hearing this song for the first time. It took me back to being that teenager that didn't fit in with other kids. My family life was just more messed up, and I didn't feel like I fit in with the other kids. Whenbthis song came out, I was grown up with my own family, but that insecure kid jumped out with every word and note of this song and made me face that part of myself. Great music does that.

As I said in another video music that we truly connect can be cathartic by encapsulating and expressing big, intense and frequently confusing emotions (especially the painful ones) that can feel too complex, overwhelming or painful to articulate. Externalising our internal landscape and sometimes even reset it. This close link with emotions is why certain music can so vividly take us back to past times in our lives.

He's just relaying the feeling a lot of people get when they are totally infatuated with someone who either isn't interested or as was the case here, the girl didn't even know him. This was written by Thom Yorke about a girl who was at Uni with him, he was besotted by her but never had the courage to approach her. Apart from once late and night when drunk he told her how she felt and she ran, understandably really given it was late and a stranger who was drunk was telling her he loved her! The lines "She's running again" are about that night. There's a live version of this on YT tagged "Best live Performance". Give yourself a treat and give it a watch, his performance is show stopping. What a band, in my view they can't be pigeonholed , they aren't Rock, Progressive etc etc . They are Radiohead ...

Many rap fans DO NOT listen to rock and therefore are under the impression these great pcs in a song were created by that particular rap artist when in fact it wasn't.

These guys are pre-emo. Lots of people consider sad music "emo," but the original definition of it was emotional hardcore. It came out of the punk/hardcore movement in the US. Bands began to get a little more melodic with frequent stop and starts as well as emotionally heavy subject matter. This came out when I was in high school. It spoke so well what I was feeling. These guys are legit and they do mess with a lot of electronic stuff. The OK Computer album has a lot of that. For a song that will hit you right in the feels by these guys, check out Fake Plastic Trees! I always felt like crapping on hip hop for sampling was weak and probably someone who has no idea what goes into it. I'm a guitar player, and this song is frankly easier for me to play on a guitar than it is to try to chop up a sample, make the pitch, tempo, etc work in another tune. There is so much more than goes into sampling than people realize. I love "found" art, so what that is is art made entirely from stuff that's already out there, but tweaked, chopped up, and recombined. Not everyone puts found art in the same category as fine art and that is a mistake (IMO).

You may be thinking of Portishead which are a triphop band from Bristol with Beth Gibbons on vocals. "Roads" is a great song by them.
This is DEFINITELY the original. There's been several covers, but this is the best by far, in my opinion.
As others have mentioned in the comments, "Creep" is a Radiohead song and Prince covered this song at Coachella. You might also enjoy "Karma Police", another Radiohead time. Also, I'm from Minnesota. More Prince.
This was one of the best song of the 90s, Thom Yorke is one of the the greatest singer that came out of Brittian, and yes this is the original, Dave Chappelle did a cover of this song and did a Great job, and also this song was in the animation movie PROOF OF LIFE
Creep is Radiohead's original song. They don't do covers. As far as I know, everything they sing is original. The lead singer Thom Yorke has the most amazing high vocals. Listen to their song High and Dry for more.
This song is off Radioheads first album and obviously very early in their career (1993), so this is firmly in the 90's 'grunge' 'UK alt-rock' 'Britpop' era of music. But every Radiohead album is sonically pretty different from each other, and as you mentioned they've had a few later albums which lean quite heavily into an electronic sound. Their "guitarist" Jonny Greenwood is a genius when it comes to instrumentation and composition, and is literally a composer in his own right having done film scores, etc. I would say their most famous or critically acclaimed albums are 'OK Computer' and 'In Rainbows', but if you want to check out more official Radiohead music videos I would suggest: Paranoid Android, No Surprises, Karma Police, Pyramid Song, Knives Out, Daydreaming, Fake Plastic Trees, Just, etc.
Radiohead is the original band doing this song. Many artists have done their version of these songs including VoicePlay and it was terrific! Brian Justin Crum did this on his audition for Americas Got Talent and it was fantastic!
Grunge music but Radiohead did move into an electronic era- all of their work is absolutely brilliant (and original btw)
Radiohead are musical geniuses. Nearly 30 years of groundbreaking music. You can’t put them in a genre box. Every next album will subvert your expectations, until you give them up
I LOVE this song. And just because you sing along with it and appreciate it doesn't mean you ARE a creep or a loser. Don't take it so personally. It's not about you. It's Thom Yorke explaining how HE felt when he had an unrequited and ultimately embarrassing crush on a girl at Exeter College.

I love this song because it's so honest. It's Thom's real story.
Radio is an amazing band. They're not for everyone but they should be. You either like them or you don't understand them.
just one of those rare songs that you never seem to get fed up with,however many times you hear it
Yessssss....check Portishead ❤❤❤
On his last I don’t belong here: Freshman year of high school, this song was playing at a school dance, there was a girl, her name was Charlene. She was one of those girls who hung out with the grunge crowd, smelled of patchouli and had long pin straight brown hair, olive skin and brown eyes. I found her to be absolutely beautiful, we never talked much, but would share the occasional getting caught staring at each other embarrassment throughout our freshman year, anyhow back to the dance, somehow at the dance we ended up talking while all the other kids danced the night away. For a moment we were in a full cafeteria with blasting music, but yet alone. Lost in each others eyes and words. Then it happened, Creep came on. The song echoed through my chest and body as I couldn’t take my eyes off her. As he let out his last, I don’t belong here, she leaned over and gave me the softest most innocent peck on the lips. At 15, I was instantly a puddle. She scurried off and the next thing I remember was my mom yelling my name saying, Time to wake up. 😢 it was all a dream. But this song will forever put me back in that school dance. I don’t belong there. 😊

Oh my goodness I was so invested in this story!
"You are special" was the best line I ever heard from you -- and there were some pretty good lines in earlier reactions of yours... But with that one, you nailed it. All the very best best from Germany
Another great tune of their's is Paranoid Android from their album Ok Computer. Radiohead has remained an innovative and compelling band for 30 years
The difference between covering and sampling is that rock bands state upfront their's is a cover, and they'll acknowledge the original songwriters. By contrast, hip hop will blatantly take someone else's instrumentals and use them to record their own songs with different titles, verses, hooks, and subject matter entirely- and never acknowledge the original songwriters in the track listing or liner notes. To rock/metal fans, this is considered very dishonest and insulting

It was really cultural at the time, very much a part of the divergent crew, creep has changed meanings over time.

I mean thats just straight up not true, its very grey actually. In hip hop, not only are the OG artists compensated but the fans are genuinely interested in the sample itself; i cant tell you how many times ive gone to a sampled rap song and seen thousands of "Kanye brought me here" type comments. Whereas I doubt youve ever once gone to one of the original songs where Noel Gallagher from Oasis straight up steals the guitar solo. Its not black and white, theres stealing and sampling on both sides of music

@@danielmcgrath680 Paying the original songwriters royalties has nothing to do with it. The issue that rock/metal listeners have with rappers sampling their music is that the rappers never acknowledge they've used someone else's beat until they're forced to. Rappers don't place an asterisk in their track listings that states it's someone else's music they're rapping over. They don't keep the same choruses, lyrics, or song titles either. They just use their beats to write their own songs to
This is 100% genuine song of them... the song you have in mind is from Meredith Brooks and it's called I'm a bitch i'm a lover
When you see this sung live you realise just how good Thom Yorke's voice is
There’s an actual live version that really shows his vocal prowess. ❤
he has the most amazing voice! ❤
Definitely the original
No, this is the original. No one will ever do this song like them. One of best alternative rock bands of the 90s. Takes me back to high school. Best decade
In the early 1970’s a band ( Alan PARSONS )wrote a song- the air that I breath - the instrumentals were incorporated into “creep " TRadiohead was sued, eventually gave recognition to Alan Parsons group for the instrumentals for Creep. the original version was air that i breathe circa 1972 .
Hey Black Pegasus! I think you may have Portishead confused with Radiohead, Portishead is a bomb ass band too. Check out Radiohead's All I Need next. I think it will touch a part of your soul.
Brian Justin Crums cover on Americas Got Talent is amazing

Not to take away from the original, but that cover is my absolute favourite.
Love the "words matter..." I need to take that more to heart 🤘🤘
I LOVE this song with as much ferocity as I did when I first heard it on the airwaves in 1992! I hear ya about not keeping songs that have certain lyrics. I think one of the biggest reasons so many loved this song when they did is that, like me, I was a young teenager, seen as a 'weirdo' in a lot of ways, feeling unsure what my purpose was, and the lyrics of this song sort of brought that to the surface in a way that let a lot of us vent our frustrations. It helped me personally not dwell on it due to the intensity of the music played in the song, wrapped up in how good it sounded. It was really cathartic, and actually helped me shrug off those inadequacies so whatever people at my school and even in my family might say about how 'weird' I was, it didn't sink in like it used to. I let myself be as 'weird' as I wanted, because I realized that I wasn't weird; I was just different than others, and that was perfectly ok. LoL Lot of the time they thought me as weird was 'cuz I spent most of my time involved with my church and youth group. I wasn't spending all my time at the mall or hanging around at home doing nothing. So if that meant I was weird, so be it! 😄
You should’ve done the live version.. it’s amazing👌🏼
If you thought they had a female singer... you may be thinking of Hailey Reinhart's version of this song. Few times can a cover to be said to be a cooler version of an already ultra cool song

Haley was the singer, but it should be called Postmodern Jukebox's version. PMJ does a lot of totally re-imagined covers and brings in guest vocalists. Haley is in several, but she is not the only singer that works with PMJ. Their collaboration on Creep was definitely awesome and HOT as heck. And very cool at the same time. But I would not say it was better than this, just as Disturbed's Sound of Silence was awesome but so different from Simon and Garfunkel's excellent original that I cannot call it better. PMJ is definitely worth covering. They usually have a 40s-50s sultry lounge styling - might call it torch song style. By the way, BP, it really would be a great reaction to compare the original All About that Bass with Home Free's country acapella cover and PMJ's sultry torch song cover - all very different and all very good for what they aim to be.

Oh thus tune I just had it full blast coming home from work ❤I love his voice having said that Jonny Greenwood composer on this group he is a genius. He has won a Oscar, for the soundtrack of a movie named Phantom thread he’s a genius unbelievable his talent.
This was my freshman year in college and it was the alternative soundtrack. You can hear the pain in Thom’s pain through this whole song. You need to react to one of the live versions of this one.
I think you mean portishead
As I have explained before, the difference between sampling and covering comes down to giving credit to the originator. When a band does a cover version, the songwriters are given full credit, and royalties are paid. When a sample is taken, more often than not, no credit is given, and no royalties are paid. That's why hip hop gets criticized for sampling. It's not complicated.

Exactly! If you sample from another bands song you're required to have the originator "sign off" letting you do so. Some bands works like the HUGEcatalog the Beatles have to pick at I read that they won't sign off. I don't know who's in control of their stuff these days.

They are probably the most influential band since The Beatles so plenty to explore, and lots of different genres!
This was the anthem of every unpopular teen, boy or girl, in love with one ot the more popular kids while going to school in the late 90's. This was what we felt, as much as it hurt. We just felt like creeps and outcasts. We just stayed in the bacground until school was done.
RH are their own genre. This is their early work before they came into their own sound. No one else sounds like them. Their CD, OK Computer changed music. It was so innovative, beautiful and so different from what rock music sounded like. Even today, that CD stands alone and others that they made after that one. They are just so damn good. My top 5 bands of all time. I LOVE RH and I LOOOOVE Thom LOLOL
Radiohead's later stuff IS super abstract and electronic, Thom Yorke also has a couple solo albums that are purely electronic. Super talented all of them
This is by far my favorite reaction from you!! This one is a gem and a half!!!
British music so special and unlike the rest of the music world!!!
This is an amazing song. His vocals are brilliant. It is their song. This is an original. I'm surprised you didn't look up details of the song and band.
One of my favorite songs from high school 30 years ago, and still is in my top 10
It is a song about a girl he had a crush on and thought she was way beyond his reach. Best teenage angst song ever
Good luck down the Radiohead rabbit hole. This is just the tip of the iceberg. What a band.
Radiohead are absolute British gems, Creep being one of their best known songs. And now that you're heading down the Brit rock hole, perhaps you should have a look at Muse as well. Plug In Baby live in Rome would be a great start! Insane vocals and instrumentals all-round. Many people don't understand just how big some British bands are. Muse are epically huge.
Words only have as much power as we give 'em. You're not gonna become a loser just because you sing along to a song that has the word loser in it.
Classic song that every one of us feels describes us, at some time or another. The Post modern Jukebox cover even manages to take it to even higher emotional levels
They are a british band sometimes put in the genre of Art Rock in the uk or alternative in the u.s. Sometimes called experimental Rock, pop, indie rock. This song Creep is one of their biggest hits and in articles they have said they almost didn't record it because they didn't like it.
I feel this song in my soul every time I hear it. Thanks for your reaction.
Paranoid Android by Radiohead is another excellent one.
Teenage angst without a gun, but talent and a pen. Original by them. Great reaction.
I love this song. I felt these words in high school so much.
Yeah - great reaction to a song which expresses the angst of youth!! Love it!
Chills. Absolute masterpiece.
If you're going to go down the Radiohead rabbit hole, you HAVE to check out Street Spirit, Weird Fishes, Staircase and Karma Police to name a few. Another great reaction, brother!
Original all the way definitely not a cover, this was one of those great songs that came out of the 90's, Radiohead are one of the greats
BP, it's okay that you never felt like a creep or a weirdo. But for those of us who felt like a weirdo at one time or another, this was an anthem. This is original. ❤
Great choice and reaction! I think you should do Reckoner Live From The Basement. Also, Prince covered Creep, live. It is a Radiohead song. Cheers.
Radiohead are the originators of this song.All else covers ,samples ,etc.👍🏼🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️
love your reactions man - radiohead are a very progressive/experimental band, hope you work your way through their work
