Creep RadioHead - Cover

"Creep" is the debut single by the English rock band Radiohead, released on 21 September 1992 by EMI. It was included on Radiohead's debut album, Pablo Honey (1993). It features "blasts" of guitar noise and lyrics describing an obsessive unrequited attraction. Radiohead had not planned to release "Creep", and recorded it at the suggestion of the producers, Sean Slade and Paul Q. Kolderie, while they were working on other songs. They took elements from the 1972 song "The Air That I Breathe" by Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood. Following legal action, Hammond and Hazlewood were credited as co-writers. Kolderie convinced EMI to release "Creep" as a single. It was initially unsuccessful, but achieved radio play in Israel and became popular on American alternative rock radio. It was reissued in 1993 and became an international hit, likened to alt-rock "slacker anthems" such as "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana and "Loser" by Beck. Reviews of "Creep" were mostly positive. EMI pressured Radiohead to match the success, which created tension during the recording of their second album, The Bends (1995). Radiohead departed from the style of "Creep" and grew weary of it, feeling it set narrow expectations of their music, and did not perform it for several years. Though they achieved greater commercial and critical success with later albums, "Creep" remains Radiohead's most successful single. Rolling Stone named it one of the greatest debut singles and included in the 2021 and 2024 editions of its "500 Greatest Songs of All Time". It has been covered by numerous artists. In 2021, the Radiohead singer, Thom Yorke, released a remix with synthesisers and time-stretched acoustic guitar. Radiohead formed in Oxfordshire in 1985[3] and signed a record contract with EMI in 1991.[4] Their 1992 debut, the Drill EP, drew little attention.[5] For their debut single, Radiohead hired the producers Sean Slade and Paul Q. Kolderie and recorded at Chipping Norton Recording Studios in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire.[6] They worked on the songs "Inside My Head" and "Lurgee", but without results.[6] Between rehearsals, Radiohead spontaneously performed another song, "Creep", which the singer, Thom Yorke, had written at the University of Exeter in the late 1980s.[7] Yorke jokingly described it as their "Scott Walker song", which the producers misinterpreted. As they left the studio that night, Slade told Kolderie, "Too bad their best song's a cover."[6] After further recording sessions failed to produce results, Kolderie suggested Radiohead perform "Creep". After the first take, everyone in the studio burst into applause.[6] Radiohead did not know they were being recorded; according to the drummer, Philip Selway, "The reason it sounds so powerful is because it's completely unselfconscious."[8] After Radiohead assured Kolderie that "Creep" was an original song, he called EMI and convinced them to release it as the single.[6] According to Kolderie, "Everyone [at EMI] who heard 'Creep' just started going insane."[6] Slade and Kolderie suggested that the lead guitarist, Jonny Greenwood, record a piano part.[9] While mixing the song, Kolderie forgot to add the piano until the outro, but the band approved of the result.[10] Lyrics According to the critic Alex Ross, "Creep" has "obsessive" lyrics that depict the "self-lacerating rage" of an unrequited attraction.[4] Greenwood said the lyrics were inspired by a woman who Yorke had "followed for a couple of days", and who unexpectedly attended a Radiohead performance.[11] John Harris, then the Oxford correspondent for Melody Maker, said "Creep" was about a girl who frequented the upmarket Little Clarendon Street in Oxford. According to Harris, Yorke preferred the more bohemian Jericho, and expressed his discomfort using the lines "What the hell am I doing here / I don't belong here".[6] Asked if the lyrics were inspired by a real person who made him feel like a "creep", Yorke said: "Yeah. It was a pretty strange period in my life. When I was at college and stuff and I was really fucked up and wanted to leave and do proper things with my life like be in a rock band."[12] Yorke said he was not happy with the lyrics, and thought they were "pretty crap".[13] Asked about "Creep" in 1993, Yorke said: "I have a real problem being a man in the '90s...
