“Creep” is the first single released by the English alternative rock band Radiohead, and is a track on their debut album, Pablo Honey (1993). It was written by the band’s singer, Thom Yorke, and released in the United Kingdom initially in September 1992. When it was first given limited release, however, Radio 1 found it “too depressing”, and removed it from their playlist after airing it only twice. However, it subsequently became one of the band’s biggest hits, and became their only Top 40 hit in the United States until 2008’s “Nude”, despite the success of their future albums in the country. The song re-entered the UK chart at number 37 on 8 June 2008, as a result of downloads, following the release of the Radiohead: The Best Of album earlier that month.
Covers
Prince cover
In April 2008, Prince covered ‘Creep’ at Coachella. This version was captured on a video from a concert-goer’s cell phone, and promptly uploaded to Youtube. However, it was quickly taken down at Prince’s request. After finding out about the blocking, Thom Yorke was quoted as saying, “Well, tell him to unblock it. It’s our song.”
Weezer cover
Weezer covered “Creep” during their 2008 Hootenanny Tour with bassist Scott Shriner on lead vocals. Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo stated that the song was picked to cover because “it’s incredible what they do with four chords, over and over.”
Korn cover
Korn covered “Creep” on their unplugged album.
Anberlin cover
Anberlin covered “Creep” in Lost Songs.
Scarling cover
Scarling covered “Creep” on their single of Band Aid Covers the Bullet Hole.

I'd never usually listen to Creep, but it's literally just hit me as being like the 'voice of a generation' and all that malarky- it's one of those songs that you hear a lot and you dismiss as being 'too obvious' and then you hear it again and realise it's perfect.
