Some demented dude at work once told me that Radiohead's "Creep" was his "personal anthem." I decided to stay the fuck away from that weirdo from that point on. "Creep" is definitely a true oddity - although this catchy tune is not at all representative of Radiohead's style, it has become the band's biggest hit. In fact, the band got so sick and tired of the song that they play it very rarely in concert. Radiohead's lead singer, Thom Yorke, has admitted writing "Creep" while he was a student at Exeter University, so many critics have assumed that the song is autobiographical. I personally believe that "Creep" resonates with any dude who's hanging out at a bar, fucked up, thinking he can hit on any slut in the place (but ultimately heading home like a total loser, destined to face his hangover alone). Ironically, there's nothing too "special" about the Creep music video - basically some overwrought concert footage. What a disappointment . . .
