Radiohead – Creep

“Creep” is one of Radiohead’s most iconic songs and one of their first big hits. It was released as a single in 1992 before appearing on their debut album, “Pablo Honey”, released in 1993. The song was instrumental in popularizing the band and became a 1990s alternative rock classic. .

The song is about feelings of alienation, isolation and insecurity. The chorus, where Thom Yorke sings “I’m a creep, I’m a weirdo”, captures the essence of these emotions. The song expresses feelings of not belonging and feeling different from others, which resonated with a wide audience.

The musical structure of “Creep” is relatively simple, but it is marked by contrasts between the calmer and introspective verses, and the more explosive and emotional choruses.

The song was both acclaimed and controversial upon its release. Although she propelled Radiohead to stardom, the band later had mixed feelings towards her, particularly due to her massive popularity which at times seemed to overshadow their later work. However, “Creep” remains a staple song in Radiohead’s catalog and in alternative rock history.
