"'''Creep'''" is a [[song]] by the English [[alternative rock]] band [[Radiohead]]. Radiohead released "Creep" as their debut single in 1992, and it later appeared on their first album, ''[[Pablo Honey]]'' (1993). During its initial release, "Creep" was not a chart success. However, upon re-release in 1993, it became a worldwide hit. Attendees of Radiohead's early gigs often exhibited little interest in the band's other songs, causing the band to react against "Creep" and play it less often during the mid-to-late 1990s. In 1998, halfway through their ''[[OK Computer]]'' tour, the band dropped the song from set lists altogether. "Creep" was not played live again until 2001, but it has since reappeared several times on the band's live sets.
 
In 2008, the song was included in the ''[[Radiohead: The Best Of]]'' [[compilation album]].
 
== Background and recording ==
According to Radiohead bassist [[Colin Greenwood]], [[Thom Yorke]] wrote "Creep" while studying at [[Exeter University]] in the late 1980s.<ref name="postrockband">Marzorati, Gerald. "[http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0CE1D6143AF932A35753C1A9669C8B63&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=4 The Post Rock Band]". ''The New York Times''. 1 October 2000. Retrieved on 28 July 2008.</ref> Guitarist [[Jonny Greenwood]] said the song was inspired by a girl that Yorke had followed around who showed up unexpectedly during a show by the band.<ref name="Kempf">Kempf, Christi. "The Radiohead Vision Creeps Onto Airwaves". ''Chicago Sun-Times''. 7 June 1993.</ref>
 
In 1992 during rehearsal sessions with producers Sean Slade and Paul Q. Kolderie, Radiohead spontaneously performed "Creep". Yorke described "Creep" to the producers as "our [[Scott Walker (singer)|Scott Walker]] song"; Slade and Kolderie mistook the singer's remark and believed the song was a [[Cover version|cover]].<ref>Randall, p. 83</ref> After tension arose due to unsatisfactory attempts at recording other songs, Slade and Kolderie tried to improve morale by requesting Radiohead to play "Creep" again. The band recorded the song in a single take; after the performance everyone in the room burst into applause. Once the band assured Kolderie that "Creep" was an original song, he called EMI to tell them to consider the song as Radiohead's next single.<ref>Randall, p. 83-84</ref> While the recording had minimal overdubs and the band did not intend to release it, the producers were impressed with the song.<ref name="postrockband" /><ref>Sprague, David. "Contagious Creep". ''Billboard''. 15 May 1993.</ref>
 
Due to similarities to "[[The Air That I Breathe]]", a song recorded by [[The Hollies]] in 1973, Radiohead was successfully sued for [[plagiarism]]. Consequently, [[Albert Hammond]] and [[Mike Hazlewood]] are credited as co-writers of "Creep".<ref>Wardle, Ben. "[http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2009/may/12/coldplay-yusuf-islam Get off Coldplay's case – similar songs can co-exist peacefully]". Guardian.co.uk. 12 May 2009. Retrieved on 22 September 2010.</ref><ref>"[http://www.alberthammond.com/song.php?id=426 Song info: 'Creep']", ''AlbertHammond.com''.</ref> "Creep" uses a chord progression used in "The Air That I Breathe" in its verse and a melody from "The Air That I Breathe" in the bridge following the second chorus.<ref>English, Tim (2007). ''Sounds Like Teen Spirit: Stolen Melodies, Ripped-Off Riffs, and the Secret History of Rock and Roll'', p.149. ISBN 9781583480236.</ref>
 
== Composition and lyrics ==
[[Image:Radiohead "Creep" ostinato.png|thumb|350px|[[Ostinato]] from Radiohead's "Creep" features [[modal mixture]], [[common tone]]s between adjacent triads (B between G & B, C and G between C+ & C−, see: [[Macro analysis]]), and an emphasis on [[subdominant]] harmony (IV = C in G major).<ref name="Capuzzo">Capuzzo, Guy. "Neo-Riemannian Theory and the Analysis of Pop-Rock Music", p.186–87, ''Music Theory Spectrum'', Vol. 26, No. 2, pp. 177–199. Autumn 2004.</ref>{{Audio|Radiohead "Creep" ostinato.mid|Play}}]]
 
The G–B–C–Cm [[chord progression]] is repeated throughout the whole song, just alternating between [[arpeggio|arpeggiated]] chords in the [[verse (music)|verses]] and last [[refrain|chorus]] and loud [[power chord]]s during the first two choruses. In G major, these may be interpreted as "I–III–IV–iv".<ref name="Capuzzo" /> According to Guy Capuzzo, the [[ostinato]] musically portrays "the song's obsessive [[lyrics]], which depict the 'self-lacerating rage of an unsuccessful crush'." For example, the "highest pitches of the ostinato form a prominent [[chromatic]] line that 'creeps' up, then down, involving [[scale degree]]s <math>\hat 5</math>– {{music|sharp}}<math>\hat 5</math>– <math>\hat 6</math>– {{music|flat}}<math>\hat 6</math>....[while] ascend[ing], the lyrics strain towards optimism...descend[ing], the subject sinks back into the throes of self-pity...The guitarist's fretting hand mirrors this contour".<ref>Capuzzo ibid. Also quotes Ross 2001, 118.</ref>
 
When the song shifts from the verse to the chorus, Jonny Greenwood plays three blasts of guitar noise ("dead notes" played by releasing fret-hand pressure and picking the strings). Greenwood said he did this because he did not like how quiet the song was; he explained, "So I hit the guitar hard—really hard".<ref name="Kempf" /> Ed O'Brien said, "That's the sound of Jonny trying to fuck the song up. He really didn't like it the first time we played it, so he tried spoiling it. And it made the song."<ref>[http://paulmcgarry.com/cdcatalogue/details/1465.html ''CD Inlay Archive''. 1993]</ref> During the song's [[Conclusion (music)|outro]], Jonny Greenwood plays a piano figure. Kolderie forgot to add the piano part during the final mix until the end of the song, but the band approved of the final result.<ref>Randall, p. 98</ref>
 
According to Yorke, "Creep" tells the tale of an inebriated  man who tries to get the attention of a woman to whom he is attracted by following her around. In the end, he lacks the self-confidence to face her and feels he subconsciously is her. When asked about "Creep" in 1993, Yorke said, "I have a real problem being a man in the '90s... Any man with any sensitivity or conscience toward the opposite sex would have a problem. To actually assert yourself in a masculine way without looking like you're in a hard-rock band is a very difficult thing to do... It comes back to the music we write, which is not effeminate, but it's not brutal in its arrogance. It is one of the things I'm always trying: To assert a sexual persona and on the other hand trying desperately to negate it."<ref>Sullivan, Jim. "Creep stumbles onto fame". ''The Boston Globe''. 8 October 1993.</ref> Jonny Greenwood said the song was in fact a happy song about "recognizing what you are".<ref name="Kempf" />
 
The version issued for US radio play replaced the line "So fucking special" with "So very special". The group was worried that issuing a censored version would be a "bit of a sellout" according to Jonny Greenwood, but they decided it was acceptable since their idols [[Sonic Youth]] had done the same thing. Nonetheless, Greenwood noted the British press "weren't impressed" by the action.<ref name="Kempf" /> During the recording session for the censored lyrics, Kolderie convinced Yorke to rewrite the first verse, telling him he thought the singer could do better.<ref>Randall, p. 99</ref>
 
== Release and reception ==
Despite initial reluctance, staff at EMI ultimately grew enthusiastic about "Creep", and the label decided to issue it as a single.<ref>Randall, p. 84-85</ref> "Creep" met with little success in the UK when it was first released in September 1992. [[BBC Radio 1|Radio 1]] found the song "too depressing" and refrained from playing the song.<ref name="MELODY">Jennings, Dave. "Creepshow". ''Melody Maker''. 25 September 1993.</ref> "Creep" reached number 78 on the [[UK Singles Chart]], selling only 6,000 copies.<ref>Randall, p. 88</ref> The band soon moved onto a second single, "[[Anyone Can Play Guitar]]", to promote the album ''Pablo Honey'', and released a non-album single, "[[Pop Is Dead]]".
 
Towards the end of 1992,  [[DJ]] [[Yoav Kutner]] played "Creep" incessantly on the [[Israel]]i radio. He had been introduced to the song by a local representative of [[EMI]]. The song soon became a national hit. Radiohead quickly set up tour dates in the country to capitalise on the success.<ref>[http://israelity.com/2009/01/20/the-radiohead-israel-connection/ Harry Rubinstein, The Radiohead - Israel connection ]</ref> "Creep" had similar success in [[New Zealand]], [[Spain]], and [[Scandinavia]]n countries.<ref>Randall, p. 90-91</ref> Around the same time, the [[San Francisco]], [[California]] radio station [[KITS]] added the song to its playlist; and soon other radio stations along the American west coast followed suit. A censored version of the song was made available to radio stations, and by the second half of 1993, the song had become a hit nationwide.<ref name="postrockband" /> By the time Radiohead went to the United States, they were surprised by the success of the song. Yorke told ''[[Melody Maker]]'' in 1993 that many journalists misunderstood the song, asking him if it was a "joke".<ref name="MELODY"/>
 
Radiohead initially did not want to reissue "Creep" in the United Kingdom, but eventually relented. Bassist [[Colin Greenwood]] said that "after doing so well in America, there was this tremendous pressure from radio people, the press, the record company, even our fans, to put it out".<ref>Randall, p. 117</ref> The 1993 reissue reached number seven on the UK Singles Chart.<ref>Randall, p. 118</ref> The release was bolstered by a September 1993 ''[[Top of the Pops]]'' performance, which drew criticism from the music press and fellow artists: [[Oasis (band)|Oasis]] guitarist [[Noel Gallagher]] opined that Radiohead were willing to appear on the show and alter the lyrics to reflect the clean edit of the song "because it made them more money".<ref name="Kempf" /><ref>''[[Live Forever: The Rise and Fall of Brit Pop]]''. 2003. Bonus interviews.</ref> In December 2007, the song was ranked at #31 on "[[VH1]]'s 100 Greatest Songs of the 90's".<ref>[http://blog.vh1.com/2007-12-13/top-100-songs-of-the-90s/ 100 Greatest Songs of the '90s]</ref> In June 2008, "Creep" reentered the UK Singles Chart at number 37 after its inclusion on the compilation album ''[[Radiohead: The Best Of]]''.<ref name="officialUKChart">[http://www.theofficialcharts.com/top40_singles_last.php?week=1&end=08/06/2008%20-%2014/06/2008 The Official UK Charts Company: Top 100 Singles Chart]. 15 June 2008</ref>
 
== Performances ==
After mid-1998, Radiohead did not play the song live at all until the final encore of a 2001 hometown concert at [[South Park, Oxford]], when they played it in a seemingly impromptu decision after an equipment failure on the organ just after the start of "Motion Picture Soundtrack".<ref>{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/reviews/1429002.stm | work=BBC News | title=Rapturous return for masters of misery | date=8 July 2001 | accessdate=30 April 2010}}</ref> Thom Yorke commented that they would be playing a "slightly older song... I think."  To date, the last major performance of the song was at [[Reading Festival]] 2009, where it opened their set.<ref>{{cite web|title=Radiohead at Reading Festival - Live Report |url=http://www.ateaseweb.com/2009/08/30/radiohead-at-reading-festival-live-report/|work=Ateaseweb.com|date=30 August 2009|accessdate=31 August 2009}}</ref>
 
In April 2008, [[Prince (musician)|Prince]] covered "Creep" at Coachella. This version was captured on a video from a concert-goer's mobile phone, and 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."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://music.yahoo.com/read/news/60761951 |title=Radiohead News - Yahoo!
