Or learn about The 5 Most Famous Musicians Who Are Thieving Bastards. So there's a new goal for all of you aspiring musicians and garage bands out there: May you someday make a song so iconic and universally loved that the sheer mention of it sends you into a fit of rage.įor more creations hated by their creators, check out 6 Classics Despised by the People Who Created Them. That is exactly how Thom Yorke feels about "Creep." Keep in mind that tickets to see Radiohead routinely sell for hundreds of dollars, so imagine paying that price, as a fan, only to see their biggest hit get sweatily mashed out by an unwashed Moby. The band has even asked other artists they tour with to play it for them, just so they won't have to.
When fans inevitably request "Creep," Yorke has responded on various occasions by telling them to fuck off, storming offstage, and inexplicably calling everyone in the audience "anally retarded," which is an affliction we cannot begin to imagine. He rechristened the song "Crap," and displayed about as much affection for it as that would suggest (Yorke claims that Radiohead " sucked Satan's cock" when they rode "Creep" to stardom, a statement likely made from within the mansion that Satan's cock paid for). He quickly grew to despise "Creep" for making him a poster boy for self-loathing (in addition to, and we cannot stress this enough, making his band both popular and relevant). Worse yet (in Yorke's eyes), people were connecting Yorke himself with the song, believing that he was the lonely, depressed subject of its narrative.
