Another "Don't Judge a Song by it's Cover" episode, and today we have a very special Radiohead edition. Creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeep

I'm no Radiohead fan, but when I am I prefer there Pablo Honey album and the early nineties era for the band. Kind of strange since I'm a fan of space weirdass stuff. Actually Hail to The Thief was alright... wait, was that them or was that... fuck it, I don't care. So Radiohead accidentally made a grunge song and was pissed about it afterward. In Tom Yorkes own words he says this song is the bands least favorite. And I can see why, other then the fact it couldn't have come out at a worse time, it was swept under the rug as a Nirvana grunge knock off. And no one wants to be compared to Nirvana. Would you? Didn't think so.

Lyrically, it's pathetic... I mean it's all well and good, but the narrator comes off as a simpering little asspussy. "Oh, you're so special! Oh, I'll never be special, I'm just a creep, I'm just a weirdo!" Well, no wonder she's not impressed with you kiddo. If you were a little more confident and secure with yourself maybe you'd be able to tap that, get a little something-something. The music side is compositionally simple. It's just the chord progression, G, B, C, C minor. They do a lot with it, they'd have to in order to make the song listenable. but still... it's far from the avant garde aims that they had ten years later.

Yeah, it's pretty good though.

And who would be mad enough to cover this song? Just about anyone. Including me.

So let's see, I'm comparing the original to my cover? Oh, that's easy. I win. I always win. My vocal performance is flawless, I turned this trainwreck into the greatest most horrifyingly death defying death death death terrible cover ever. And I want a cookie for it, I want all the cookies. Because I'm a fat mutherfucking dick monkey and you can all swear to it. That's what being a musician is all about. I'm more then a musician, I'm an Artists! I'm just like Tom Yorke, and that means no matter what I do it's the best damn thing ever. And that's why I'm a creep.

So there you have it. Tune in next week, I'm going to talk about the cover to Stairway to Heaven that was performed by a drunken chimpanzee on acid... also known as Tom Yorke. Goodnight everybody.
