It's good, though! God knows I never need to hear Creep ever again, but I dig this version, especially when it changes direction after a minute or so.

maybe if enough people write better versions of Creep, Radiohead will never need to play it again! they'd love that

I was ready to write it off as accidental but the bit where she sings "there's no more chasing rainbows" is virtually identical, this isn't a Blurred Lines/Marvin Gaye thing. But fuck lawsuits.

@LanaDelRey: gorgeous, timeless, has music that generations of people enjoy and relate to, cares about the art, not the money@radiohead: ugly, irrelevant, forgotten fad with a dying fan base, desperate to harass REAL artists for money to finally retire & pay their medical bills pic.twitter.com/FKOANdu4vw— bitch snacks (@slut4satan_) January 7, 2018

'Get Free' sounds way more like 'Creep' than 'Creep' sounds like 'The Air That I Breathe'.

my feelings on this matter have been complicated by recollection of that whole wire/elastica thing
― #TeamHailing (imago), Monday, 8 January 2018 20:13 (six years ago) link
'Get Free' sounds a lot like 'Creep'. I immediately noticed it on first listen and I'm pretty sure I even mentioned it in this thread.
That being said, this lawsuit is dumb and this kind of stuff really should be allowed.

That verse melody is identical and they probably knew it when they were making the track. Whatever they end up giving away on the songwriting is probably worth the trending clicks.
― earlnash, Monday, 8 January 2018 22:39 (six years ago) link
what I like about the Iranian Video is that it seems that they are actually playing Get Free, which I hope they are.
my feelings on this matter have been complicated by the fact that Radiohead played a concert last year at a Tel Aviv concert venue that was built at the site of the ruins of a Palestinian village.

Radiohead should repay the favor by covering LDR. I'd pay good money to hear Yorke sing "my pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola"

« That verse melody is identical and they probably knew it when they were making the track. Whatever they end up giving away on the songwriting is probably worth the trending clicks »Otm. Listened to this due to this issue. This is blatant rip off!I don’t see how they (LDR, her lawyers, etc) could event dream getting away with it in justice.
― AlXTC from Paris, Tuesday, 9 January 2018 08:26 (six years ago) link
am i misremembering that "radiohead" also filed suit against someone else for something like this recently, but got a lot of flak for it, and then backed down and blamed it on their lawyers? maybe that was u2.
― akm, Tuesday, 9 January 2018 11:51 (six years ago) link
The difference is that The Hollies were "punching up" when they sued Radiohead. This is punching.. not down, but I guess laterally? Musicians gotta remember that these sorts of sue-me decisions are inherently as much a part of their art practice as "their choice of hat"
― flamboyant goon tie included, Tuesday, 9 January 2018 15:25 (six years ago) link
"Fuck sueing a hat!"

There's some sort of meta tangent here related to Prince covering "Creep" and then demanding the video be taken down and Radiohead demanding it stay up.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 9 January 2018 15:39 (six years ago) link
trying to work out which direction wire were punching elastica is giving me a headache. i guess they were never outright moralisers like radiohead and never pretended to be anything other than aloof assholes so it feels less ridiculous

oh the prince creep cover is about 637473x better than the original, yorke had that one right

In a twist, I heard that Radiohead is being sussudioed by Phil Collins.

It's a crazy story because Collins didn't actually sue Radiohead. It involves Collins being the witness to Radiohead intentionally stealing a song from another band — laughing and bragging that they'd get away with it. Collins stayed quiet for a number of years and then finally turned them in — by inviting them to a concert singing Against All Odds, which he dedicated to them during that performance while shining a spotlight on them. Immediately after he finished singing they were all arrested for plagiarism.

Phil Collins once wrote a song about saving someone from drowning. And that person grew up to be Radiohead!
