Creep
by Radiohead
Educated ears will, however, notice an undeniable question from The Hollies’ ‘The Air That I Breathe’ near the end of ‘Creep’ —and rest assured it was intentional. “What happened was, we wrote ‘Creep’, and the middle eighth just had… my guitar playing a tune”, says Greenwood. “And Ed stopped [us] and said, ‘This is the same chord sequence as that Hollies song’, and then sang it. So Thom copied it. It was funny to us in a way, sort of feeding something like that into [it]. It’s a bit of change.” (Fender Frontline, fall 1993)
