creep is so good, sorry for contributing to the problem radiohead

[fleurs_sauvage7]

It really is. It’s a Radiohead song that people who dislike Radiohead even like.

[iburiedjohn]

They played it a couple of times on their last tour, or at least in the past few years, so I think they e started to accept it hah not that anyone is showing up at a Radiohead concert for “Creep” at this point.

[hannahstarr]

lol yeah, I'm not the biggest Radiohead fan but I love that song. Sorry Radiohead

[thatgum_youlike]

that lyric is not great but "misery business" is such a banger tbh

[sillycucumber2]

Yeah it would be easy to re-write some of the lyrics & Hayley was so young when she wrote the song originally, no one would be mad at her for it. Shame they won't play it live. Might be a bit of "Creep" situation for them too I would guess, since it was a big hit.

And the most problematic lyrics are the best ones. Hahaha. 😬 Who hasn’t screamed “once a whore, you’re nothing more! SORRY HONEY, THAT’LL NEVER CHANGE!

it's the kind of song where i'm suddenly not a feminist lmao

[crystalzelda]

I get it. If I had a song I wrote when I was 15 I had to perform every night for the rest of my career, I’d probably get real sick of it too. I went to a Tamora Pierce book signing a million years ago and she said she really regretted the Jonathan/Alanna relationship - she said it was coercive af bc of the power imbalance, she wrote it in the 80s and really wished she could retcon it lol

They can cry into their money tho!

[winter_lace]

damnnnn I didn't know that about Tamora Peirce

[ellehcimbelle]

omg my Alanna/George shipping self feels vindicated lol, even tho they were problematic too.

[whizzingfizbee]

Adult me can absolutely recognize the truth of that and that they weren't a healthy long-term match, but the 13-year-old in me will never get over the betrayal of them breaking up. And my second choice would have been for Alanna to be on her own just wrecking shit. George felt so out of left field for me. Plus for some reason in my head I had it that George was way older than Alanna, so that always squicked me out too.

i kissed a girl is a mess but no mention of ur so gay, katy?

nvm i missed that this was specifically about *hits*

[judasiscariot]

nnn wait that song has a music video with 64 million hits???

[littleorcs]

That whole era of lyrics were a choice, tbh - see Hot N Cold:

You change your mind/Like a girl changes clothes/Yeah you, PMS/Like a bitch/I would know

[milfordacademy]

She was not like other girls, you see

[frenchmoodle]

I can't listen to Creep anymore because my ex was obsessed with it, and he turned out to be a creep who filmed me in the shower for months without my knowledge or permission.

[insecuredesign]

Omg I’m so sorry that happened to you.

[frenchmoodle]

Oh it's okay, I am over it now, but whenever I hear that song, my immediate reaction is to turn it off so I don't have to picture that guy's gross face masturbating to me as I wipe my pits with a loofah or something.

[frenchmoodle]

Okay, rereading this, maybe I'm not over it!
