'''Creep''' was the second single from the rock band, [[Radiohead]]. When it was first released, [[BBC Radio 1|Radio 1]] found it too depressing, and so after being aired only twice, it was taken off the station's playlist.
The song has been analyzed by many people, and theories of what it's about range from [[Thom Yorke]]'s terrifying childhood to Thom's deceased wife. (A common [[mondegreen]] mishears the first line of the chorus 'I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo' as 'I'm a creep, I'm a widow.') Yorke, however, was not an abused child, nor has he been married. At certain shows, Yorke offered a partial explanation of the song. Written while he was at [[Exeter]], he says, it tells the tale of a drunken student who tries to get the attention of a woman he's attracted to; in the end, he lacks the self-confidence to pull it off.
