The best and weirdest cover versions of Radiohead's Creep - Upworthy

Radiohead's "Creep" has been covered dozens of times in a range of musical styles. Here are some of the best and strangest renditions.
The honky-tonk version is oddly impressive.

Amazing, right? I mean, I kind of hate it—sorry honky-tonk fans—but I'm also genuinely impressed. The matchup of the backup vocals with the video clips is perfection.

If you need to wash that out of your ears, more pleasant-to-listen-to versions are plentiful. Halle Bailey (of Chloe x Halle twin fame) recently shared a stripped-down cover version on TikTok with just her voice and an electric guitar and it's lovely.

Some of the best covers are the simple acoustic versions with just a singer and a guitar, like this one from Daniela Andrade.

Ever heard an entire choir sing Creep? Check this out:

Scala & Kolacny Brothers is a Belgian girls' choir and their version is more haunting than anything else. It's the creepiest of the Creeps for sure, but very cool.

My personal favorite is the Vintage Postmodern Jukebox cover featuring Haley Reinhart. The big band sound is so unexpected for the song, the vocals are stellar, and it's just hands-down the best version I've come across.

Sorry diehard Radiohead fans, but Creep isn't going anywhere anytime soon. People young and old love it and if musicians keep making it their own, it's probably going to outlast us all.

(Final note: It seems remiss not to include the 2021 remix of Creep released by Thom Yorke of Radiohead himself. It's not on my list of favorites, but it's interesting to see how he's interpreting the song three decades later.)
