Watch a Newly Unblocked Clip of Prince Slaying Radiohead's "Creep"
Prince isn’t the most prolific person on Twitter, but his batting average is provenly high. His latest gift is a link to his cover of Radiohead’s “Creep,” a version that appeared in his 2008 Coachella set.
The eight-and-a-half-minute version luxuriates in the English band’s 1992 debut single, with the wavy, crunchy instrumental vibe intact underneath Prince’s croons and falsetto ad-libs. Plus, yeah, #guitarsolos, plural. By the midway point, you're convinced this might not even be a cover but an alternate reality where the Purple One actually wrote the song and turned it into a calling card of his own.
