Conan O'Brien covers Radiohead Creep

[logician360]

As British as I am and as offended as some people might be, I love it! This is my second favourite Radiohead cover, the first being Regina Spektor's cover of No Surprises.

[thapabvdh]

i bet he did this tour after he got outta late night show

[ScubaStevo99]

god i hate this prick

[themythofcreationism]

Wow singing a song with a unfunny british accent........... Have fun on tbs loser

[Chunibrow]

Ooo silverburst les Paul

[dariancaplinger]

Surprisingly, he didn't sound horrible. I figured it would be a total joke, but he can actually halfway sing. LOL.

[juniwilliams]

@dariancaplinger what? are you having a laugh or just kissing ass?

[jw89]

this makes me wish that was really conan's natural speaking voice

[alienhuman]

Comics wish they were rock stars, but they cover their short-comings with comedy.

[Veggiorto666]

wow. @ comments

[richard8su]

$4000 Gibson Custom is so sweet!

[howlinlevi2]

What a disgrace. Its a good thing hes on TV and has to be scripted otherwise hed ruin every good song. Lol

[GTA5FanMan]

the lyrics came straight from biography

[damens]

LOL - building up to the climax, instead of the notes progressing higher, they just got louder.

[ThePerchKing]

radio-head is the worst band to ever be created

[ibrake4sasquatch]

@ThePerchKing You're a douche canoe.

[martinEATworld]

@ThePerchKing and you are a dick...

[PoomMusicman]

@ThePerchKing you've got a small cojones

[CourteousSoul73]

note to self: assassinate conan o brien

[gross007]

i never understood the big hype over radiohead...they are ok though

[MisterTomServo]

@gross007 then you've probably never heard Kid A, OK Computer or In Rainbows, because those records are unbelievable and ahead of their time

[hellakooked]

@MisterTomServo nothing done on those records was a first. they're not a head of their time, they're just in time.

[juniwilliams]

@gross007 try listening to OK computer, Kid A and see if you have the same opinion. Seriously, this song catapulted them into fame in the US, but radiohead themselves didnt quite enjoy the song. All I can say about this band is that they are quite innovative with melodies and rhythms. Thoms voice is angelic to say the least. Johnny is a sonic genius. Its a Shame O'brian is taking the mickey out of them, but i guess its for the sake of comedy

[slidenaway]

If that's what you meant that's what you should have said. Is that what everyone else meant too? Or maybe they just assumed you knew what you were talking about when you said Oasis covered Creep. Also, just for the record, I'm gonna disagree with your "shitty style" comment. I'm sure you give a shit but whatevs. And how is this even "in the style" of Oasis? Because he's exaggerrating an accent? They never sang like that anyway. I have a sense of humor, *you* still need to get some shit straight.

[MultiFartbreath]

 I feel like throwing tomatoes anyway-its painful, only slightly funny cause he sucks and couldn't do the falsetto part ever so he had to try to funny it up or it would just plain suck. just like oasis es version sucks. Pretenders do by far the best cover of this song ever

[surfmb77]

Jarvis Cocker????

[FenderSunset]

this is what people do when they are afraid to seriously cover a song. act goofy the whole way through to avoid anyone judging their lack of talent

[cazwhitex]

@FenderSunset

He's a comedian....who was also mocking the way Oasis covered Radioheads song. You do know that, right?

[juniwilliams]

@cazwhitex Dave Chappelle is a comedian. Throwing that title at O'brian is an insult to the profession. This is merely a step up form toilet humour.

[TitWarlord]

1:20 - 1:26

The most beautuful thing i've ever heard

[BuffChop420]

hahaha i love conan. what a smart ass!

[xian3001]

Did someone give conan the chords to radiohead's song and never let him actually listen to it? putrid.

[mmtna]

conan is a wierdo

[TheGreyHeaven]

Dude, I have this same guitar, BAHAHA. This is funny.

[larrypotato]

Only conan can do this xD

[vinnyguitarandbass]

He's got a cool guitar...

just sayin'

[0000AllFitness0000]

Correction this is conan o'brien covering oasis covering oliver twist's cover of radiohead's creep :D

[sazopro]

HAHAHAHAHAHA love radiohead but this is just "so fuckin' special"

[Kyle0fCanada]

he should cover lotus flower to...

[SucramNumber2]

awesome haha



[JBYORK14]

Here is the issue with Conan: he is not funny 90% of the time, except for the other 10% of the time when --it pains me to say this-- he is truly hysterical.

[BagelTanker]

@JBYORK14 he is funny all the time. :)

[Porojukaha]

@JBYORK14 Thats so much more impressive to me though than someone like Gay Leno who is funny 0% of the time....but manages to make us laugh because he is really really good at memorizing or reading off the teleprompter what someone else writes for him.

[JBYORK14]

@Porojukaha I don't dislike him. It is just how I see him. He is fun.

[midocrimsonfate]

I love Conan!

I love Radiohead!

[lamrimeater]

lol thats hilarious! i get it the oasis covering radiohead. lol

[Mushywaffles]

Wasn't that funny until I noticed the absolutely horrendous British accent in the second line

[Brambleiah]

Keep in mind this is a soundcheck!

[RecklessGuitar225]

Conan O'brien is the farthest thing from a comedian.

[xxxlawlessxxx1]

@RecklessGuitar225 thats right he's legend

[furseisekilulz]

for the record, if this was anyone else, we'd be throwing tomatoes. Only someone like Conan can pull this off.

[HEARTHEANGELSVOICES]

@furseisekilulz - YEAH -BUT I'D STILL BE THROWING TOMATOES AT THE CREEP !

[furseisekilulz]

GO ON THEN MATES

[imayellowfellow]

this is conan o brien covering oasis covering radiohead's creep

[MrUrmother22]

@imayellowfellow ya fuck oasis

[slidenaway]

@imayellowfellow @MultiFartbreath @cazwhitex WHAT?????????????!?!?!?!! What the fuck are you all talking about??? Oasis has never, and I mean NEVER covered Creep. Get some shit straight why don't you...

[imayellowfellow]

@slidenaway it's a joke... it means singing he's singing a Radiohead song in the shitty style of Oasis, get a sense of humor bro.

[Renegademaster15]

@imayellowfellow Have you ever heard Oasis? He's doing a cockney accent, Oasis are from Manchester, and would glass you for suggesting their Southern Fairies and not Northern Monkeys!

[RJPwner00]

Ok. I love the song. I love Conan, but this was kinda gay.

[TerminalMeltdown]

Has Conan been drinking again tonight?

[Vaalbaara]

And people are surprised why this idiot doesn't have a show anymore.

[DragonFox84]

@Vaalbaara um he does lol hes a great guy but his silliness can get in the way sometimes so its hit and miss with some people.....i love him, most times im like wtf conan what are you on....

[maalbe987]

@Vaalbaara He's had a show on TBS since late 2010.

[GDjesusOfsuburbia]

not the funniest conan joke.. and i like radiohead very much too tought

[TheAaron3dg]

Totally didn't know Conan was a musician.

[smelllllltz]

i guess we can see why radiohead refuses to play this live anymore..

[Leaf13]

Hurt my ears - was there some comedy under the scar tissue? Awful.

[sabongwon]

LMAO!!!!!

[Xtreme2252]

Conan's awesome

[ilikeredandblack]

he sings weird just because he couldn't sing it even if he didn't do a voice. don't mock the thom.

I hate Conan, and not because of this... I just think he's cocky and has no repect for anybody... and radiohead was the first band that played on his very first show! and this was the song...

[Imal00ter20]

@ilikeredandblack It's a joke, obviously. Lighten up.

[serveaux1]

Is he legally prohibited from being funny on Youtube too? Pret-ty lame, Milhouse.

[AdrianKrimson]

HAHA that was painful .

[everywhereimnot]

Oh Coco, I love you.

[nobodysuspected]

he has some of thoms mannerisms in parts where i don't think he means to... the head shake when the chorus kicks in... facial scruff...

[pickslidin]

Radiohead would love this. Thom said the song is a joke in and of itself.

[ItalianBandit]

@pickslidin He also said it hurts him to sing....

[pickslidin]

@ItalianBandit Thom wrote "Creep" knowing very well that it would be a hit, that is almost every human can relate to the lyrics and the melody is very catchy / radio-friendly. Thom knew even at that young of an age, all you need is one solid pop song to enjoy a lifetime career of writing whatever kind of music your heart desires. This is why "Creep" is rarely played live; the song stands as an ironic proof of human naivety. I don't think Thom would mind what Conan is doing one bit.

[megumichan17]

So, what I'm getting from the comments is... People aren't allowed to be funny anymore? He's a freaking comedian. If Stephen Colbert did a cover of Stairway to Heaven and completely butchered it, you know what I'd do? Laugh my ass off.

[jimimyhero]

Radiohead and conan are my two favorite talented peoples.

[xRoCstarx1]

would've been funnier if he sang this with a creeppy face instead of trying so hard to be funny

[LegendaryxEyes]

He should've actually sung it. It would've sounded good. I know he actually has a good voice. This is just kind of lame.

[Pr0fessorScience]

Conan, you're fooling no one. It's easy to tell on your show which musical guests you actually like, and you have great taste. Wanna sing Creep? Then sing it. Be brave enough to not make a joke.

[fussonsoul]

Dude don't tear down a great pop tune with your clownish ways, keep your egomania away from our pop-music subconscious, that should be as illegal as stealing a Picasso picture

[DrRediculousMD]

Damn Conan! Nice Silverburst!

[MjoelH]

THIS MADE MY DAY!!

[davidgrabarczyk3]

FUCK YOU CORNEY O BRIAN

[ThinCrustPizza67]

Conan is a professional troll.

[Durbikins]

In this video we see Conan O'Brien just having a good time while 'Radiohead fans' get butthurt because he sings the only song they know.

[TheOneartist]

@Durbikins haha Pretty much.

[etejuanete3]

@Durbikins hahaha moron. don't generalize man. bad idea. YES i got "butthurt" cuz this was LAME. . Actually I could bet i know more songs than you or a an average Rh fan does

[Durbikins]

@etejuanete3

OH BOY OH BOY! A CHALLENGE!

[ImGrizzleBEAR]

@etejuanete3 Lol you just proved even more that your just another butthurt hipster. By bragging about how you know more songs than the average Radiohead fan. I bet you "liked Radiohead before it was cool to like Radiohead" to huh.

[etejuanete3]

@ImGrizzleBEAR first off, you never said "hipster" in your first comment, you said we were "butthurt" because we didn't know any other song. and I'm not hipster (not really offended by that) I'm a musician. I started liking Radiohead in the Kid A era (2000) and btw in the 90's it was cooler to like Radiohead than it is now, because of the shitty pop culture we have nowadays

[iMovT]

why do people get so butt hurt. He's a comedian calm down people

[TheOneartist]

@iMovT Creep is extremely overrated anyway. Radiohead would have approved.

I wonder how many people making hate comments are fans of their album masterpieces, including "Kid A".

[bmarkism]

@TheOneartist AGREED!

[etejuanete3]

@TheOneartist you can't just say if Rh would have approved... maybe if he was actually a GOOD comedian they would've, because this was rather ridiculous. and not in the good way.

BTW don't judge people. I'm a big Rh fan and probably may others around here are too.

[bigfattrolllord]

@iMovT because his version sucks and he's a 20 liter douchebag.

[micron002]

@iMovT We get "butt hurt" because he's not a very GOOD comedian.

[punkdrummah]

@micron002 That's ok. You're a terrible YouTube commenter.

[micron002]

@punkdrummah 2 people disagree with you. Looks like you're outnumbered, biotch.

[punkdrummah]

@micron002 That's ok. I prefer not to be liked by the lowest common denominator.

[micron002]

@punkdrummah Sounds to me that you prefer not to be liked. Period.

[etejuanete3]

shove a dick into your mouth, choke, and DIE

[TheCabbageLord]

Hope he gets cancer

[Qanths]

there are a shitload of other songs that are worse, he should go make fun of those songs! not good heartfelt music!

[frenchcakex]

Oh my god O.O

[jjysoserious]

he fucking sucks destroying the song

[Synard66]

@jjysoserious He sucks destroying the song? So he's good at not destroying it?

[Conanfan0824]

What does Conan say in the few seconds at the beginning when he says "--- angel. Your (word I don't know) skin makes me cry"?

[4mayZing]

@Conanfan0824 "Your bleedin' skin makes me cry"

[jostaful]

DAMN GINGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[curlymolly70]

If he had a soul it would ALL be different...

[biscuitsmum]

omg CONAN ROCKS THIS SHIT!!!!

[CTeamAwsome]

are you fucking kidding me no wonder thom yorke hates america this is stupid

[kaykaygrace1014]

i can believe that hes a creep. very funny conan

[Conanfan0824]

What does he say? "You're ____ skin makes me cry."

[DkrovososD]

He just killed my favourite song...goddangit

[indigoeast4444]

If I wasn't so sore from him making fun of one of my favourite bands and one of my favourite songs, I'd be laughing~ xD I admitted it at least~

[grasie1234]

i think hes making a idiot out of himself by singing it so stupidly, if your taking the time to play the guitar and have a band behind you, you owe it to them to not be a yelling moron making fun of a great song

[ilikeredandblack]

he's making fun. what a bitch.

[crissangelbelieve6]

I think he didn't do a horrible job at it. I think the guitar work was pretty damn good if I do say so myself.

[kidairbag9]

wow this sucks. not funny Conan.

[themythofcreationism]

radiohead was his first music act on his show. this was also the song

[MrHutchart]

well that was creepy.

[landonguyen]

HAHAHA! I heard him this do this yesterday at a taping

[julieannaClark]

LOVE YOU CONAN!

[glazsmn31]

this is the best thing ive ever seen conan do..

[senorportie]

Radiohead is NOT the original artist of this song stop givin em credit

[Specklepirch]

@senorportie yes they are.

[kmcc2576]

@senorportie yes they are.

[GraveyardKing666]

@senorportie

Actually,Radiohead is the original artist of Creep.Thom Yorke wrote it around '87 or '88,and it was released on Radiohead's first album in 1992. It sounds similar to "The Air That I Breathe" by The Hollies released in '73,but it's not the same song. But because the songs sound similar in arrangement,Radiohead co credited Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood of The Hollies as writers on the song.

[senorportie]

@GraveyardKing666 impressive ;)

[interstellar10]

Holy Cow! I posted a comment over a year ago about Conan "mocking" Radiohead.. Don't really remember what was said, but I've received a bunch of emails about it saying: "It was meant to be a joke.. " or "He likes the band and here's the proof.. "

Lighten-up everyone the comment was a fleating thought. I like both Radiohead and Conan.

One thing is clear - Love 'em or hate 'em, Radiohead are among the most influential bands for the last two or three decades! Peace.

[DoYouDigItNow]

This is terrible in a good way.

[gearsofwar198]

im gonna get bitch slapped by helen mirren XD

[libelle156]

Next watch Thom doing pretty much the same thing to "Wonderwall" :P

[ffernandez18]

This creep is hilarious!!!!!

[ffernandez18]

This song is so great and Coco butchers it like none other and thats a good things. This cre

[mysticblue436]

Coco has good taste in music. We honestly must have the same msuic taste and I'm so much younger than him.
