Why, why would anyone think this was a good idea

Also pretty much any cover of Creep.

    Also pretty much any cover of Creep.

So much so. The only cover I found I liked (and I've listened to a lot of them, because I thought, "well, maybe this one will be good") was Damien Rice's and that's partially because I believed him. I actually forgot Damien's name and tried to find it on youtube by just searching through creep covers and I couldn't. God damn are there a lot of them.

Even Radiohead can't make it work consistently, and never could. There are plenty of songs that don't want to be covered, but Creep is pretty unique in not wanting to be played at all.
