Billie Eilish performs Radiohead's 1992 classic 'Creep'
Social media users are praising Billie Eilish's stripped-down version of 'Creep'.
Billie Eilish treated concertgoers at her Amsterdam show to a cover of Radiohead's hit single, 'Creep'.
The 23-year-old is in the city until Wednesday, May 7, for her 'Hit Me Hard and Soft' tour.
The 'Birds of a Feather' hitmaker switched up her usual setlist to include the 'Creep' cover, much to the delight of her fans. "She ate that," one X user wrote.
A second user said: "Someone put this on Spotify right this second."
Radiohead released 'Creep' in 1992 as the debut single from their studio album 'Pablo Honey'.
"But I'm a creep/ I'm a weirdo/ What the hell am I doin' here?/ I don't belong here," the band sings.
Frontman Thom Yorke told Rolling Stone magazine in 1993 that he wrote the song when he was in college.
“I wasn’t very happy with the lyrics; I thought they were pretty crap,” he said.
In 2024, the publication listed 'Creep' as one of the '500 Greatest Songs of All Time', ranking it #118.
Radiohead's highest ranked track on the list was 2000's 'Idioteque', which came in at #48.

Eilish's Radiohead cover won't come as a surprise to her diehard fans.
The Grammy Award winner previously revealed that Radiohead was one of the bands that inspired her 'Hit Me Hard and Soft' album.
In 2019, Yorke said that his daughter is a big fan of the 'What Was I Made For?' singer.
He took her to one of Eilish's concerts and was impressed with what he saw.
“I like Billie Eilish. She’s doing her own thing. Nobody’s telling her what to do," he told The Times.
Next up on the singer's tour is Berlin, Germany.
She will also visit Poland, Italy, Austria, France, Spain, Scotland, Ireland, England, and the Czech Republic.
