It's just bad karaoke by a guy who probably thinks he's being clever, but he's really just being a douche, because don't fuck with the song that way, asshole.
If 4chan were to have a 4chan anthem, then that 4chan anthem would probably be 'Creep'. Which is pretty obvious, I know. But here's the thing: the cool people can't take that song from us. The pretty people can't take that song from us. If you sing that song you better be, if not a creep, than at least a weirdo, okay?
I mean, look at the singer from Radiohead. He's scrawny, with a wonky eye. He's famous now, and people consider him cool, but deep down, he's still one of us. A pudgy drag guy singing the song? Sure, that works, even when he isn't in drag. But I think if he sang it in drag then people would be all over his shit, because it would make it seem like he was calling people in drag creeps. So he kinda had to do it without being dressed in drag, because even when you're a weirdo people will jump your shit for not being a weirdo the right way.
Even Prince works, because he was a weird little dude, but he doesn't sing it as 'I', he keeps using 'you', because I think he's trying to make it spiritual or something. But it still works because Prince was always a weird little dude, so he can get away with it.
But, say, Justin Timberlake singing 'Creep'? Sorry, dude, it won't work. I mean, you seem like you're gay and still fucking Jessica Biel, but that doesn't make you a weirdo, you're just a rich good-looking guy who can't figure out his rich good-looking guy shit, don't go fucking with our song.
Or what about Steven Tyler. He's old and creepy, and he still likes the young chicks, but that's not the right kind of creepy, because old creepy rock stars who like the young chicks are just sad, not weirdos. And Steven Tyler is pretty fucking sad.
So I'm reading this Althouse post, and I start thinking, did Bob Dylan ever cover the song 'Creep'? I look it up, but there's only a guy doing 'Creep' in a bad fake Bob Dylan voice. Which isn't even funny, it's just bad karaoke by a guy who probably thinks he's being clever, but he's really just being a douche, because don't fuck with the song that way, asshole.
But I bet Bob Dylan could do a version that would be okay, because he really is kind of a weirdo. When I was in school you could get your ass kicked for listening to Bob Dylan, because that meant you were some kind of hippie fag. And that's close enough.
