Dear Prince: STFU. Signed Radiohead


So, The artist known again as Prince covered the classic Radiohead hit "Creep" at a recent concert. Hip cell phone owners caught the shitty performance and uploaded it to YouTube. That's not why this video is so funny to me though.

I guess Prince got all shitty when he found out about the video being so readily available online with no money being paid to his lordship. Any artist who claims ownership of the footage can have the material stopped from broadcasting--MLB is like lightning (try and find footage of Chris Young getting his nose broke) and Prince did so. The video was blocked.

Radiohead front man Thom Yorke heard about it and contacted YouTube, saying, "Hey, that's our fucking song he's singing. Unblock it."

Hat's off, Radiohead.
