Haley Reinhart & Vintage Postmodern Jukebox Creates a New Fan With ‘Creep’ Cover

When you get into a business, you see the inner workings. When that happens the business loses some of its "magic". After 20 plus years in radio, I've become pretty jagged. New songs don't impress me at all, and I honestly can't recall the last time a song surprised me in a good way. This afternoon, I was surprised.

There's a cover group out there called Vintage Postmodern Jukebox that puts an old time feel on modern classics. They replace the distorted guitars with piano's and throw in some swingin' horns. I've seen a few of their video's on YouTube, and they've been O.K. but this afternoon I saw there latest effort and I was shocked. Shocked at the fact that I sat through the whole thing, and all the while, with a smile on my face. The most amazing part of this is, it's a cover of a song I'm not a fan of.

The song is "Creep". It was originally done by the group Radiohead. It's a very angst type of song that was big in the 90's. When it came out in 1992, I was "over" whatever pubescent anger I had, so this type of music no longer appealed to me.

Vintage Postmodern Jukebox got some help on there version from former American Idol contestant Haley Reinhart, and now "Creep" is song I love. See for yourself the type of thing that surprises a jagged old DJ.

What's really cool about that version. She did it in one take. For whatever reason you'd want to see the original, here you go.
