Oh Coco, you’re so “Creep”-y. Hours before our own Dan Snierson hit the Oregon trail to document the opening night of Conan O’Brien’s national comedy tour, everyone’s favorite late-night ginger busted his best impromptu Thom Yorke in a pre-show soundcheck.
Watch the TBS newbie take on “Creep,” with Conan-ically customized lyrics (Hugh Laurie and Helen Mirren, you’ve been served), after the jump:
“Chimney sweep”? Indeed. He is fully Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins (minus the soot smears, plus dad jeans). And I do enjoy the extended rabid meowing bit at around 1:12. Would Yorke and co. approve? If not, the karma police will surely move O’Brien’s show to WE or the Game Show Network.

I never liked that creep song, even with CoCo ‘covering’ it. Can’t wait till’ he’s on TBS
I don’t think Radiohead does either, so I would imagine they’re alright with it.
can someone post the lyrics? i can’t understand what he’s singing
Woot! Go Coco!
Conan is funny and can play the guitar!!! What is Jay Leno’s talent/s supposed to be again???
What “is” they? lol
Anyway…Conan is hilarious and bright, but he’s hardly a musician.
If Conan does this on TBS he’ll be funny to watch. NBC was too conservative for him.
Love that meowing part, hysterical.
