Radiohead – The Climb (Miley Cyrus Cover)

Click on the turntable on the left to listen to a continuous stream of music featured on Pretty Much Amazing - updated every day. For more, you can check out the Best Songs of 2012.

Last month, claimed dissed her at the GRAMMY awards, so she has vowed to ruin “rude, stinky… rock god” . You can read more about it and even watch a video over at Stereogum. It looks like Radiohead have finally responded to Cyrus’ threat by covering her very own Taylor Swift-jockin’ song, and the lead single from the Hannah Montanna Movie Soundtrack, “The Climb.”

Who knew Thom Yorke has such a great sense of humor? But I really do love what they did to the song. I’m still in complete shock and at a complete loss for words… just listen.

Wow, that’s gold. I can really appreciate this kind of humor, never expected it from Radiohead but it appears they don’t just make beautiful music.

So there is no real cover? That would have rocked. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Nick and Norah, but I’d love to hear the actual cover more.

Reply

Luis Tovar April 2, 2009 at 2:53 pm

Nope. There’s no cover. This was an April Fool’s joke I came up with at about 11:30pm on March 31st.
