Have you ever noticed that the chords used in Creep by Radiohead are strikingly similar to the chords in The Air That I breathe by The Hollies? When Steve Groves of the Moon Loungers noticed this, he set about fusing the two songs together, with the above video being the final result.
Radiohead actually pay royalties to The Hollies for their use of this classic chord sequence, but if you did have any further doubts this music video should lay them to rest.

MoonLoungers Bristol damn, you guys are fucking awesome! 🥺
Stumbled on this, you guys are great♥️
Just stunning...moved me to tears ....keep doing what you're doing 💙
This is one of the best things I have ever listened to, awesome work
Nice. Great Music.
Loved the air that I breathe 40 plus years ago as a kid and as soon as I heard creep I made the connection, so this is bliss. I could happily play it in loop all day
1985 to 2000 every day this song! sunshine and this music!
The single greatest mashup of all time.
He didn't even swear.
Here, let me fill in that one part for you:
"Sheeeeeeeeeeeeee's running out ah-gehhhh^hennnn. Sheee's running out. She run, run, run, ruh-huhnnnnnnnn. RUNNNNNNNNNNNNnnnnnnnnnn........."
She ruuuuuuuuuuinnnhhhhh!
Frank Drebbin great job!
Yeah the problem is that that part of Creep uses very similar notes and vocal phrasing as the verses to The Air That I Breathe so it would have been kind of hard to make that work somehow. Plus i'm surprised they didn't throw in a nod to Carry that weight since in The Air That I Breathe from 2:30 on sounds really really really similar to it(like treading on thin ice similar)
Two of my favorite songs combined into a piece of musical art.... Genius
Creep is a copy of the air that I breath
@Luis Bravo Who actually asked, I don’t recall.
Grew up on the air that i breathe... First time I heard Creep I could hear it
@@luisbravo9131 Different words and melody. So not quire the same.
"Creep" is beautiful, sad song but "All I need is the air " is a genius masterpiece. Chord progression is similar.
Creep is a copy. They cleared this out in Court.
Ya think???
@@ballsontoast Different words and melody. So not quite the same.
@@bazahaza Same melody. Which is how Radiohead lost that suit
@@stardustorchard9316 same melody ? they are obviously different ; people mistake chord progression with melody
this version of both songs fills me with unbridled happiness and peace.
The two sides of my brain in a relationship
one swearing ~ one praying ... same same !
Compliment each other perfectly
@Lady Hitchhiker you have NO idea how deep your comment touched me...
Made sense of what was happening in my very soul...
Thank you from the Fiber of My Fabric...
Best comment EVER!!!
This is brilliant! I’m glad someone did this, it needed to be done. The sharing of the percussion all with foot pedals is great too. Nice break from seeing looping pedals everywhere now.
That's so awesome , it's like Creep picked up the down beat of The Air That I Breathe ...
Beautiful Demonstration to the players ! ... bravo Moon Loungers
Can’t believe I am just hearing this in 2022. Brilliant!
I was sitting in a dinner and air that breath came on and it struck me like lightning that these two songs belong together. Wow. Great work! Better than I could have possibly imagined!
There’s a reason why The Hollies sued Radiohead and won.
uk guardian says only 4 pop songs have this chord progression
@@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885 Which other 2?
@@walkinharmonyhomestead2888 well the lady who got sued by radiohead is the third. Not sure who the fourth is. Maybe the original composer did their own version. the person who wrote it - was John Hammond I think.
@@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885 I just found a video where the guy found more, but even he said he had to “go to the bottom of the barrel” to find some of them. Some have the same chord progression, but the time spent on each chord is different, giving the song a much different sound (I’m sure this happens a lot).
TY
I legit listen to this mashup all the time. Sooooo good.
I didn't expect to be so pleasantly surprised when I clicked in. This is one of the most amazing covers I've heard. Creating something this beautiful earns you some recognition and respect. I could go on and on, but I think you know it ROCKS.
I felt the same way! I was expecting the 2 songs played together to prove how it was the same song, but this was really awesome :D
This was immensely satisfying and a high quality performance
This is so good. The themes couldn't be more different, and that where the interest lies for me. One is supremely satisified in love and the other is lost, awkward and broken. So good.
You're could make an argument that Air that I breathe comes across as "creepy", well... at least I the modern female's mind.
You ALL have NO idea how much this day NEEDED this...

I’m not so much interested in the Radiohead/Hollies issue, as it was resolved rather openly and amicably (Radiohead said they grabbed the opening melody after someone said the lyrics were similar, and the Hollies appreciated them not screwing around over it, and they settled).
But the medley of these two songs is such a great piece and I just wanted to say how much I appreciate hearing this and what you put into arranging and performing it.
My grandma was such a huge part of my life, and one of her obsessions was the Everly Brothers, and I listened to their cover of this song more times than I can count growing up. Grandma was also my biggest fan and most ardent supporter growing up in the 80s and 90s, even gave me a place to stay and never minded and defended my character through all my goth and punk years. And she would let me play music for her if I found something she might like, and told me to turn it up loud, like Radiohead, and Collective Soul, and Nirvana, and Tori Amos, back when others in my family treated me like a freak, and she would listen and find the enjoyment and the understanding of what the artist most have been experiencing, whether or not she personally related. But she related to more than I knew at the time.
The EB recordings didn’t quite catch the minor notes of the Hollies’ gorgeous opening chords, so it was years before I put together the similarities between the two songs. Hearing this tonight made me literally sob like baby, as Grandma passed barely over a year ago, and with the pandemic it’s been hard to process it, but this just hit so unexpectedly hard as the perfect medley of who my grandma was and who I am, and what she meant to me when I needed someone the most. I wish she could have heard this, she would have loved it. Thanks for making it.
For me, it’s not about proving who wrote what, but it’s the bridge between the two that means more to me than you’ll ever know, and more than any chord progression can articulate. It’s a beautiful piece and you served both recordings well.
Thank you for sharing ❤️ your grandma sounds like a lovely woman
Wonderful grandma, very sweet story.
How lovely..... you have a ❤ and a 👍 and a 🙂 from me, David in the UK
i don’t always see youtube reply notifs, but i saw this latest one. grandma’s birthday was yesterday and seeing these comments today warms my heart! thanks, fellow humans! ♥️
@@davids736 ♥️
Good god what a brilliant mash up. Thanks lads.
Have always thought it’s uncanny how much Creep resembles The Air That I Breathe. This cements it. Oddly beautiful together though. Well done.
This is the perfect song for two generations to sing. Beautiful. Smart. Touching. Memorable.
So beautiful.
I have no clue how I got here but you guys are amazing. Levels are amazing, Amazing version of the song. Kudos.
"The Air That I breathe" -when he has a girl
"Creep" -when he doesn't
Irrra 26 of all the times lol has been used on the Internet, this is the least appropriate ever
Mass Confusion lol
This is such a beautiful mashup of the two songs and yet the difference in lyrical tone gives it a really interesting overtone that's disturbing.
2degucitas haha I almost wrote the same damn thing🤣🤣🤣
*Plot twist*
The person singing creep is the third wheel in the triangle
There are a finite number of note and word combinations in the world. With every new song that emerges the finite universe of possible songs shrinks and the anxiety of influence expands. We're doomed to plagiarism but blessed by inspiration.
note and word combinations may be finite - but time combinations are infinite
- and so , by that , is music
I’ve often thought of that. It’s deep.
@@kevinolesik1500 not as infinite,
Imagination is infinite.
This is why the Hollies won a legal settlement with Radiohead. Radiohead admitted that Air That I Breathe was unintentionally the an inspiration for Creep. They settled for a portion of the royalties and were also awarded given writing credits on Creep for Hammond and Hazlewood. Anyone who grew up in the 60s - 70s knew Air That I Breathe well because it got major radio airplay in the early 70s.
That why so many people made the connection immediately when hearing Creep for the first time. You’d have to be a zombie not to catch the similarity. I always knew that the two could be seamlessly put together, but this is the first time I have heard anyone actually record a mashup. They did an excellent job bringing these two classic songs together. Great job guys!
Now I don’t have to do it. I had often thought about doing a medley of these two songs, which is why I was searching for such a thing when I came across this. If no one else had done it, I was going to do it. I’m glad you guys did this because I seriously doubt my version could have been nearly as good as this is.
Has to be said that Lana Del Ray’s Get Free sounds more like Creep than Creep sounds like Air That I Breathe. Really just lifted the entire melody without trying at all to do something else with it before passing it off as original.
I am really glad this mashup exists though, it satisfies something deep within me lol
@@SobrietyandSolace100% agree.
It's a chord progression. No one should have ownership over that
@@benburndred2226 I agree. There are many songs that use the same chord progressions. How a court decides when they are IP and when they’re just progressions that have been used for thousands of years is kind of ridiculous.
Shit I never realised I’m a zombie but I must be because I never recognise these two as being similar until now despite liking both and playing both thousands of times LOL
Now this is absolutely a incredible cover of one of the most beautiful songs ever... wow .. this is a beautiful cover
Two*
Brilliant, gentlemen! Absolutely brilliant! How has this been around for 9 years and I’m just now hearing it? I’m 63 yrs old and this blew me away!
3 minutes ago I was watching a movie and heard “all I need…” in the scene. I listened closer and thought “…is that creep?…” so i looked if anyone had made this comparison and found this. Very cool.
The Hollies sues them over Creep and get royalties from the song. So yea the connection was made long ago.
Those songs will always be part of my heart. Any time I hear them, my heart shrinks. Both singers make me feel every word they wrote like no others do, both with regard to "The air that I breathe" and to "Creep". Hats off for both of them
What a fantastic mash-up, best I've ever heard!
best mashup evah
I love both songs to be honest, clarkes voice is amazing and the Hollies harmonies were as good as it gets, Creep introduced a lot of people to Radiohead and is also very important. Please don’t forget the original was written and recorded by Albert Hammond
Thats UNREAL ! Beautifully Done Gents Cheers !!!!
Holy shite...talk about a merger.
Blend of all blends .
This really was top-notch loveliness to listen to.
I searched the comparison and came across this as was convinced of their similarity. This is beautiful thank you.
Great version of the fusion of the two songs. Excellent performance. Thanks for sharing.
So funny…I just stumbled on this. But I had recently looked up to tabs for Creep…a week ago or so…then yesterday had looked up The Air That I Breathe. I must have subconsciously realized they were similar! This is a great mashup!
I stumbled on this while I was looking for something else, and I'm glad I clicked on it! What a great mash-up of these two classics with such similar chord progressions! I love it! Excellent . And great singing and playing also; thanks for doing this and posting it. What a gem.
When I go out to listen to acoustic live music, this is what I want to hear. Excellent musicianship, perfect harmonies, great songs, and DIFFERENT! Nice mix of two great songs and musically excellently executed. Chills.
I was just listening to "Creep" earlier today and thought "Hang on" That's the same song as The Air That I Breathe!" So I googled it and got sent here :)
same! I did the same last night when my friend was playing the air that I breathe
@@TKthings ...so did Radiohead when they were writing it, according to them ...one of them said ‘ you know that’s the Hollie’s song Air that I Breathe, that chord sequence...’. They just didn’t tell the publishers, maybe they thought no one would notice
They are so similar that The Hollies' record label sued Radiohead, they came to a settlement where The Hollies received songwriting credits for "Creep" and future royalties.
txs for steeling this part! i can cry! this damned singer, its great! damned! stunner! super!
Nice mix to two awesome songs.
No one believes me when I say they are the same song. Thanks for proving it. Great Work.
It was written by Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood, and first recorded by Albert Hammond on his 1972 album "It Never Rains in Southern California".then the song was first covered by Phil Everly of the Everly Brothers for his 1973 album Star Spangled Springer, then it was covered by the Hollies, who all made a huge success out of the song, then came truckload of covers over the years. The Bee Gees did very nicley as to getting it air play and making money out of it, Olivia Newton John did it, Judy Collins did it, Julio Iglesias with background vocals by the Beach Boys, Marty Robbins and even Hank Williams Jr. all covered it and still a truckload left to mention....but after Radiohead came out with their song 'Creep" in 1992, the Hollies sued Radiohead for plagiarism and won
not the same but inspired and partially stolen from...
Didn’t the hollies sue Radiohead because it was similar?
They did.
Yes mate they did
I love this. Bad ass rendition
very talented bunch of lads great version of two songs
Hauntingly beautiful!!!!
Super job shifting gears. Seamless enough my brain had a hard time keeping up.
Wow! What a unique blending of two of my favorite songs. Bravo to you Moon Loungers Acoustic !
The Hollies sued Radiohead for plagiarism and won the suit. But, the Hollies didn't write it, it was originally done by Albert Hammond ... which is just the best, imho, although the Hollies and the Bee Gees both made a huge hit out of it backindaday... but, if you search the title "The Air That I Breathe" you'll find that just about every singer with a record contract cut a cover of it... including some very unlikely's such as Marty Robbins, Hank Williams jr. ...etc.
Kudos to these three dudes for putting it all together so nicely.
The Hollies didn't sue ... Albert Hammond did, and Radiohead quickly settled giving him and his cowriter a sizable share of the publishing. This might be why Thom doesn't like to do Creep live very often.
Nice homeworkin' skills .
And now Lana del Rey joins the mix
Vajra Pani omfg the plot thickens even further
Vajra Pani and now radiohead is suing lana del rey for "get free"
I keep coming back to this, again and again.
I still love this so much! Great job guys.
Soooo sharing this..it needs to make the rounds and be noticed !!!!
You guys are absolutely fabulous! I think I watched this 3 or 4 times! You guys are on point in timing and harmony! You mastered combining two of my favorite songs. Thank you! It's a beautiful flow.
When the fist time i play the air that i breathe i saw similar chords, time and melody but i never though you guys will make this vey very nice cover!
CONGRATULATIONS
Mario Santiago Guevara Gil They're not doing a mash up, it's to prove how similar these two songs are, because Radiohead were sued by the hollies for plagiarism.
Mario Santiago Guevara Gil
@@justfine8647 I don't think they are out to prove anything but to make a beautiful artístic statenent
Such a perfect melding of those two songs, Good On You , gentlemen for making the two ONE.
I can't believe I've only just come across this!!! So beautiful, and so technically difficult... amazing performance x
Yes two great songs. Absolutely amazed, so much that I return to give it a listen
OMG.... The best version in the world .....Good job
This is nothing short of magical genius. You melded together the chords and sounds that I knew had similarities.
Magnificent versión, 2 beautiful songs, and though one was inspires un the other
Thank you for producing these two songs. They're both amazing
I have noticed the similarities and hoped somebody with talent would do something about it. Thanks guyS!! This is amazing ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💕💕💕💕👌🏼👍
What a wonderful!
70's & 90"s beautiful songs, great job!
If anything, this just demonstrates the difference between the two songs: Creep uses only G, B, C and C minor and just goes round a bar of each for the whole song. Air That I Breathe puts both C and C minor into one bar and goes back to the G for an additional bar. Quite different. Also it contains other sections whereas Creep is just those four chords. Personally I think they're far enough apart structurally that the lawsuit was bullshit.
Agreed
Que fabulosa mezcla!!! . Conclusión, ni una ni otra, ambas son geniales.
Wow this was an orgasm for my ears!!! Amazing mash up guys!! Hats off to you guys, you all play so well you can sense the chemistry just blends so well👏👏👏
This needs to be released. It's fantastic.
There's a link to the track in the video description - it's on iTunes and Spotify...
Nailed it! Well done gents.
Just amazing
Love both these songs but never noticed how similar they are. This mash up however is simply brilliant. I've been listening to a lot of their stuff since finding this and I like them a lot.
'Plagiarism' is the right term.
Plagiarism is when you try to pass someone else's work off as your own, and they clearly aren't doing that.
You're wrong.
They're not doing a mash up, it's to prove how similar these two songs are, because Radiohead got sued by the hollies for plagiarism
There's such a thing as UNINTENTIONAL plagiarism, where you're not consciously thinking about the song that you're lifting up from. Similarly, I've noticed a similarity between Loggins and Messina's Danny's Song and Jewel's You Were Meant for Me. You could easily mash "dreams last, for so long, even after we're gone" with "even though, we ain't got money, I'm so in love with you honey."
Wow!!! Well done!!! Super impressed!!!
Great mash-up of my two fave songs. Awesome finding this. Done sharing. Thanks!
Came here looking to hear the differences between the two songs, and ended up hearing a beautiful cover!

I don't have enough of a music-theory instinct or education to know why this works, so the magic may be in the formula. I know when something works, and this works! I'm playing it, and my wife is climbing in my lap like a cat. That's a litmus test; this song will get you laid!
When Creep first came out, I would always launch into the Hollies as I sang along... and then when I found this mashup cover of yours a few years ago, I was so content that someone had done it. It's so great.
Boy do I love it when a song surprises me!! What a great work guys!
Not sure how this video has less than a million views. I feel like I’ve watched it that many times myself and I’m just one guy.
Two great songs going toe to toe..very cool!
Work of ART ..ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT
Now we need one that compares these two with Lana Del Ray :D
Great job, the composition is beautiful and informative!
You really make gold out of any song you cover! Thank you for this beautiful moment...
The drummer rhythm guitarist backing singer is mentally doing his shopping list.
He's out to lunch? lol
You'd think they could find something for him to do.
4:36 pause. 'oh shit i need milk'
As a mobile DJ, I saw the similarities between these two songs many years ago, and have been playing a live, mind-blowing mash-up for unsuspecting music fans at my gigs.
Kudos to The Moon Loungers on an excellent job!
Totally brilliant guys.. Heads up high..
What a great mash up!!!
Thanks so much for this video. My ears couldn’t hear it at all until I heard this!
Magnificent!! Love this mash up and had never realized the connection until today and when I googled the underlying similarities and parallels, this came up
Wow. This is fantastic. You blended this up perfectly.
That was so fantastical!! Needed that in my life! Thank you!💚
Wow amazing. Heard the Hollies track come up on Tidal, and googled this, and you came up first. This is so good, good job chaps.
Actually "the air that.." is written bij Albert Hammond he get a third of the "Creep-credits". The Hollies covered the version one of the Everlys covered. The original is by Hammond though
Hammond made the song for The Hollies, he sold it to them
Now what about Lana Del Rey and Get Free?
You are correct, this is an Albert Hammond song, in my humble opinion is the best, although I like the Hollies versions too.
Nothing worse than other musicians taking credit for others ability and hard work.
AMAZING JOB. SOUNDS GREAT.
I heard about the Hollies suing Radiohead too and i couldn't see how until i heard this and now its very obvious! Great cover of both songs :-D
Absolutely Brilliant!!
Just beautiful. Thank you.
Lo mejor ke e escuchado en mi vida
That was absolutely amazing. I want to find these guys so I can shake their hands properly.
Brilliant, fantastic, just plain amazing.
