Creep

While watching inception, i happened to watch the first theatrical trailer of "The Social Network" ,the movie about the story of Facebook.The thing that struck me about the trailer is that, the background song in it was a mashed up version of Radio-head's "Creep". A timeless, ageless masterpiece. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFkzRNyygfk

The mashed up version had these few lines reverberating over and over again in it.

I don't care if it hurts,
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice
when I'm not around
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here, ohhhh, ohhhh

Huh, so many researchers , mathematicians,computer scientists are trying to mathematically model the human behaviour in the virtual world and radio-head had all that figured out, since yore.

The vicarious me , the voyeuristic me, the meforming me,the informing me, the connected me, the " am so fuckin " special me, the facebook profile me.
Hats off, radiohead!!
