Thom Yorke Wants Prince Cover Unblocked From YouTube

Thom Yorke wants Prince to unblock his cover of Radiohead's 'Creep', which was recently removed from YouTube, at request of the artist.


Prince gave his take on the popular single at this year's Coachella Festival in L.A. last month - a cover which Yorke described as "hilarious". Fans attending filmed the performance and then uploaded the footage to the YouTube.


However, Prince's label NPG have claimed the video-sharing site has violated copyright laws - which subsequently resulted in the footage being taken down.


Upon hearing the news, Radiohead frontman said: "Really? He's blocked it? Surely we should block it. Hang on a moment." Yorke said. "Well, tell him to unblock it. It's our... song."


Under current YouTube regulations, the website removes videos if it receives complaints say the Associated Press.
