"Kris Allen has revealed that he has been performing a Radiohead cover during concerts to increase his &amp;quot;street cred&amp;quot;.  The former American Idol winner told MTV News that he chose to include his own version of &amp;#039;Paranoid Android&amp;#039; while on tour as he has always been a big fan of the rock band.  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s our street cred song,&amp;quot; he said.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve always loved the song and I&amp;#039;ve always loved playing it, so we worked it out as a band because we thought it would be cool.&amp;quot;  He added that many of his fans were not familiar with the track and have had mixed reactions.  &amp;quot;Some people come up to me after the show, they didn&amp;#039;t even know the song, and they were like, &amp;#039;That was incredible!&amp;#039; My brother - he has no idea who Radiohead is - thought it was awesome,&amp;quot; he explained.  &amp;quot;We won&amp;#039;t play it every night. We&amp;#039;ll play it every once in a while,&amp;quot; the Arkansas native said. &amp;quot;I think we played it in Shreveport [Louisiana] and people were just like, &amp;#039;What is this? This guy&amp;#039;s creepy!&amp;#039; And then we move on to the next song.&amp;quot; Allen is on tour in the US through to September. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
