Who did “Half the Man I used to Be” first; Nirvana or Stone Temple Pilots?

THere is actually only one song: STP has "creep" with those lyrics.

"Creep" is the seventh track off the album Core, the debut album by the band Stone Temple Pilots. Performed at a lumberingly slow tempo, the song features the chorus, "I'm half the man I used to be." It was the third and final single off of the album. This song was particularly noted for its striking resemblance to the grunge scene of the day, and the band was scathed for jumping on the bandwagon by most music critics when the single first came out in 1993. < It is often mistaken as a song by grunge icons Nirvana.>

Mislabels

Due to the pre-mentioned similarities to the Seattle sound, this song has been notorious for it's mislabeling on many P2P programs, and on the internet as well. The main issue derives from the main chorus of "I'm half the man I used to be", and many mislabel this as the title of the song. It has been attributed to the popular grunge band Nirvana [1], and Pearl Jam (who actually once covered the song in concert). Some of the more popular mislabels are as follows;

Stone Temple Pilots- half the man I used to be

Stone Temple Pilots- half the man

Stone Temple Pilots- Bobby's Got a Gun

Nirvana- half the man I used to be

Nirvana- Creep

Nirvana- Half and Half

Pearl Jam- Creep

Creep- Stone Temple Pilots

Nirvana never did it STP all the way although when I first heard I thought it was nirvana now I kick myself in the head for that thought

STP did that song. I wasnt even aware of Nirvana covering that song. You may be thinking of "the man who sold the world." Nirvana covered that song but david bowie did it first
