Yes, I am actually capable of thought... Now then, let's get on with it. With this... THOUGHT. How can people (I won't name names, because I don't remember who said it) call this an MTV calibre track? Jesus Fucking Christ, it sounds DEMENTED. And yet, I've heard people refer to it as APHEX POP?!?!? Craziest ''pop'' song I'VE ever hear, lemme tell ya. The first time I heard those insane female singers, I was freaked out, and the song itself is just... insane. Lots of freaky sounds and that HARDCORE ending. This is not accessible, I think... MTV pop my ass... it's MOCKING pop, yeah, but I think it's got just the right dose of madness in it. It's weird and creative, and those singers are just one of a kind. Simple beat for Aphex, yeah... but still effective. That wacky French girl in the middle during the break... that's not something you'd hear in pop... I think she sounds frighteningly displaced from the rest of the track. Freaks me out. So there. Bucko. |

And I prefer Jill Hennessy straddling me in bed, but you don't always get you want. |

yeah, it's making fun of mtv-friendly music, rap & r'n'b pimps... i think rdj also just wanted just to have fun, it's a funny, enjoyable song — perfect for summer btw :) |
||||||||
|

|

But the thing is, I always thought it was doing more than just ''taking the piss'' or being ''funny and enjoyable''... it scares the bejeezus out of me! Those voices! That ending! BLARGANFLARGAN! |

i agree its a total mockery, windowlicker come to daddy its all just mocklery ! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Did yall know that Aphex does all the singing on Windowlicker? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dunno why, but i imagined that it would be him singing it.... didnt know though. It this true? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I agree ophecks. And i don't think RDJ put that much thought in it like "now im gonna do a pop song" , i think he just let it come like "wow it really sounds cool when i arrange these voices like this!!!" or something.... And the mocking with RNB Hip Hop is just Cunninghams video , the song itself has nothing to do with RNB. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yeah. I agree. And the video is excellent... amusing/funny and still surreal/scary... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i thought everyone here knew that... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmmm. Still, its catchier than his other songs, and i DID actually see it on MTV once.... One of my favourite aphex twin tracks, i must admit, corny as it may be. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the voices in that song have always shat me to tears am i alone here? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it sounds like their is some type of manipulation of the voices.. like their pitch shifted to make him sound more womanly or something |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
urrrghh its Horrible! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i thought so.. :] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Just because a song is "over-played", "over-rated" or "popular" doesn't make it bad. I could care less who listens to it, what charts it's on, what genre of music it is, if it's good then I like it. |

Oh and I love Window Licker.. and the video is soo wonderful! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Among my top 5 Aphex tracks for sure. Love it. Sorry what was the thread about again? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
It was an attempt to get a number one hit on the british pop charts. I think it's a pleasant song to listen to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No worries, I also find Windowlicker to be slightly freaky... there is something inherantly wrong with those voices, which makes it great. Also, [equation] is marvellous. |
||||||||

I don't remember making this topic at all, but yeah, I agree with the 19 year old me from a year ago, Windowlicker is such an amazing track. It's got everything and the kitchen sink. It's not ''pop'' though... maybe Bizarro Pop. |

windowlicker is a sinewy fusion of male and female, and sex and death. the video perfectly manifests the transformation of sexual desire and obsession into the visceral disgust of rdj as kali, a living corpse. |
