HAHA!!! that's funny!

hmm... that's odd considering this is actually the same board from the afx.nu site before phobia turned it into xlt.com, imagine that.

i could have sworn it was from the simpsons. there was an episode where barney was licking windows, its either an influence or a coincidence. perhaps richard had several reasons for naming the track windowlicker?

ok i guess i'm gonna have to respond to these one at a time, first off I'm not "up in arms about it" just passing on info that some of you may not know, the French explanation may be more apt but it's still incorrect.
You don't think Windowlicker is taking the piss out of retarded people? I'd have to disagree , although only RDJ would know for sure of course.
And what the hell has Frank Zappa got to do with it?, you saying theres some kind of intellectual reason for him doing this like some kind of ironic Ian Dury type stance, doubt it somehow.
basically I think he was being an immature dick, making a piss take track like the sort of thing a five year old with a dicophone would do and hiding it behind his (admititidly fantastic) programing skills

"fucking with me" by naming his track after a slang term for retarded people then providing the appropiate noises?
so that means I could play it to my neighbour (who has cerebral palsy) and he would find it hysterical eh?

Some autistic people have brains that IMO seem much more developed than any "normal" person, this could indicate that as our brains evolve we could all start to slowly become what is now percieved as "retarded".

its a blatent play on the slang term - how could one not instantly think so. no doubt rdj would say its meaningless, thus making us guilty instead. at the end of the day he's sick in the head; look at friggin rubber johnny - there you have it.

"the British guys on this board will probably have got what
Windowlicker is actually all about" - well if you heard it on the radio for the first time would you think, haha this is taking the piss out of retards? I think not. If it was called .340287402347 you wouldn't think it either?
Its a cracking song, who cares what its called. So what if afx is purile and childish, he makes good music. If its so childish to you, don't listen to it, don't make a "I'm smarter than you" thread cos you know something, which a lot of people from the .nu days all know anyway.
Why not enlighten us of something more interesting with a positive spin instead, like analord 4 was recorded with a kazoo and reverb and not a 303
(N.B. made up fact)

One, I don't listen to the radio, so no I wouldn't have thought that,
Two, yes it's so bloody obvious what the track is about I don't see how anyone could fail to get it on a first listen if they knew about the slang term, and the fact is it's not called .340287402347, it's called Windowlicker so that argument is redundant
Three, it's debatable wether or not RDJ does make good music these days anyway and I don't listen to it that much, although I was probably into it before most of you had even heard of him.
Four, if you had bothered to actually read what I wrote you would know that it wasn't my attempt to make an "I am smarter than you thread" and I even acknowledged that the subject was probably common knowledege and had probably been discussed before but the fact is a lot of people still didn't know about it as the threads proved.
Five, I make plenty of posts with a "positive spin" but life isn't always big hearty slaps on the back, sometimes you need to be negative (and in this case truthful)
Six, music is a very personal thing to those that really love it, and some may well care wether RDJ is childish and immature, would you listen to him if I revealed he was a neo Nazi? despite his music?

Why keep this thread going with all these comments? I understand that you have some info that you wanted to share regardless of how many people have known it but continuously going through all this while stating opinions on the subject is both tiresome and pointless.
No offense intended but just wanted to share a different point of view

My blatant, unmasked insults are reserved for very special occasions and for very deserved people. You are absolute shit.
maybe the observation wasn’t a bad one, but your delivery was unnecessarily pompous and condescending, however childish, like a kid on a bus bragging to the windowlicker about his newly learned times tables. Leave and never come back. Offense intended.

Yeah, it's a non-issue, and yet you've got your panties in a bunch over it.
Like that stalker that was going after Paco Rabanne, pretending he was the devil or sommat.
Premise to this is that you're not retarded. I think it's part of the joke that everyone IS retarded; or at least is so sometime at the minimum, and conveying this via retarded people is a proper illustration.
Proper illustration of a joke inside an art piece, which is beyond absurd to argue over.
He likes to fuck with conventions, he's good at it, and said himself (IIRC) "I wouldn't be worthy of existence if I took the piss out of anything I did creatively."

err...how was it pompous and condescending? I just wanted to find out who knew and who didn't and what people thought of it, what's the point in a discussion forum if you can't start a discussion that goes beyond "what's you favourite analord?" or some other such banal shite.

I wouldn't say it's a non-issue, in fact it's a massive issue, laughing at retarded people is also IMO an acute form of facism, you can dress it up how you like but it seems to me that there a lot of people out there that just wanna ignore it cos they love RDJ far far too much

Fascism: A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.
Did you mean racism? Christ.
