Guest AOOproductions Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I know I am like eight years too late with this topic and most people don't even want to talk about it any more because it's one his most commercialized projects . . . But I am just interested where you rate this, as purely a song, in his extensive back catalog. Is it better than most? Forgettable? Only good with the video? Or just put it on shuffle and see what happens kinda a deal. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/23525-windowlicker-where-do-you-rate-it/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest earlgrey Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 It's a good song. Surprising choice for a single though. Joe Public wouldn't have given a flying fuck at a rolling donut about it if it weren't for the video. (possibly ditto for CTD as well.)

Guest Romhotep Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I love the track, and think it was an excellent choice for a single. The vocal sampling he does in it, along with the melodies he employed, are "catchier" and "poppier" than he does most of the time, and honestly more likely to randomly get stuck into someone's head. Plus, the inherent familiarity the random person feels at the sound of a human voice makes anything more successful, so even the sampling of it chopped up and not full words being sampled is still more of an attention grabber to the general public, e.g. the success of popular music being rooted in songs (i.e. music with lyrical accompaniment) rather than instrumental pieces.
