About the term "windowlicker"--
Maybe it's not particularly relevant to why RDJ chose it as a track title, but the
colloquial French term for "window shopping", "lécher les vitrines" translates literally
into English as "to lick windows". And maybe I'm completely bonkers, but it sounds
like someone's saying something in French in windowlicker at about 2:45 on the US
CD single (or, the part in the video when they reach the beach palisade). It
sounds like "J'aime fabrique doucher" (I like to manufacture douche?)
Just thought I'd mention it.
