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.
