Aphex Twins: Window Licker

This music video is 10minutes long and has a story to it. The language includes alot of swearing. At the beginning of the video, the audience gets the idea that there are 2men in a flashy car looking for women to sleep with. This is usually typical is many hip hip videos where the idea of men being superior around women is common and they talk about sleeping with them. However Chris Cunningham twists the situation when a very long limo enters and there is a weird looking man inside. Special effects are used from this point as the women suddenly appear to have mens faces and are portrayed are ugly but have desirable bodies that men are interested in. This is mocking how women usually look. The colours in the video are very dull and natural. The overall video is very unrealistic and fantasy like.
