When presented the opportunity you chose to take a dig at Daft Punk, but not the fauxhawk? Some things I will never understand...


I was going to have a go at that as well, (mainly the word, seriously, who says fauk-hawke?) but I thought that'd be laying it on a bit thick.

The whole 'wacky french house' thing has been done better.

I like both of those songs, but they came out 15 years after daft punk and I am sure count them as a major influence.


> who says fauk-hawke

It rhymes with "Mohawk". "Faux" is the French word for fake, pronounced like "fow". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faux

Except using a French word in the context is pretentious and phoney. Maybe there's a word for that...


I know what it means; it's a hairstyle for people who can cope with the clippers but can't handle the woodglue anymore.

It was more the ugly portmanteau (phoney!) itself which I objected to.

EDIT: although I see now that I did manage to misspell it. How embarrassing.
