Oddly enough, out of two of his best-known mainstream hits (that'd be "Come to Daddy" and "Windowlicker"), one has experienced [[Creator Backlash]] and the other is a [[Black Sheep Hit]]. |

** A more jarring version appears on "Funny Little Man." The song proper isn't all that bad, assuming you don't mind that a pitched-up, autotuned James sounds exactly like [[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy|Rolf]] on acid, but what follows is a Plaintalk program threatening to {{spoiler|sodomize, castrate, and chew on the penis of the listener}}. |

** When a representative for the band [[The Lemonheads]] came to his house one morning asking for the remix he was commissioned to do, he went to his studio, ripped a random song which was irrelevant to the song he was requested to do, and gave it to him for in exchange for thousands of dollars. Supposedly, this was due to Aphex completely forgetting about the remix he was commissioned to do, but apparently, he didn't demand money. |

** Oddly enough, when there was a snafu regarding [[The Lonely Island]] sampling Avril 14th for "Iran (So Far Away)", Aphex Twin didn't mind and was "cool" about the whole thing. His label, however, wasn't. |
