''Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys?'' was the second EP by Sheffield indie rock band Arctic Monkeys, first released on 24 April 2006 (see 2006 in British music). The EP featured "The View from the Afternoon", the opening track of their debut album ''Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not'', and four other songs. "The View from the Afternoon" was expected to have been the band's third single, following UK Number Ones "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" and "When the Sun Goes Down", but the band announced in March 2006 that its next record would be a 5-track EP, which thereby disqualified it from being listed in the UK singles and albums charts〔The Official UK Charts Company – (''Chart Rules (9th edition)'' – PDF )〕 because it was too long to be a single and too cheap to be an album. With "The View from the Afternoon" as the A-side, the remainder of the EP was made up of new material, although "Cigarette Smoker Fiona" was a re-work of "Cigarette Smoke" – one of the band's earlier songs that formed part of the "Beneath the Boardwalk" collection of demo CDs. "Despair in the Departure Lounge" was premiered at a gig in the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, although it was played by Alex Turner alone due to Andy Nicholson blowing his bass amp. Although the contentious language content of the EP resulted in less radio airplay than the band's earlier releases, the nature of their rise to fame and their lack of reliance on radio meant that this was not a concern for the band.
