[Incandenza]

Can I watch this at work? I actually like this song.

 

[Sesquipedaliantique]

Not safe for work at all. That's the beauty of it.

 

[Incandenza]

Cool, I'ma jerk off to it in the restroom.

That video made my penis #thicke. 8)

I'm now following Emily Ratajkowski on Twitter.

 

[Sesquipedaliantique]

She doesn't have anything interesting to say.

 

[BUTT]

Well duh, she's female. #mensrights

 

[Agent of Oblivion]

Alfie are you following me on twitter? You should be

1) missed opportunity: not putting an e at the end of "dick"
2) Underrated amidst all the dance-boobs: Pharrell's Cosby-moves

I love this song.

So I finally heard this song:

- It sucks
- Why am I the only one that realized it was a blatant rip-off of Marvin Gaye’s “Got to give it up”? Similar tempo and changes in rhythm from verse to chorus, very similar bass line and distant ‘cowbell’ sounding beat pops up in the background, etc. We have a bunch of smart audiophiles here, how come nobody else picked up on th--

*realizes Marvin Gaye is black and not a rapper*

Oh wait, that makes sense then.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

Wait, just checked the wiki:

"Blurred Lines" was produced by Thicke and Williams with an intention of creating a sound similar to Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give It Up". The song was completed in almost an hour

Haha did I say blatant? I meant BLATANT

 

[Brooklyn Zoo]

So I finally heard this song:

srsly?

 

[Mickey Massuco]

I heard it for the first time last week but didn’t know it was Blurred Lines. When I heard it I immediately was like “wtf is this Marvin Gaye ripoff”. I didn’t realize it was Blurred Lines till today.

I’m good at avoiding this cookie-cutter crap in general. I can’t believe how many of the elite TRTSM music listeners like this shit, y’all are slippin’.

You and everybody I know over the age of 30 (except Inc, apparently)

Robin Thicke is a confirmed non rapist, you'll all be relieved to hear.

 

[Incandenza]

Alan Thicke, however....

 

[CanadianGuitarist]

Alan Thicke, however....

But he's the greatest Canadian actor, so....I'm not saying he should make a habit of it, but I'll look the other way once or twice.

 

[Smues]

This song plays a hundred times a day on the radio at work. I was 100% sure one of the lines mentioned Shane Battier, but a google check of the lyrics reveals that to not even be close to right. The song was cooler when I thought they said Shane Battier.

 

[KOAB]

well thanks for killing the song for me.

i fuckin KNEW it

 

[Incandenza]

Yeah dude, you were the first one to figure it out.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

haha yeah, that's what I was saying bro. It's not like the post after the one I quoted showed that I saw it was in Wiki long before I heard the song :

Anyway, I'm glad these guys had to pay up. The Marvin Gaye Estate deserves that money.

 

[Incandenza]

- Why am I the only one that realized it was a blatant rip-off of Marvin Gaye’s “Got to give it up”?

This is your "Theory of Relativity" moment.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

I was speaking to posters on the board with that line because it didn't seem like anyone here caught it, read the original post. In the next post, it was made clear that I saw it in Wiki and realized it was a well-known thing before I had even heard the song.

I don't know how much clearer I can make all that, it feels like I'm talking to Jingus.
