Robin Thicke "Blurred Lines" (1 Viewer)

[Two Deep]

I'm still trying to figure out what rhymes with hug me

This song f**king bugs me.

 

[Thorn]

hey hey hey

Brilliant track that is definitely the song of the summer and maybe year. Tough to find quality music at the top of the charts but this is a perfect example of Pharrell genius sampling a classic Marvin Gaye track and giving it a new flavor with Thicke's vocals.

And if you plan to watch the unedited version of the video, please save the interruption and take your pants off before viewing.

I only listen to live pan-flute music performed by Peruvian virgin nuns. You commoners and your radio- Pffft!

Hey, some folks like anchovies on pizza. There's something out there for everyone I guess. Rock on.

My favorite pop song of the summer is Matt Hires' "Restless Heart". At least there's some music being played there.

My favorite pop song of the summer is The Trooper by Iron Maiden.

If only it could be genius-ly remixed or sampled by some DJ. Preferably one in a mask....

Yep and many here are stuck in a time machine taking them back to 1982. Nothing is wrong with that but music and musicians evolve and so should you. Quality music is quality regardless of time or place.

I think most people in here agree on that point. The question is what that statement has to do with this song.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Ironic that you consider this an evolution in music considering it samples a song from 1977.

Both are Top 5 currently. They have that magic formula of making hits without selling out. Not easy.

That analogy is so bad it sounds like a Robin Thicke song.

 

[bushdocda]

I like the song when the girl in the no top dances to it. Otherwise it's just noise.

 

[avoiding injuries]

I heard Thicke say it took him 15 minutes to write this song.

Not bad.

Yep, took Wu-Tang and NWA less than 2 weeks to finish their first two classic LPs.

If they were as good as Thicke, they could have done it in 4 hours.

They're successful but the music blows.

I'm completely unconcerned with you thinking that about me, because you clearly know little to nothing about at least one of those topics.

Your statement comes via the filter of your own individual tastes and it is simply false to say that everyone should appreciate the same music as being "quality" that you do.

Music means different things to different people. For me, part of it is nostalgia, sure. I like listening to the metal from my teens but also like more current stuff like Black Keys, Alabama Shakes, Imagine Dragons, Muse, Cage the Elephant, etc. My favorite band is Pearl Jam who many people say peaked in the '90s but are still putting out great music to this day. Then I'm into classic rock from the 70s too. Notice that my taste is entirely in the rock genre. To you, stuff like Kanye and this dude is "genius", but I'll never like it. That doesn't make your taste "evolved" and mine stuck in a time machine. People like what they like and it's ignorant to say they should share your tastes.

So very different than Led Zeppelin lifting entire songs from old blues standards and banging out the entire Led Zeppelin II album on a few breaks between tour breaks.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Also, Monet sampled bridges

It's from whom Led Zeppelin stole the line "where's that confounded bridge?"

 

[Northern Voice]

Most people arguing about this song have spent more time on it/taken it more seriously than Thicke/Pharrell. I like the song but part of the appeal to me is they aren't taking anything too serious (the video, "what rhymes with hug me"). It's a fun, catchy summer song. It sounds great drunk on a dance floor, it's great entertainment, nothing else.

I think we could avoid a lot of arguments if stuff like this was called something other than "music".

It's not worth arguing over, that was my point.

If you can't hear, what I'm tryna say

If you can't read, from the same page

Maybe I'm going deaf

Maybe I'm going blind

Maybe I'm out of my mind

This statement is particularly rich considering your lament earlier in the thread that it's "ignorant" to say that people should share their tastes.
