Just heard the song for the 1st time last week at a club in Mexico and have been enthralled since. I looked it up when I got back to the States ----- with my 5 year old. I am listening to the lyrics, watching the video and I am horrified that I have my son there. The song is awesome but the lyrics were a shocker. I hadn't heard of Robin Thick (but knew Alan had to be his dad). I loved Marvin Gaye's song (one of my all time favorites) and I analyzed them both. I am not seeing it. Blurred Lines is original, no doubt, and frickin' cool. Both songs evoke strong emotions; Gaye's is very sensual and Thick's is highly sexual. I am almost 50 and away from bars and radios (obviously) but this song made me feel like I am missing out. I love the contrived wholesomeness of the dancers and the overall coolness of every aspect of the song! The lyrics are just a sign of this generation and the music is extremely sexual - this being no exception.
