& to love the song but think he is a sexist fucking toss pot judging by his X-rated video for it?

Just read lyrics.

Did they write that by slamming their head repeatedly on a keyboard?

5madthings · 09/06/2013 23:34

No idea sp but this vile and depressing :(

BanishedToPadua · 09/06/2013 23:34

The song is really catchy but the sexism is just abhorrent. The line, 'I know you want it' just really grates on me. I haven't seen the video but I did see them perform on Graham Norton and I thought Robin Thicke looked very sleazy and the backing 'dancers' just offensive.

BanishedToPadua · 09/06/2013 23:37

Some of the lyrics:

Yeah, had a bitch, but she ain't bad as you
So hit me up when you passing through
I'll give you something big enough to tear your ass in two

BarredfromhavingStella · 09/06/2013 23:37

Exactly what I'm getting at, though I do admit to lol at 'what rhymes with hug me' Blush

Timberlake reminds me of dribble and that whingey, whiney voice. Bluergh.

I'm truly, honestly baffled by him and Thicke's level of success, sex symbol status and the gorgeousness of their wives. Just goes to show if you love yourself enough others will too.

SPsCliffingAllOverMN · 09/06/2013 23:38

What happened to the likes of Backstreet Boys and 5ive?

I'm currently listening to BB ams must say they are better looking then The Thicke

I heard Robin Thicke on the radio today; he said he had little to do with the idea for the video, other than he was amused by Benny Hill and wanted it to be shot along those lines. Then he said his producer or director (female I think?) came up with the idea of the naked women, but he felt he was a 'gentleman' so two different videos were shot,one naked and one fully-clothed. In the end he found the naked version the 'funniest' so went with that. Lame if you ask me, but I love the song (much to DP's disgust Grin) and Pharrell is going to marry me one day, so I'm letting this one go...

Disclaimer The radio interview was listened to in the car as he DCs were annoying/tormenting each other in the back and creating Merry Hell, so that's only the gist of what I think Robin Thicke said.

The song is shite Hmm The video is shite. Shitey shite.

The only redeeming quality was the amount of youtube comments saying it was sexist, misogynistic and "It's a song about rape, people! There are no blurred lines in sex, no means NO!" It was like seeing a tiny offshoot of mn on youtube. Smile

'I'll give you something big enough to tear your ass in two'

Lovely.

BarredfromhavingStella · 09/06/2013 23:47

Oh jeez, no. What a sleazeball. Does not rock my boat in the slightest. An having read some of his lyrics, what a nasty little tosspot.

Now JT I do get, he is defo improving with age.

FlyingFig · 09/06/2013 23:48

OK now I see that 'blurred lines' is suggestive of rape and I'm put right off. Urgh.

However it took me eons to realise that Grandmaster Flash's 'White Lines' was about cocaine Grin

SPsCliffingAllOverMN · 09/06/2013 23:54

Right I'm watching the video. The standard one on TV.

His voice is shit.

He is creepy. Hes like a strange George Micheal.

T.I on the other hand is lovely looking.

NishiNoUsagi · 09/06/2013 23:56

The brunette lady does do some fantastic drunk-dad-at-a-wedding dancing though, so there's that..

SPsCliffingAllOverMN · 09/06/2013 23:56

The nest thing about that song is....

When it ends.

SPsCliffingAllOverMN · 09/06/2013 23:57

Nishi I thought that but didn't want to say how shit the dancing was Grin

NishiNoUsagi · 09/06/2013 23:59

It's not enough that it ends, SPs

It leaves an aftertaste..foot sweat, cheap aftershave and despair.

SPsCliffingAllOverMN · 10/06/2013 00:02

How is it number 1?

Its shite. its not catchy at all.

FlyingFig · 10/06/2013 00:04

Bit like that Eric Prydz video, Call On Me...all I could think of was thrush, chaffing and possible skid marks when I saw that.

FlyingFig · 10/06/2013 00:05

Video?! Showing my age now.

SPsCliffingAllOverMN · 10/06/2013 00:05

It looked painful didn't it flying

SPsCliffingAllOverMN · 10/06/2013 00:06

Dont say that pig I said video too! Isn't that what it is?

xylem8 · 10/06/2013 00:10

How ironic! Moaning about lyrics of a song which objectify women on a thread discussing whether some man is fit or not!!
