I like the beat and the basswork, but it's let down by everything at the forefront of the song. If Robin Thicke ever lives down "What rhymes with hug me?" I'll be very surprised.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

No surprise the #1 song in the US is rapey and sexist.

Thicke is quite proud of that fact:

LOL, it's number 1/2 song in most of Europe too. But sure, fuck the US, it's so rapey.

 

[JeTmAn81]

I just listened to this. Not a great song, and I really hated the repeated "woo!" that sounded like it was sampled from Michael Jackson. What an annoying thing to include throughout your entire song.

 

[Pinko Marx]

Wow that guy's a nutcase, and he has fans too, it's just like Justin Bieber.

No its nothing like that.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Are her tits real? Often topless kind of ruins the fantasy but not this time; They're amazing.

also, what's with the trend of porny music videos lately? I mean, they've always existed, but there seems to be an upswing in them lately.

It's cool and edgy for Europeans to hate Americans for the things they are guilty of themselves. (Racism, Consumerism, Sexism)

Are you complaining, Mr. Nudemac?

I think the laugh when he sings it kinda pops fun at himself. Not every song has to be full of amazing lyrics, least of all something like this.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

So Robin Thicke has been at this for what? Like 10 years. Talented guy but could never really cross over into huge mainstream success, until Blurred Lines. Now he has the "song of the summer", a massive hit that might have out-JT'd Justin Timberlake this year, and in order to capitalize on the success of that single he readies and album and chooses this:

As the cover? What is this shit?

 

[s_mirage]

The boobs, excellent, the song, not so much. Too long and a little dull IMO. I'd be pretty unlikely to listen to it without the video.

 

[mckmas8808]

The song is soo good.

#awesome

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Blurred Lines is the catchiest and funnest song I've heard in years. Makes me feel better, too. I listen to it all the time at the gym.

 

[Diprosalic]

i always see his dad when i hear the song.

 

[twobear]

Boring basic rapey song with a tedious heteronormative exploitative video.

Trash trash trash trash trash. Lord only knows how this is the biggest song in the world at the moment.

Well, actually, I know: straight people.

You must be a hit at parties.

Hey, straight people suck. Everything would be fixed if everyone was gay obviously.

 

[twobear]

You must be a hit at parties.

Like all gays, I am the life and soul of all fun.

 

[Aggrotek]

I made it like 30 seconds. I hated it.

 

[Village]

I made it like 30 seconds. I hated it.

Not my favoirte thicke song.

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

First time I saw the video the 2nd thought I had

Spoiler

first thought was dem beautiful breasts

was that this song is never gonna get any radio play. Welp I was dead ass wrong

 

[.GqueB.]

This is a song I never seek out this song but whenever I hear it I love it and start movin.

I just don't think Robin Thicke is cool enough for this song. Definitely isn't cool enough for the video. Such a dweebhole.

 

[y2dvd]

Never heard of Robin Thicke before this song. Didn't see the video until after I was hooked on it from the radio. Hooked on it even more after the vid because of...you know why.

I don't mind some pop songs bringing back the funk, and this song does it well.

 

[Pinko Marx]

Just listened to the song again. Have no idea how anyone can dislike it. Its such a fun song.

 

[Omegasquash]

It's pop, it's catchy, it is what it is. My wife loves it. I'm not a big fan, but I don't want to rip my ears off when it comes on the radio (full disclosure, I never control the radio if the wife is in the car, so I hear this quite a bit).

 

[Junior Mint]

Is it racist if I say that this is the perfect white guy song?

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

This uncensored version. I'm curious. For reasons.

 

[Chris R]

This uncensored version. I'm curious. For reasons.

It is glorious.

 

[KingGondo]

I'm not usually into (or even aware of) mainstream hits, but I love this song.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

It is glorious.

Do I have to spell it out?

 

[FinKL]

Amazing song.

"You wanna hug me...what rhymes with hug me?"

I've been arguing for a while the ONLY correct answer is

Spoiler

You wanna fuck me

and that is why after the above lyric, it goes silent #THICKE

Really? He has had some pretty big hits before this spammed on the radio too.

 

[The Outsider]

Song is good. Video is better.

 

[bigosc2k]

The song has been played to death at my job and that stupid beats pill commercial.

...

Also, fuck this annoying ass song. And the #THICKE thing...whose idea was that?

 

[junk]

i like Robin Thicke (1st album tho), and I think the song sucks too. I'd rather listen to the original its ripping, cuz ya can't top Marvin Gaye.

 

[Moofers]

Sweet fancy Moses, that brunette! If that's not proof of God's existence, I don't know what is. I mean good lord! Whew! Cold shower needed over here....

 

[Borgnine]

I just found out today who did this and what it's actually called, I've been calling it the hey hey hey song.

 

[bort]

I should put this in that mindblowing actor stuff thread

 

[Sober]

Uncensored video actually delivered. I thought it was just going to be pretty tame but well .... tits.

 

[Double D]

Fug me. Fug me rhymes with hug me. He wants to fug the friggin heck out of those women.

 

[TylerD]

I had no clue that Robin was Alan's son. Mind blown! Though they do look similar so only partially blown.

Oh, that Emily girl is BAAAAAAAD.

 

[IGotBillySoSpooked]

QOTSA's version is better.

That was pretty shitty. Vampire Weekend did a good cover.

I like the song. I love the video.

 

[Rollo Lawson]

Great song. Happy to hear justice given to Marvin's composition because Aaliyah butchered it

 

[Village]

ignore this

 

[PhoenixDark]

It's the song Justin Timberlake wishes he could do.

 

[MIMIC]

The song has been played to death at my job and that stupid beats pill commercial.

I''d rather her this a thousand times than "I'M LOOKIN RIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT AT THE OTHER HALF OF MEEEEEEE" or "SO WE PUT OUR HANDS UP LIKE THE CEILING CAN'T HOLD USSSSSSSSSS."

So. Fucking. Sick. Of. Those. Songs.

 

[junk]

haha, "mirrors" sounds like a lost n'sync track.

 

[royalan]

It's the song Justin Timberlake wishes he could do.

Yep. JT's salt is obvious, especially after his last video. Wonder why nobody is up in arms about that...

 

[polg]

I find the song so annoying, repetitive and never ending.

And I love how the discussion about a song brings up the importance of boobs on a music video. Stay classy gaf.

 

[Kurita]

I didn't know the guy before that but I have to say that it's a pretty catchy song.
I don't listen to it unless I hear it on the radio or during parties but still, I like it a lot.
