Blurred Lines...love it, hate it, meh?

[nolabear]

I'll confess. I think it's adorable. There's a lot of talk about objectification but fantasy is objectifying, and this is pure silly funny fantasy. And hot. And catchy. And I think it's an offshoot of Fifty Shades, the "Good Girl" that wants to be bad.

And if you want some real look up the unrated version and the gender swap version, which is damn near as good as the original and very funny/sexy.

1. the lyric is modern

but the music style is totally 70's. I love it.

I also think they are making fun of the genre.

[Yavin4]

6. They sampled Marvin Gaye's Got to Give it Up n/t

[nolabear]

7. I know! And some glad footin' to boot!

[Gravitycollapse]

2. Both the song and music video ooze rape culture.

[nolabear]

8. See I don't get that. To me it's temptation and seduction.

I mean, no one is talking force, they're talking teasing about getting over inhibition. Those inhibitions are often wise and should remain in place but fantasizing about losing them is ubiquitous. And certainly fantasizing about being the one who could cause that is. It's a lot like Billy Joel's "Only the Good Die Young" for the current age.

3. Needs catnip!

Maybe some kittehs too. I did laugh a little about it at the end though.

[eShirl]

4. meh: more silly/annoying than silly/fun

one of those songs that makes me switch to another station when it comes on

[RiffRandell]

5. Not a fan of pop music but love it.

Robin Thicke was on Howard Stern Monday....great guy and interview.

[bigwillq]

9. Love it. A great summer tune

Makes me wanna dance.

[one_voice]

10. I'm a bad girl..

I love it. Can't help but dance around when I hear it.

[Denninmi]

11. Kinda catchy. Sort of cute.

Harmless fun, more or less. Looks a lot like his dad.

[noamnety]

12. It makes me do this:

This is a contender for stupidest lyric ever written by a 14 year old wannabe frat boy:

"One thing I ask of you
Let me be the one you back that ass to
Go, from Malibu, to Paris, boo
Yeah, I 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"

-------------------------------------------
I just want to shove the idiot off a bridge.

[nolabear]

15. Lol! So posturing bugs you, eh?

Maybe I'm old but I find it kind of quaint, if you can call those risqué lyrics quaint. Reminds me of Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love, but sillier.

[noamnety]

17. I don't see anything quaint or charming about it.

Bitch, I'm gonna rip your ass in two just doesn't work for me as adorable, charming, quaint, or anything else with any redeeming qualities.

(I'm still making that face.)

[nolabear]

18. I understand how it could. I see it as present day sex slang

But I can easily understand (and encourage) anyone who is offended to say something like "Oh HELL no!"

[a la izquierda]

13. I seriously want to punch this song in the face.

That is all.

(For full disclosure, the only pop I like is Juanes. I'm a punk rock girl)

[nolabear]

16. Did you see the gender swap version?

Can't post from a mobile but it does make one think, and chuckle.

I'm not a pop lover in general myself but good pop like good everything is fun, and this is the epitome of pop being pop.

[Myrina]

14. I like the tune, don't pay attention to the words ...

... but I probably wouldn't want any tween children of mine (if I had them) to be singing/emulating it. It's definitely an 'adult fun' song.

[nolabear]

19. True dat! Might be the actual thing to fuss over.

Moms and Dads would so well to either forbid (yeah, right) or explain a whole lot about what they're saying and what is and isn't real or within their personal bounds.

[Iggo]

20. Not the worst pop music I've ever heard.

Catchy.

Cute video, too.

[AsahinaKimi]

21. I wonder if that one brunette model was the same one as in this..

Maybe not.. just reminded me of the above song.

[nolabear]

22. Her granddaughter, maybe!

[Locut0s]

23. I don't love it, but I'm above meh. I don't know what to vote...

I like it, it's catchy and sexy. I wouldn't go as far as saying I love it though.

[olddots]

24. In my astute musical opinion

feh which is Jewish for meh

[nolabear]

26. I always thought feh was a little more "fuck you" than meh.

Thanks for setting me straight.

[BainsBane]

25. Even without the controversy I'd hate it

It sucks as a song, IMO.

[opiate69]

27. Other....

Absolutely abhor the genre of music... the lyrics sound like something Zappa would have written to mercilessly satirize the genre, but I think these knuckleheads are somewhat in earnest with it... but I love pretty much anything that tweaks the nipples of the finger wagging crowd...

[nolabear]

28. Like Zappa. He was brilliant at it.

And a hell of a musician to boot.

[opiate69]

29. Most definitely... he's been a musical hero of mine since I

Started playing...
