are you serious, this song is instant get ya ass on the dance floor

This song is funky! i mean it has a funky vibe and is probbaly the funkiest song to go number 1 in awhile thanks to that Pharrell beat! i am also glad Pharrell is back in the spotlight this year with Daft Punk & Robin.

in a recent interview Robin actually said that was the feel they were goiing for a "got to give it up" vibe

It's a cold jam!

Does sound like Marvin, I've wondered the same thing about the credits

Let them worry about "credit." The song is played almost everywhere. Just pat your feet to the beat or get up and dance

Here is the information from ASCAP. Marvin is not credited as one of the writers .

I agree this song is the most infectious jam I've heard in a long time.If anyone can't get their groove on to this,something is wrong with them.

The problem is this maybe going to be Thicke's only hit, you know, like Somebody That I Used to Know for Gotye, or Party Rock Anthem for LMFAO, or Take me On for A-Ha... Thicke is sick, for sure, he sings pretty good, but Blurred Lines is just his "chance" hit, I doubt if he's going to spawn other hits in the future.

I really want to hate it, as the video is such an pathetic load of teenage boy twaddle, made all the worse by the fact that the main draw appears to have all the charisma of a flannel; but I have to admit it's kinda catchy.

I didn't feel the track at first (I thought it was a flimsy bit of nothing), but after hearing it at a party at loud volume it suddenly clicked! Perfect summertime throwaway dance tune...

Yeah,it's a whole different experience when you hear this song in a party/club setting!

Eh, considering "When I Get You Alone" or "Lost Without U" (depending on your country) were already pretty big hits — although certainly not of this magnitude — I'd say you're wrong.

FWIW, a-ha could only be considered a 1-hit wonder here in the US. The band had multiple hits in every other country.

Uh,Robin is not a one-hit wonder He's already had several hits already and from the samples I've heard from this new album,he's on track to have several more big hits this year.

The song is played in a very similar rhythm to Got To Give It Up, but because it has no melodic similarity, there doesn't need to be any credit gifted. Rhythms are pretty much allowed as a free for all when it comes to paying homage to previous pieces of music.

This shit is a straight up rip off of Got To Give It Up and anyone with a half an ear could hear that.

If it were a Prince song they ripped off, the org would have fried him for not giving Prince partial production credit and cutting him a royalty check twice a year.

I see selective recognition is at work around here.

Ripoff rhythmically, yeah, melodically, no. I thought of "Got to give it up" the first time I heard Blurred Lines too. The OP asked about credit being given to Marvin, and I said no credit required, as the law only recognises melody over chords. Sampling directly off an original record is another story, but they didn't sample in Blurred Lines, they recorded a new drum track playing the same rhythm. No sample, and no similar melody = complete new composition, as recognised by copyright law.

[img:$uid]http://i.minus.com/iD5vc36Zw7Y89.gif[/img:$uid] with that technicality bullshit. The damn song SOUNDS LIKE GOT TO GIVE IT UP. You can play the law game card all day but ears don't lie. That shit is a rip. Like I said, if it were a Prince song, the org would be shitting all over Robin Thicke calling him a fraud and a phony but its okay since its just some black soul singer that most around here don't really know other than hearing his name mentioned. There's always double standards around here.

It may pass legally but realistiocally, that shit is derivative as hell. Even the vocal arrangements aren't original. They are derivative of other songs as well. Its lame to try to pass some shit off as original when people know its not. I guess y'all love to pretend around here but the truth is the truth no matter how much people try to lie to change it.
