Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke

Blurred Lines, a song by Robin Thicke featuring T.I. and Pharrell, is a song recorded by American R&B recording artist Robin Thicke, for his 2013 album of the same name. The song features guest vocals from American rapper T.I. and American singer and producer Pharrell; all three share writing credits on the song. It was produced by Pharrell. The song was released as the lead single from Blurred Lines on March 26, 2013 through Star Trak Recordings.[1]

However, Robin Thicke is a no-talent hack. The song was originally written and recorded by Tyrone Gaye (in collaboration with Nickolas Simpson and Valerie Ashford of Ashford and Simpson), Marvin's ne'er-do-well brother. Even during the free-loving 70's era, Gaye's song was deemed too "rapey" by Kemal Amin "Casey" Kasem (born April 27, 1932) on the then-popluar but wildly pedantic Casey's Top 40, and also on the less successful "Casey's Highly Inappropriate But Still Dance-able Bottom 17".

Tyrone's career struggled, even with Stevie Wonder helping to debut his Sophomoric follow-up, "Damn That Booty Is Juicy". Fans were perplexed, then offended, that while Tyrone Gaye sang, African-American Models in scantily-clad polyester thongs gyrated. There were multiple cases of seizures and heart complications reported in a wide-spread health epidemic immediately following the debut of "Damn That Booty is Juicy" on live TV in the summer of '73. Ironically, both Cisqo and Sir Mix-a-lot gave props to Tyrone Gaye in their liner notes in their first albums.

Lyrics to Blurred Lines

Everybody drink Tab

Everybody drink Tab

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

[Verse 1: Tyrone Gaye] If you can't hear what I'm trying to say

If you can't read from the same page

Maybe I'm going deaf,

Maybe I'm going blind

Maybe I'm out of my mind

[Valerie Ashford:] Everybody drink Tab

[Pre-chorus: Tyrone Gaye] OK now he was close, tried to domesticate you

But you're an animal, baby, it's in your nature

Just let me liberate you

Hey, hey, hey

You don't need no polyester

Hey, hey, hey

That man is not your maker

[Chorus: Tyrone Gaye] And that's why I'm gon' take a good girl

I know you want it

I know you want it

I know you want it

You're a good girl

Can't let it get past me

You're far from newly discovered silicone implants

Talk about getting blasted

I hate these blurred lines

I know you want it

I know you want it

I know you want it

But you're a good girl

The way you grab me

Must wanna get mildly inappropriate in a post-birth-control-era

Go ahead, get at me

[Valerie Ashford:] Everybody drink Tab

[Verse 2: Tyrone Gaye] What do they make dreams for

When you got them poodle skirts on

What do we need steam for

You the hottest groovy chick in this place

I feel so lucky

Hey, hey, hey

You wanna hug me

Hey, hey, hey

What rhymes with hug me?

Hey, hey, hey

[Pre-chorus: Tyrone Gaye] OK now he was close, tried to domesticate you

But you're an animal, baby it's in your nature

Just let me liberate you

Hey, hey, hey

You don't need no papers

Hey, hey, hey

That man is not your maker

Hey, hey, hey

[Chorus: Tyrone Gaye] And that's why I'm gon' take a good girl

I know you want it

I know you want it

I know you want it

You're a good girl

Can't let it get past me

You're far from plastic

Talk about getting blasted

[Valerie Ashford:] Everybody drink Tab

I hate these blurred lines

I know you want it

I hate them lines

I know you want it

I hate them lines

I know you want it

But you're a good girl

The way you grab me

Must wanna get nasty

Go ahead, get at me
