It was pretty obvious. They basically took the entire Marvin Gaye song and simply added a rap over it.

You havent heard the end of this by a long shot, their lawyer Howard E. King told the Daily News after the verdict.Oh, goody...more celebrity "look at me" crap.
What is an "Alan Thicke", anyway?

That is the father of a “Robin Thicke” I think.

I don't know who Robin Thicke is, either.

Thicke and Pharell should have just said that like Weird Al Yankovich, they intended this as a parody...

It was pretty obvious.
I don't listen to today's "music" so I had never heard Blurred Lines before.
But I did catch a news story this morning that played it and within 5 seconds I thouht - Hey, that's Marvin Gaye.
Obvious is an understatement.

There was a time when I would have accepted such pronouncements from a Los Angeles Jury as objective and fair, but after the O.J. Simpson trial, I no longer just assume Los Angeles jury verdicts are based on actual facts.
Now I want to see what the Jury looks like.
To: DiogenesLamp
I think the case can be judged by ANY individual with a musical ear.
Just listen to “Blurred Lines” and Marvin Gaye’s “Got to Give It Up”.

Regardless of the jury’s racial makeup, the similarities are very obvious.

Similar beat, but not noticeably the same song, at least not to me. I'd like to see the sheet music and compare beats and notes.

Something makes me think that Thicke has already burned through the money.

It takes real skill to steal from Marvin Gaye and still produce a crap song.

RE: It takes real skill to steal from Marvin Gaye and still produce a crap song.
But it was last year’s biggest hit... what does that say about music appreciation nowadays?
