probably the most controversial song of the decade.
a) Rapey lyrics
b) Accused of plagarising Marvin Gaye's Gotta Give It Up was subsequently sued for it
Bogus on both counts, IMO
a) No such thing as "rapey". A shit word which is thankfully no longer as fashionable as it was a few years ago. Feminists were just getting on their high horse and using the most played track of the year to push their agenda. Sexist and patriarchal? Maybe. Condoning rape?

I think not… People trivialised rape by describing "Blurred Lines" as rapey.
b) Thicke & Pharrell lost the copyright case, but they've appealed the verdict and hopefully they win. I think they were dudded. Their song is not the same as the Marvin Gaye track they emulated. The melody, words & hook are nothing alike. You can't copyright a sound, a groove or a style. Where would the music industry be if people successfully sued each other for copying sounds or style? Pfft…
