Hey! Hey! Hey! Blurred lines.....


In a world that has recently been thriving on a rivalry in terms of controversial impact, perpetually asking the question of who can outdo the other in terms of social taboos and so forth. Robin Thicke’s song has been considered scandalous by a number of the public, however, it has also been recognised as a hugely popular song. Is that due to its scandalous nature or is it genuinely a piece of musical genius? The Blurred lines debate is something which has spread across all social classes, into each and every societal grouping: in a manner connecting each by their diverse reactions to this song. As a married artist, there is a seeming conjunction between the lyrics of blurred lines and the background of the main artist Robin Thicke. 
In my opinion this song was written in reaction to contemporary ideas and emotions, and thereby to condemn the song is condemn the nature of society. I personally believe Blurred Lines is extremely catchy and I quite enjoy it: misogynist lyrics and all. But it is a case of each to their own.

Below is the best parody of the song that I've come across...A Classic Feminist Parody:
