What can I say? John Standring inspires me…
[what follows is a verse-by-verse representation with the song Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke (clean version). the link will take you to the song on YouTube, in a separate window, so you can play it in the background while following along with the lyrics in this post.]
hey, hey, hey..hay
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
Okay now he was close, tried to domesticate you
but you’re an animal, baby it’s in your nature
Just let me liberate you
You don’t need no papers
That man is not your maker
And that’s why Imma take a good girl
(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
I hate these blurred 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
What do they make dreams for
when you got them jeans on
What do we need steam for
you the hottest b**ch in this place
I feel so lucky
You wanna hug me
What rhymes with hug me?
Okay now he was close, tried to domesticate you
but you’re an animal, baby it’s in your nature
Just let me liberate you
You don’t need no papers
That man is not your maker
And that’s why Imma take a good girl
(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
blurred lines
(I know you want it)
but you’re a good girl
the way you grab me, must want to get nasty
go ahead and get at me
Shake the vibe
get down; get up
do it like it hurt, like it hurt
what’chu don’t like work?
Baby can you breathe?
I got this from Jamaica
it always works for me, Dakota to Decatur
No more pretending, cause now you’re winning
here’s our beginning
I always wanted a good girl
(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
I hate these blurred lines
(I know you want it)
but you’re a good girl
The way you grab me
must wanna get nasty
Go ahead and get at me

“Mug me” rhymes with “hug me.” But I live in New York City. Also, Rugby, tug me and dug me.

Rugby is good but John is clueless, so he wouldn’t think of the other two 😀

My sister is OBSESSED with this song (about 2 months about everyone else) so guess what she’s watching when she comes home with the pizza 🙂 That’s only if she gets me a veggie one, otherwise no blurred lines for her.

I couldn’t help but like the song when I first heard it, even though I didn’t appreciate that original rap part 😉 but then different versions of the video/lyrics caught my eye and the clean version isn’t that bad, so
LikeLike
Well, I’m not ashamed to say like it 🙂 It’s got a great riff and beat, it’s a great song to dance to. Most pop songs have the most ridiculous lyrics, many can be interpreted as offensive, but this song was so popular this summer it got a lot more press and stick from peeps.
BTW pizza arrived, to my satisfaction so Magzy got to see it too. Now everyone’s happy 😉

I think this is very, very clever and wonderful assembly of caps of John and Carol. But I have trouble with this song, its misogynistic associations and its rape (read: stolen) of a classic Marvin Gaye. For me, its a bit difficult to get past that, even when the charming Jimmy Fallon and The Roots embrace it and create a nifty version with creepy Thicke.
LikeLike
in the original version I do not like the rap portion, it’s crude and just not my style. the majority of the song though, I have no problem with; I don’t see it as a woman-hater song. above all though, the beat moves me; oftentimes against my will 😛

I think what’s nice about the picspam (for me, anyway) is that it totally contradicts the vibe of the song. That’s why it’s cute …

good, that was my intention! I think it can be fun and thought provoking to apply lyrics to different scenarios.

I haven’t heard this song in its entirely, and even when with all the Miley tongue and giant rubber hand assault, I couldn’t even figure out the riff because she was too distracting.
But seeing John Standring and Carol pics is really refreshing 🙂
