I love it...for some reason the beat just for a second reminds me of Give It 2 Me by Madonna. Yeah, they have almost the same beat now that I think about. Both produced by Pharrell I expect. [/quote] My mom asked me if I could help her find a certain song that she's been hearing on the radio for the past 1-2 weeks. She couldn't remember the melody, all she remembered was that it sounded like a Madonna song from a couple years ago, and that it's sung by a male. I immediately knew it was this song

I know a lot of Becky Sues jumping all over this like it's the freshest thing to come out since disco. The reference point is clearly Marvin Gaye's classic "Got To Give It Up" (which Aaliyah also covered) with what sounds like an MJ vocal sample (the yelp that keeps popping up). No matter. The song is hot and infectious and goofy and Robin sounds great, as always. I dug the song prior to the Voice performance but that performance REALLY sold it.

She couldn't remember the melody, all she remembered was that it sounded like a Madonna song from a couple years ago, and that it's sung by a male. I immediately knew it was this song I know exactly what you mean. I've seen a bunch on people on Yahoo! Answers saying similar things like: "I heard this new song on the radio, it was a guy singing and sounded retro and had a bunch of other people making strange noises throughout the song..." Well, that leads me to only two options: this and "Get Lucky" Then I came across one... "I saw this music video on YouTube, but I don't remember what it was. It had a guy in it with a bunch of nearly naked girls running around. IDK, like 5 girls or something. They were in plastic wrap in a white room and by the end of the song they were pretty much naked." ^If that isn't the most accurate description of this song's music video...

Over 200k sold, and no top 10 peak, just like "Clique" :( However, unlike Clique this is actually a good song so it will enter soon lol. Although I'm sure Clique would've gone top 10 if it got as much pop airplay as Blurred Lines is going to get.

I love the whole concept behind the song. Feeling like 2 old perverted men on the porch hollering at the young women that pass by. Genius. Also glad Kevin Hart was not able to make his video appearance. We would've never got T.I. on the track.

Wow! It had slipped all the way down to #4 at one point behind "Can't Hold Us" and "Just Give Me a Reason." I guess when "Clouds" came along and knocked off "Can't Hold Us" again it helped the song lose momentum so "Blurred Lines" could pass back in front of both!

This is starting off at the right time. This could be in contention for Song of the Summer. It just has that feel to it. The random vocal yells, the video, the lyrics. Everything is just right.

This has totally shot up UK iTunes in the past 24 hours and now has a commanding lead. Did they have a performance over there last night?

He hasn't been to the UK yet and the song is only starting its radio airplay run over there. Just massive pre-orders and interest for it. Apparently will be in the UK in a few weeks.

At first I thought this was quite boring, but I found myself singing the melody out loud before going to bed. I'm starting to like it, and I've got this feeling it's going to be pretty big. :)

I love all of his performances, especially of this song. He's so charismatic and has great stage presence. Not to mention he has an amazing voice.
