06/Robin Thicke featuring T.I. & Pharrell/Blurred Lines
Let's start with the dancing feet of Clifford Harris, Jr. Whether he's faking the funk or not, T.I.'s dance moves in this song's video perfectly encapsulates what Blurred Lines sets out to do and succeeds in accomplishing over the course of its four and half minute running time: groove you, and get you to shake that ass. Does it recall that other song by the late great Marvin Gaye? Yes. And? So? That's part of the appeal. Blurred Lines wants to rock with you and take you there, just like that jam it's slightly reminiscent of. And on this front it succeeds, standing alone as its own entity and one for the dancefloor for years to come. Cause when we're busy giving up the ghost with our two step a la Mr. Harris, or harmonizing with the men on the mic, we're grooving to the rhythms of Robin & Pharrell, and this, more than anything, can't be denied. Got to give it up.
