uuuh well if you paid attention to the lyrics

a lot of the phrases are actual common shit actual rapists say to their victims

plus thicke straight up said in an interview the song is about sexually harassing women on the street

so

Link please?

i don't have a link. they just played that part of the interview on the damn radio every single time they were about to play the actual song.

so i suggest googling.

Ok, well if you're going to make a claim like that the responsibility is on you to back it up, not throw out some snarky comment about google.

IT'S YOUR JOB TO EDUCATE YOURSELF ON MY BULLSHIT LIES. YOU CAN'T FIND IT? YOU DON'T GOOGLE HARD ENOUGH.

think what you want of thicke's explanations, i still think he's a nasty fuck but

Robin Thicke explained the song's meaning to The Daily Star: "It is mostly throwaway fun, but naturally Pharrell and I - being in love with our wives, having kids and loving our mothers - we have a lot of respect for women," he said. "So the way we were seeing it is, 'I know man tries to domesticate you but you're an animal, you are just like any man'.
"It is also about the blurred line between a good girl and bad girl, people who want to get naughty," he added.

[...]

Thicke addressed the debate over the song's lyrics during an interview with Today's Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie. "When we made the song, we had nothing but the most respect for women and - my wife, I've been with the same woman since I was a teenager," the singer said.

"So for us," he continued, "we were just trying to make a funny song and sometimes the lyrics get misconstrued when you're just trying to put people on the dance floor and have a good time, but we had no idea it would stir this much controversy. We only had the best intentions."

Thicke went on to claim that the debate over the song is a positive thing as it stirs conversation. "It's supposed to make us talk about what's important and what the relationship between men and women is," he said, "but if you listen to the lyrics it says 'That man is not your maker' - it's actually a feminist movement within itself."

"People say, ‘Hey, do you think this is degrading to women?’ I’m like, ‘Of course it is. What a pleasure it is to degrade a woman. I’ve never gotten to do that before. I’ve always respected women.”

Look, I don't think you can take everything an artist says about his work as the gospel truth - that quote almost sounds snarky. If he's been asked about the song countless times, he MIGHT get snarky about it.

Or, here's a shocker, he's trying to generate a little talk about it so it will sell more.

Yeah that's... not a good defence. Just sounds like you're trying to justify him saying something really horrible.
