<p>Is this the song that was on SYTYCD last night?</p>
<p>I hate that I love that song so much. And Get Lucky.</p>
<p>I’m with whoever asked about the crass language. Ds2 was telling me all about the Kendrick Lamar controversy and played some of the song. It was so profane I told him to turn it off. I’m no prude. I’d listen to a lot more rap if it weren’t so profane.</p>
<p>I think there are plenty worse songs out there; I don’t feel bad about liking the song! I also told my H about it and told him about the video. As an ob-gyn, he’s seen naked women before :-)</p>
<p>Blurred Lines has far outsold Get Lucky and stayed at the top of the charts far longer–so it’s being be considered the song of the summer. I find it infectious (and have enjoyed some of the spoof videos) and haven’t gotten sick of it yet–I was sick of Get Lucky after two listens. As for the lyrics–there’s a lot worse out there.</p>
<p>Love Get Lucky, agree it’s reminiscent of disco- the hustle. Tried to explain this to my girls. Tried to show them some hustle steps. Secret (ok, not so secret) love of disco.</p>
<p>It is too cool we parents are talking this music. :)</p>
<p>Have to admit I like both Blurred Lines and Get Lucky.</p>
<p>YDS - D was playing a Kendrick Lamar album (she’s my old school vinyl girl) yesterday while I was working at home. I know what you mean about the lyrics!</p>
<p>Love Get Lucky reminds me of Carl Carlton’s Bad Mama Jama or a little of Earth Wind and Fire. LOVE the Soul Train clip with the song.</p>
<p>Great youtube syncs dance clips from Soul Train to Get Lucky.</p>
<p>oops xpost</p>

<p>Well crud, I liked the song when I couldn’t understand what they were saying.</p>
<p>Oh, there are catchy songs that say worse things. In the mean time, “everybody get up” and freak to this song. ;)</p>
<p>I think that reading the lyrics has ruined the song for me.
Really gross.</p>
<p>Just watched the Soul Train video meld with Get Lucky ( which seems to have less … What’s even the word here?..lyrics). That’s so fun. I think I counted 5 or 10 outfits that I actually wore to school in the day. Suede hot-pants with zip-font sweater? Check. Mini jump-suit with wide belt, check. Hot pants under loooong vest? Check. And I got away with this silly wardrobe mostly as an 8th -10th grader. Thanks for the memories!</p>
<p>I saw/heard it for the first time on Colbert – I thought it was a really catchy tune but the lyrics bothered me. Then I watched the original video – the one where the models are naked – and was really turned off.</p>
<p>Google the parody done by Melinda Hughes. It’s hysterical and spot on. If I’m going to work out to this song, I’d rather be listening to this parody than the original.</p>
<p>ETA: The parody makes more sense if you’ve seen the original video, but as migraine says (we cross posted), it could be a trigger for some people.</p>
<p>"Blurred Lines’ is a sexist piece of rape culture served up on a platter. Had to change the radio twice in the car today because that trash came on (and I could also write a paper on how the video is the epitome of feminism’s nightmare).</p>
<p>On the other hand, Get Lucky is pretty catchy.</p>
<p>Also, Melinda Hughes everyone: <a href=“Blurred Lines Parody - Lame Lines - YouTube”>Blurred Lines Parody - Lame Lines - YouTube;
<p>Huh. And here I would love to look like the dark-haired girl in that video, who is stunning!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Thankfully, someone on this thread has some sense. This is not a catchy little tune. It’s a creepy rape song.</p>
<p>^^ agree</p>
<p>It’s unfortunate that it’s such a catchy tune. My D and I decided it should be renamed “The Happy Little Date Rape Song”. More appropriate to the lyrics and the awful, awful video.</p>
<p>Yeah, “because Iknow you want it…”</p>
<p>Yep, creepy date rape song.</p>
<p>Throwback to what we never expected our daughters to have to contend with. Gag.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Stunning, yes. Able to understand how she just set her whole gender back 4,000 years? Not so much.</p>
