PagongRatEater 12996 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-09-13, 03:58 PM (EST) "Blurred lines" I'm conflicted on the possible mysogeny of this video/song. On the one hand, it seems like it's just a song and people should get over it. OTOH, is there some question as to if the sing/video promote the message that "no" does not mean no? As a father of a 17yo daughter, I'm not 100% comfortable. But I also hate ovversensitivity. Apparently, it's pretty controversial so perhaps OT can set me straight here.   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Never seen the video, the only performance I've watched of it was on AGT awhile back. It's a catchy tune but I've no idea what he's saying, it's just kind of a snappy pop thing.

LAST EDITED ON 09-09-13 AT 05:21 PM (EST) Approach at your own risk. http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/robinthicke/blurredlines.html For the record, I A. now hate everyone involved with this song B. find it to be completely typical for 90% of anything semi-English that gets blasted out of the windows as cars go through my neighborhood C. Would not censor it, but -- no matter how uncomfortable it makes you -- should your daughter be listening to it, I'd give serious thought to sitting down with her and the lyric sheet, then going over what all of it means. It's not going to be pleasant and she'll not only hate you for it, she won't stop being humiliated for about three years. But if you're worried that she's getting the wrong message, you have to establish just what you feel that message is. For the record, I feel it's focused on a man trying to get a woman to cheat. Get away from your lame boyfriend: I'll abuse you like I feel you should be abused. There's some unpleasant images here suggesting how he'll treat her, starting with the hair pulling and moving on from there. The sexual ones are neither subtle nor kind. But to me, based on the lyrics, it's more about a virtual order to infidelity made by an abusive egotist than it is rape. However, I haven't watched the video yet. And I am now rather reluctant to do so. ETA: Okay, I now have a few words for the rated version of the video. Starting with 'cheap', 'poorly-shot', 'undirected', 'boring', and to finish off, 'self-indulgent crap'. On the other hand, I'm sure it's a really great advertisement for AutoTune.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

dabo 26693 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-09-13, 08:19 PM (EST) 8. "RE: Lyrics." I see. It's a "bad boy" song in which Thicke's adopted persona is something of a misogynist hedonist hounddog who thinks highly of his own sexual abilities. Not exactly appropriate for a pre-teen audience, but what's the point? If it celebrates the adopted persona, promotes this as a norm that should be aspired to, that would be wrong. If it simply exposes this character as someone who exists in the world, is somewhat a norm though not one that should be aspired to, wouldn't that be getting out the word? Robin Thicke himself doesn't seem like the Charlie Sheen character the song reveals or revels in. Anyway, if Madonna could have a hit with "Material Girl" and that song's adopted persona (which, yeah, may not have been that much of a stretch for her), why not let Thicke reveal reality in his own way. That said, still haven't watched the video and I'm not certain I would want to.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

kingfish 18107 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-11-13, 09:41 AM (EST) 12. "RE: Blurred lines" FWIW, young girls often don't get into what the lyrics are actually saying. I remember cringing back when Madonna had "Like a Virgin", and watching at a neighbor's house while her daughters, 8, 9 & 10YO, did their version. Three little girls, singing and dancing "Like a vir-r-r-gin, touched for the very first time". But as far as I could tell they were just singing the lyrics phonetically. The Mom was beaming, proud of her girls talents, but it was a little uncomfortable for me. It may be a "head in the sand", or a "sand in the head" way of dealing with it, but what'cha gonna do? It's part of the real world that we all and they have to learn to deal with.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Brownroach 15092 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-06-14, 01:15 AM (EST) 24. "Another word crime?" So I just saw a preview for Tea Leoni's upcoming new show "Madame Secretary", in which she plays the Secretary Of State. She responds to another character's query (I think the Chief of Staff) that she accomplished something by "circumnavigating your authority". Now I know "circumnavigate" means "to go around" but I always thought it was used strictly in a geographic sense, i.e. to physically travel around a location -- "circumnavigate the globe"; "circumnavigate a war zone". It seems to me that the correct word here would be "circumvent", which also means to "go around", but in the sense of bypassing/ignoring regulations, red tape, other abstract obstacles etc., possibly through trickery, and has no geographic connotation. So is Tea correct to use "circumnavigate"? It really sounded odd to me. Grammarians of OT, weigh in...   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I hate stodginess in language usage. It's an interpretive and creative skill. But I agree, the use of circumnavigate seems unnecessarily clumsy and slightly inappropriate. Circumvent does seem to be closer to what she was reaching for. Is she correct? Technically, probably so. Would circumvent have been more correct? I think so. I like Tea Leoni though; the dialog (word usage notwithstanding) was sharp in the trailer, so I will give it a chance.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Bieber Bash: Justin Bieber has already set the musical and creative "horrible precedent" bar. "The decision, which hinged on the fact that Gaye's family owned only elements of the sheet music to 'Got to Give It Up'". Elements of the sheet music? How do they divide up sheet music into elements? Do they just own a few of the notes, or words? Or just page one and not page two? Chord progressions GCD, and not ADE? They kept some elements and sold off others? This had to have been a tough technical trial for a jury to deal with. And with Marvin Gaye estate on one side, it was emotionally weighted in their favor, I guess.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Brownroach 15092 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-12-15, 00:19 AM (EST) 31. "RE: Worst. Copyright Infringement. Decision. Ever." LAST EDITED ON 03-13-15 AT 01:35 PM (EST) "The decision, which hinged on the fact that Gaye's family owned only elements of the sheet music to 'Got to Give It Up'" That's a clumsy way for them to have worded it, but it refers to what aspects of a musical work are actually included in the work's copyright protection. When you apply for a copyright registration on a musical work, you have to submit a "deposit" that represents a tangible version of it (since actual music is intangible). In 1977 when the Marvin Gaye song came out, the Library of Congress only accepted a notated version of a musical work (a lead sheet, published sheet music, musical score, etc.) as a deposit, so the sheet music is likely what the Library of Congress has on file for that work. I'm guessing that was a factor in the judge instructing the jury to consider the elements of the sheet music only. Much later on, the L of C started accepting audio recordings as deposits, which is probably what the "Blurred Lines" creators submitted. Either way, the issue is what exactly the copyright protection covers. For a pop song, it's generally agreed that at a minimum the melody is covered as well as the lyrics, if there are lyrics. Beyond that, things can be subject to interpretation. The harmonic progression - which may include, for example, the bass line - is usually considered as within the coverage when used in conjunction with the melody and lyrics, since a melody generally has to be supported by some harmonic underpinnngs -- but it is not generally considered covered as a separate entity of its own. (Otherwise three-chord rock songs like "Louie Louie", "Get Off My Cloud", "Hang On Sloopy", even "Summer Nights" from Grease would all be infringing each other since they have the same basic harmonic pattern.) Nothing is cut and dried though, and that is why these situations get litigated (or, more often, settlements are finessed outside of court). I'm surprised this one went this far. I think you're probably right that sentiment toward the Gaye estate influenced the verdict. But I just don't feel there's any infringement of the actual material that would be covered by the Marvin Gaye copyright. The newer song is suggestive of the older one in its way, but that's as far as it goes.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Thanks BR, that does clear up my muddlement. I learned something here, no sarcasm intended. So the comparison was between a notated version of the song and an audio recording. A very tough comparison to make, I would think, seeing as how few jury members could probably sight read the music expertly enough to make that kind of comparison. It seems to me to be pretty impossible, in fact, to do that and come to the decision that they did since both sides would inevitably present different interpretations of the melodic side of Gaye's song. This precedent is going to make a lot of music industry lawyer rich. Richer. Aside: I had a friend who when inebriated would always bring out his guitar and bang out "G.L.O.R.I.A Gloria". It was another three chord progression, but I swear, I think he only used one. We, also being inebriated, would sing it at the top of our lungs. Dam fine music back then.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

The Sam Smith camp had to include others with his hit "Stay With Me" recently. I don't even remember the details but do remember thinking "huh, I would never have come up with that similarity." Our university encourages the use of a plagarism tool online for papers.

LAST EDITED ON 03-12-15 AT 00:32 AM (EST) The Sam Smith/Tom Petty agreement seems fair to me. The melodic phrase is exactly the same, with the same rhythm and the same chords underneath, and in both songs it's used for the title lyric, so it's the hook that you remember. And the Tom Petty song was a Top 12 hit, so it's not exactly obscure, it did get radio play (though I personally didn't remember it).   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
