Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines' Written in One Hour as Thicke and Pharrell Danced Around Studio 'Like Old Men'

A single song can propel an entire career. Robin Thicke has long been a talented, world-renowned R&B singer, but never broke to the forefront. Now he's finally getting his turn. The title single off his forthcoming album, Blurred Lines, has topped the UK charts for two weeks running and the song's music video has generated an uproarious buzz like Thicke has never experienced before. Amidst the burst of fame, the singer took some time to talk to Radio.com last week about writing the track and how it is redefining his career.

Last summer, Thicke and Pharrell Williams stepped into the studio to recreate a vibe captured in Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give it Up," Thicke's favorite song of all time. Within the first hour, "Blurred Lines" was born.

"In the studio, Pharrell and I started jamming," Thicke said. "One of the first things Pharrell did was go, 'Hey, hey, hey!' and then we started having such a great time. We were dancing around the studio like old men. We were doing our old men barbecue dances." Whatever the entails, it's apparent that the two singers were enjoying the first taste of "Blurred Lines."

The two danced around the studio the entire night, but neither had any idea of the success the song would achieve. "We felt like maybe it was something special but it was so different," Thicke said. "We didn't know it would be this big."

As Latinos Post previously reported, the single "Blurred Lines" has an interesting backstory, one that has certainly attracted listeners. The original music video for "Blurred Lines" features Thicke with TI and Williams alongside three supermodels, dancing around scantily dressed against white walls. The video is provocative, sexy, classy and invigorating. A perfect match for the song. But then the unedited version came out, and it changed everything.

The explicit version is essentially the one and the same, besides one major difference: the models are topless, making it just a tad more memorable for most viewers. Once the unrated video made its way into public hands, there was no stopping it, and the more people watched the video, the more they listened to the song. The video made the song popular, and once it achieved worldwide recognition, people tapped into its simplistic, funky chopped beat, catchy falsettos, and overall feel good groove. The video may have given the track a boost up the charts, however, it deserves its recognition. Check out the 'tame' version of the music video below.
