Although they are obviously the heirs to Marvin Gaye's estate and the law is the law, it bugs me that the Gaye family get to profit from this and be all sanctimonious about it, twatting on about being "freed from chains" and all that bollocks.
Pharrell may have borrowed from Marvin's work but in terms of creative activity he's still well ahead of the Gaye family members. They're just lucky who they're related to.
(If Marvin Gaye's family are actually musicians, then I apologise, a bit.... but nobody bothered to steal their stuff anyway)
Best part is, the case was actually brought about to block the families claim, not the other way around. PW and thicke tried to block the songs even being played in full in court, just approved snippets.
I dont think the shit the family are getting is justified, plus the song is lyrically disgusting in its content.
I dont remember any other No1 songs about rape tbh, but hey, feel free to enlighten me...
There was a song in the charts when I was a kid called "Can I Tickle Your Fancy?" and I thought it was the RUDEST thing I had ever heard.
This was before I had googled the works of An*l C*nt, admittedly.

So it sounded a bit like a Marvin Gaye song, so what? Lots of songs sound like other songs. It doesn't matter.
Marvin Gaye's not even here to express an opinion. In my book, some people who didn't write a Marvin Gaye song have been made to pay money to someone else who didn't write a Marvin Gaye song. Who's the winner here, except for Marvin Gaye's daughter?
