Robin Thicke feat. T.I. & Pharrell"Blurred Lines" [Listen][Amazon][iTunes]

Robin Thicke, long the bridesmaid's neglected cousin in the pop/R&B world, suddenly became the bride this year with his Song of the Summer, "Blurred Lines." With an infectious, Pharrell-produced track helping Thicke further his long-held Marvin Gaye obsession, DJs at house parties, brunches and BBQs the world over brought generations together whenever this cut was mixed in with Gaye's "Got To Give It Up." Sure, this chart smash soon spawned a backlash to its sexploitative video, supposedly rapey lyrics and the legal wranglings with Gaye's estate. But listeners everywhere will always remember the first time they had to ponder what rhymed with "hug me." -- Remi
