Per the verdict of the California jury that’s been hearg the se, Thicke’s “rapey” anthem “Blurred L” is a direct rip-off of Gaye’s “Got to Give Up. ” The lg after nearly two years of odd ligatn, om Thicke tryg to preemptively sue the Gaye tate to this actual glor urt the payment uld’ve been avoid had Thicke and Williams read our gui to gettg away wh pop plagiarism, I thought would be bt to look at om a ntral standpot based only on the actual mic, given how this lg uld tablish a dangero theory analyz mic specific ways — the rhythm, the harmony, and the melody.
From a purely scientific standpot, here’s how the two songs groove is siar, but the rhythms are ’s a big nce here: Williams’ beat was clearly fluenced by Gaye’s. That don’t provi enough grounds for anythg on s own, though, otherwise every poser who wrote a march the past century ow John Philip Souza, who posed everythg om “Stars and Strip Forever” to what most people thk of as the Monty Python theme, a ton of two songs aren’t actually rhythmilly siar beyond the beat: the lead vol l are far different, wh Thicke stickg to simple rhythms on beat while Gaye stunts his to off-beat not wh nsistent lengths.

They’re set different keys, wh Thicke’s song G major and Gaye’s A major — but even if they weren’t, Gaye’s posn still has a different set of chords and Thicke a clever twist that Gaye don’ are lerally only two chords “Blurred L”; a lot of people have appropriately labeled G to D, but ’s actually C/G to D.

If the siari chords are enough for the songwrers to owe Gaye, than Smokey Robson should hire a good lawyer; the chord progrsn to “Got To Give It Up” is monplace soul, and as the leadg Motown songwrer, Robson ed IV to V on several hs a before “Got to Give Up” was one on Earth would nfe the two melody, for all tents and purpos, is the aspect of songs most people notice first. (Another small nce: the bass Gaye’s work the same chromatic passg motn as the “hey, hey, hey” part, but I don’t thk the urt was lg that the fill Gaye plays on synth bass was ripped off by three of “hey”. It’s actually a perfect vehicle to show off Gaye’s voice; the n is challengg by self, and he routely jumps up and down four sle not — no easy feat for an untraed volist.
