Robin Thicke's always been known for his soulful,
baby-making tunes, but this time around, it's his scandalous music video that's
making all the headlines.
The unrated version of "Blurred Lines," which
Thicke premiered in April, just so happens to feature some lovely ladies who
happen to not be wearing any clothes. YouTube quickly banned the naked clip,
but not before it racked up more than one million hits!
But you know what they say…any press is good press. The ban
was just what the single needed to go viral. "We just had a great feeling
about the song," Thicke told Carson Daly Wednesday morning. "I made
it last summer. I mean, I had it for about 8 or 9 months, you know, and Jimmy
Iovine liked it, but nobody was really jumping all around the place for
it."
"And then we shot video. Jimmy Iovine called me 7
seconds into the video…and he said, 'This is a smash! This video is
amazing!'"
"We had always planned on making an unrated, we like to call it, [version]. Not X, it's just unrated! So what we would do is shoot a segment with the girls dressed and then they would take their clothes off [and] we'd shoot the same shot."
Of course, the 36-year-old entertainer got approval from his
wife, actress Paula Patton, before going ahead with the racy shoot.
