In 2013, Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams and T.I. released "Blurred Lines" and it was a huge success in America and around the world, reaching number one on major music charts and collecting millions of people in revenue for them. Most people liked the song for the catchy beat or the mellow sounds of Robin Thicke's voice, myself included. But once you start listening to the lyrics more often, you start to really listen and pay attention to what they're saying. After finally hearing what they are actually saying and seeing the extremely racy and questionable music video, you have a major controversy on your hands. This enabled the Auckland Law Revue's creation of "Defined Lines" to criticize and parody the song, to highlight its sociological impacts. they are real people who deserve respect. “One thing I ask of you/Don't assume we all just want to fuck/You gotta respect me if I'm your friend” is the opening line of the song's third verse. The whole verse is about getting the respect women deserve, for being more than just sex objects. This is important because it shows how we should treat women in our society rather than seeing them in a light that 50 years ago saw women as cooks, cleaners and mothers. Another way that "Defined Lines" parodies "Blurred Lines" instead of being subtle and secretive about word choice when referring to sexual harassment/abuse, they are very open about it considering the fact that it is a significant social issue in our society today. The Auckland Law Revue did a great job with their song when they said "If you want to get bad/Don't molest me/You can't just take me/This is a sex crime/Yeah, we don't want that." They are pointing out that women have a say when it comes to scenarios like that and how they can get ugly very quickly. Like the song “Blurred Lines” says “I must want to get bad / Go ahead, take me.” This is essential to know because it shows women standing up, while "Defined Lines" is very explicit and frank about how these acts are important to be recognized and be able to be stopped. This is important because it allows us to contextualize when these songs were produced and now how we focus so much on issues like rape/harassment. Allowing us to improve as a society and work towards a goal of equal rights. The way “Defined Lines” parodies “Blurred Lines” by exposing the truth behind the lyrics and being very clear about the message of the song rather than being subtle. It also touches on issues such as gender inequality and sexuality, which are very controversial topics in themselves, but which are able to shed new light on a recurring problem in our world. This has led to a whole new understanding of these issues and the ways in which we as a society can do so
