I love this—never paused to consider the distinction between “hemming” and “hawing” before.

She’s been in the same relationship for about 4 years now. This joke isn't funny anymore.

“Anyway, as for who these man-winners are”

It’s just their parents fucking.

Thank you.

Boy I really want to live in the sweet land of milk and honey that is the universe where this is actually the worst tweet ever.

Forgive my hyperbole; they were not literally deaf or disabled; they were just 12 people who understood music composition about as well as you do.

Dude. Stop digging. You do NOT understand music. You’re free to enjoy it as you wish wish, of course, but please don’t endorse nine figure lawsuits because it “sounds the same!!!!” to your lay-as-fuck ear.

I’m a professional musician. The chord progression is the same but everything else like the melody (you clearly don’t even know what a melody is) is different. Phrasing is similar, (not the same) but that’s because that’s the type of phrasing that would compliment that sort of chord progression the best. That’s…

It really wasn’t. If it had been, existing law and precedent would have been sufficient to rule against Thicke/Williams.

No, it really wasn’t. It didn’t sample Gaye’s song or have the same melody. A few of the beats are similar, but that’s about it. I’m no fan of Thicke, but that judgment was a shambles.

No it wasn’t. Don’t be dense.

What a time to be alive! An embarassment of riches when it comes to godawful, indefensible legal precedent that will do damage for generations.

It’s a damn waste of an opportunity when someone hacks a public account like this and all they can go is DUR DUR DUR RACISM CUM DUR DUR. I want my pirated media to be sublimely strange.

If it’s a joke, then why put “Yes, I mean it” at the end. That kind of suggests they’re saying “If you think I’m joking, trust me – I’m not”.

A “joke” which ends “Yes, I mean it.” ?

Nope, too soon. It’s none of my business and I’m glad they’re all happy but all the hair stands on the back of my neck when this happens

You’ve got a cynical and inaccurate view of men.
