Robin Thicke's"Blurred Lines" has already broken records and now its creating more attention for allegedly sounding too much like Marvin Gaye's "Got To Give It Up."
Here is a recap just in case you missed it:
Last week Gaye's family and Bridgeport Records' claims Thicke new hit single sounds similar to Gaye's Got To Give It Up and is demanding financial compensation for copyright infringement.
On Thursday, an attorney for Thicke and collaborators Williams and Clifford Harris Jr filed a lawsuit asking a federal judge to determine that their song Blurred Lines does not copy elements from the classic.
"Gaye defendants are claiming ownership of an entire genre, (really) according to the lawsuit.
A copy of the suit obtained by The Hollywood Reporter reads:
"Plaintiffs, who have the utmost respect for and admiration of Marvin Gaye, Funkadelic and their musical legacies, reluctantly file this action in the face of multiple adverse claims from alleged successors in interest to those artists. Defendants continue to insist that plaintiffs' massively successful composition, 'Blurred Lines,' copies 'their' compositions."
