To think "Blurred Lines" advocates rape is taking things a bit too seriously, IMHO. It's popular because it has a catchy tune and a very danceable beat, despite the fact that the lyrics have obvious sexual overtones.
What if the response to "You know you want it" is simply "Not tonight, Dear", and that's the end of the story?
No coercion involved.
I agree, it's all in the interpretation. How kids interpret may be totally different then how our generation does. Sometimes it's just rebellious and not serious. I personally don't like the Rap and what I consider raunchy lyrics. So I don't listen to it.
