Robin Thicke claims people in power in the UK don't understand his controversial hit, 'Blurred Lines', but he doesn't mind because his young fans do.
One of the biggest hits of the year, the song has caused controversy and raised heckles since its release. The track has been banned by a number of universities during the summer, and more recently, an advertising campaign featuring the track was deemed unsuitable to broadcast before 7:30pm in the UK. Now, Thicke has revealed that he believes people simply don't understand the song.
"I don't think people got it out here [in the UK] in those positions of power," said Thicke in an interview with 1Xtra. "I think the kids get it... I just have to deal with that."
"I wrote it [Blurred Lines] about my wife," he added, speaking of actress Paula Patton. "She's my good girl. And I know she wants it because we've been together for 20 years."

The advert banned this week is for Beats Pill speakers, and shows Thicke with three female models, dressed in see-through outfits, dance suggestively with Dr. Dre's new music product as Thicke croons 'Blurred Lines' - already infamous for its questionable and controversial lyrics.
Contactmusic reports that almost 100 viewers have complained to the Advertising Standards Authority, claiming that the ad is 'sexist and degrading to women', while others found it unsuitable to be broadcast during daytime before the watershed.
