Blurred Lines is absolutely foul. The objectifying of women's bodies that goes on in the video, the lyrics that LITERALLY talk about the ~blurred lines~ of consent... And the fact that a song with such awful content could be kept at number one on the charts for long periods of time in multiple countries by people streaming and buying it? Ugh, just thinking about it makes me mad.

Have you seen the parody with a female group singing about a boy? Hilarious. Even has boys in booty shorts and heels, dancing.

And I don't think I've seen that particular video, but I've seen a few of guys dancing in heels to Beyoncé and Lady Gaga- oh to have such talent! Compared to them, I'm a toddler in a pair of my mother's shoes!

Bekka Bramlett did that on "Nothing Without You" on the "Time" album. It originally appeared on Delaney Bramlett's "Giving Birth To A Song" album twenty years earlier. She changed the line "'Cause I'm such a lucky man" to "'Cause I hold the winning hand" and got a songwriting credit.
BTW, where a song has two co-writers, the writer of the lyrics/melody usually gets 75%, while the writer who comes up with the chord progression gets 25%. On those songs, the writer of the lyrics/melody usually gets first credit. Of course, there are exceptions, most notably "Yesterday," where John Lennon really had nothing to do with the song.

It was probably a lump sum payment, kind of like winning the lottery. Christine is the wealthiest British female musician of all time. She probably has enough money to last 10 lifetimes. Once you have that much money, it's self-sustained through investments and you basically live off the interest.

Also with "Give Peace A Chance" where Paul McCartney is listed as co-writer but had nothing to do with the song at all. (other than playing it once in concert in 1988 as part of a John Lennon tribute medley with "Help!" & "Strawberry Fields Forever"), John just happened to write it while the songwriting partnership was still under contract (back when anything either of them wrote was credited to Lennon/McCartney regardless of whether the other one had any input or not).

I have a vivid memory of an article in Billboard that said she sold the rights for a paltry 5 million. Somewhere in the 90's. But I cannot find a single article online about it. I know it was a very low number. Maybe 5. 7. Or 8. Not double digits. I recall thinking I could have ganged up with a few friends and bought her songs. It was not a big number. I was horrified.

I believe Annie Lennox is listed as the most wealthy female British entertainer -- and I believe that. She co-wrote everything the Eurythmics did and they hit the UK top ten twice as often as Fleetwood Mac did in the 80s.

Yes, though I'm sure she's well off, I doubt that Christine is the richest anything.
