Ridiculous.  $7.5 MILLION because something "reminds" you of something else?I could stop there, but i'll give just a bit more context and information.Disclaimer - I don't like Blurred Lines.  The Sears boys aren't allowed to listen to it.  From what I've seen of the video, it's tasteless.  But Pharrell made me happy with Happy - so...Blurred lines is in the key of G.  The tempo is about 118-120 BPM.  The chord progression is I, to V, and back to I.  And quite frankly - Pharrell sounds like Prince....  Maybe Prince should sue?Got to Give It is in the key of A.  The…

I've been working on mixing down some tracks for a new worship album.  These are just a few i'm playing with.  You can also find these over on my AUDIO CLIPS page - which had some tragic errors in it - all should now be fixed with song titles pointing to correct tracks.Strongerhttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/87743143/JS%20Blog/Site/Flash_Stuff_files/player.swfForever Reignhttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/87743143/JS%20Blog/Site/Flash_Stuff_files/player.swfHow He Loveshttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/87743143/JS%20Blog/Site/Flash_Stuff_files/player.swfHosanna Hillsong)http://dl.dropbox.com/u/87743143/JS%20Blog/Site/Flash_Stuff_files/player.swfRevelation Song (Acoustic)http://dl.dropbox.com/u/87743143/JS%20Blog/Site/Flash_Stuff_files/player.swf
