Pharrell Williams defends 'Blurred Lines', says he was intimate with a sheep

Pharrell Williams has once again defended his lyrics and conduct on 'Blurred Lines', stating that the song isn't not offensive to women and that in the video the only thing he touched intimately was a sheep. 

The singer was the subject of a grilling courtesy of Channel 4 News and reporter Krishnan Guru-Murthy, who challenged the sexual politics of 'Blurred Lines'. Referring to the track, Murthy brought Pharrell's lyrics on the track into question, meanwhile Pharrell denied that they undermined "a woman's right to say no".

Refferring to the line "I Know You Want It", Pharrell said: "Is it sexually suggestive when a car salesman says to a person who's trying to buy a car, 'I know you want it'? If I can tell you're hungry and I say, 'I know you want it', does that mean I'm going to rape you?"

During the interview, Pharrell went on to defend the video, which ended up being just as controversial as the lyrics. To Murthy's challenge that the video featured women there just "to please" men, Pharrell responded that the female director was inspired by high fashion. He also added: "The only person that I really touched in a close way was a sheep." 

During the interview Pharrell also addressed the concept of feminism, saying: "I've been asked, 'Am I a feminist?' I don't think it's possible for me to be that." Guru Murthy challenged this by saying that it is possible for a man to be a feminist, to which Pharrel responded that it "makes sense up to a certain point". He added that he does support feminists.
