sux2bu2day he said back then that he wouldn't cut his hair until he finally made it. That's why it was so long when he made this video. The short style that people are used to was the way he always wore it before this period of his career and he returned to it once he reached his goal.
That's what happens when mainstream media and society take over your soul and turn you into 1 of them instead of leaving you alone to be your own unique person
This song LITERALLY popped into my head today. Took me an hour to find it as I was 6 when it came out and obviously heard it a few times during the years after. Good vibes!!!!!!
The radio channel I usually listen to had a crossover with a classic channel from the same company and Beethoven's fifth came on and it got me thinking of this song again. Drove me nuts all day at work that I couldn't find anything but the original piece from Walter Murphy. Then, just when I was about to sleep, some random lyrics popped in my head and now I finally have some inner peace 😂
This song takes me back to getting ready for high school and watching MTV/VH1 in the morning for music videos. To think that Lost Without You would be the next hit (that I remember) to come out by him is mind blowing because I didn’t put the two together for years. Genius transition from Pop/Soul to RnB/Pop. Def one of my favorite songs and artists.
I was in HS when this dropped. I remember hearing it and loving it! Then I saw who sang it and I was completely shocked. He looked like someone from the grunge rock scene singing R&B. So dope! Long time supporter of this dude even in the midst of his personal life. Great voice!
Steph H I was 14 in 03 but I remember the sprite commercial with this song. The only thing is I felt this song was much older than 03 more so Year 2000.
Dude I always loved this song. Never knew who this guy was. And thought he died out. After seeing the sprite commercial. Little did I know it was ROBIN THICKE. His album was called thicke. Mind was blown. This whole time i didn't know
I remember when a guy who looked like this came up to me in a mall in indiana and handed me this single... Still have it in my cds. Always wondered if it was Robin Thicke himself.
The same, but the music video and his image gave me an immediate major "one hit wonder" vibe. Sorry to say it, but image and attitude is vey important in the industry. I was surprised when he released his second LP, but then I knew he was going to be big, cause his image had changed and he had signed to Star Trek/Pharrell.
When I first heard this song and saw the video I thought Robin Thicke was auditioning for the Broadway revival of Jesus Christ Superstar. No lie, I mean he's got the pipes for it, so I thought, "I'd watch him on Broadway"
@@markyancey3086 Actually he was signed to Motown through Harrell Entertainment....he was the first act that Andre signed when he left Uptown to run Motown in the early 2000's!
Remember when he only went by Thicke lol! Rocked this joint out! Loved the video concept too! Shout out to all the bike messengers out there. Eyes open n ride safe y'all! 🙏🤘✌️
You really do need to believe in love unless of course you dont care what love says and then you'll get off your ass and respond to this comment not caring what love says and brave enough to say it
4 years I could never remember who did this song or the name of it. Imagine my surprise when stumbling through robin thick's songs and I see this video. Its a gem.
I have played this track and watched this video a million times over the years (GET A LIFE) I know... but this track is such a part of my memory with the video. It's just electrifying... I will always love Robin Thicke for this track...
I remember listening to this virtually on repeat for several days solid, this and the likes of the later 'Get Lucky' by Daft Punk are two nostalgia filled tunes and remind me of far better times in life.
This song was and still is DA BOMB! The first time I had heard of Robin. I remember seeing this video and buying the CD. I still have it to this day. BLUE EYED SOUL as it's FINEST!!!
I came here after watching a video by Sloan.. I've got to say tho This song is amazing! I can't see why it didn't become a big hit. Things might have been different.
A true artist, his talent and sheer joy just oozes on this track and there's so much to appreciate! Am blown away by the vocal confidence, drive, tones, command of tempo and lyrical punch-he totally K.O. owns it! That voice..those strings..that bass..those drums!! And this at the start of his recording career no less! Pure boogie-on-down track..so utterly addictive and in my humble estimation..a sleeping masterpiece! Re the video..so left-field and ahead of the game..he's just soaking it all in and loving it!!
I'm so glad the official music video for this song is finally on RUclips. Best Thicke song ever! I still remember the first time I saw this video on MTV back when it first dropped. Excellent video concept for an excellent song. Super old school. I miss that hair!
Dammit I just listened to this song 8 times and still haven't gotten enough of it. Oh well I just keep replaying it then. Thanks Robin Thicke - Your music is energizingly awesome!!
This song has been an ear worm of mine for over 20 years. I saw the video back in the day but could never remember the song name or the singer. I’ve obsessed over trying to rediscover it. Today, I finally found it again and was shocked when I found out this was ROBIN THICKE the whole time WTF 🤯
Omg, so I have been living under a rock all these years and never made the connection that this song was by Robin Thicke! This came out towards the end of my high school days, I remember the clip, really enjoyed the song but yeah...hahaha wow, mind blown 🤯🤯🤯 Massive image reinvention!
Seeing wanker written here in the comments cracked me up! UK and Australia, we know how to insult 😂 Agreed though, he did indeed turn into a right tool. Shame as this song is still utterly superb.
Well artists have to change their sound overtime. Asking them not to is like asking them not to evolve or grow creatively. This song came out in 2003, you don’t want him to develop his character in 19 years?… I hate how ignorant you non-creative mfs are smh.
This song is still a BOP for me. I remember I used to try to put people on to this song & Robin but they were not feeling me😅 But look at Robin now lol
Yes ! I remember reading about you in VIBE magazine when you first came out as a singer and it took forever for this album to hit the shelves . I remember that the original title of the album was gonna be Cherry Blue Skies ! God, i need a life.
This song for all of us who did cool stuff racing around town on a bike and had the tunes going..it takes a special kind of courage to do that so mad respect to all my brothers and sisters. Put me down for riding with this song going. ha ha.... Like if you saw us. Comment if you did it..
I remember when this came out and i first heard it on 106 and park. It made the top 10 and i couldnt wait to get home from school to see if he made number 1. Love this song.
This song is seriously underrated. Absolute banger. It’s aged really well imo.
Yesss! This song was AND STILL 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely. ❤
A GEM this song made me a fan
Because Beethoven was a genius 🤓
Absolutely awesome 👍🏽😎
I hate that people forgot that THIS was Robin's first single.
lol right just asked my sister and she said she doesn’t remember
I forgot until he first started singing. I even remember the lyrics 😂
@@shesinsports😊
Wow!?!😬Hate??!!
One thing that stands out to me is how happy he was.
Kind of sad. He was still with Paula during this time I think. I wish they will get back together.
He was young and naïve even his hair was longer.
young creative and unspoiled ;)
He was constantly thinking that his dad is Alan Thicke and that kept him smiling through out the video.
@@bullet31💀💀🤣🤣🤣
I miss this version of Robin Thicke💕
Whoever threw that Beethoven in there is a complete genius! Still jammin this in 2024, song is severely underrated imo❤
This blows my mind how I used to bump this when it first dropped.
Not paying attention to the artist name.
It randomly popped up in my head right now...
I search for the song and....I had no idea it was Robin Thicke smh
It’s actually “a fifth of Beethoven” by Walter Murphy.
ruclips.net/video/0ouMaLRth-s/видео.htmlsi=BL2IQved8fZIVT3p
Nope
Tell me about it! This song didn’t get anywhere near enough recognition
He was so smooth in this. He wasn’t even trying. ❤
🗣 IM NOT LEAVING!! TILL YOURE LEAVING!!
When Robin thicke was hungry 💪🏼💪🏼
😂😂😂
Facts
Maaan. I hear elements of Michael, Prince, Jagger, 70s Funk, Disco, and obviously Classical, Beethoven
I heard a little bit of Jamiroquai like style
@@BlackEagle510and a little JT
I miss this NYC. I miss this era period.
When America truly was the greatest country in the world. Now they are lucky to be top 10
The same as me
Same
I was a bartender in NYC when this album dropped and I played it all the time in the bar. Good times.
Lol Amerikkka was never great@@Tom-yu9if
I miss this thicke. one of my favorite song he ever did
This was and still is my jam
Same..omg I so remember this summer.
LeaLe Novak he meant when this was his element.
Indeed!!! This was doooooope!! 90s style. Using his natural voice, no falsetto on the entire song.
So right me too!
This got tons of play overseas, not sure why it fell on deaf ears in the states. Such an incredible tune.
Huge in 🇦🇺 I loved it bought the CD back in highschool
it was like something from jamiroquai...they just weren't ready. LOL
Not in the UK it didn't. Never got played here.
@@silvershadow7655 It was always on MTV at the time but no, not on the radio that I recall
When I heard this, I remember thinking this singer has potential...
Sooooooo underrated ...this song is straight soul
Mikal Black Look up “A Fifth of Beethoven” by Walter Murphy. That song came out in the 70’s.
This song is not straight soul, it's fake soul, but a nice song. You have no clue what real soul music is.
And that's TRUTH! 👍🏻
watery black pepper gravy powder. Just Add water and stir. This is not soul, sorry not sorry, to awake you from your "white soul music" dream 🙄
@@HumanBeFly BITCH! its not a dream and if it was WHY IS yo ass here??? Move around with your ignorant bland opinion!!
Only Robin Thicke can put a spin on fifth of Beethoven and make it timeless. When I get you alone
See this is still what I think of when I think of Robin Thicke. I was OBSESSED with this song.
Me too!!
Yup still 2024❤❤
I remember when this song came out. Totally different image and persona than the Robin Thicke we’ve come to know.
sux2bu2day he said back then that he wouldn't cut his hair until he finally made it. That's why it was so long when he made this video. The short style that people are used to was the way he always wore it before this period of his career and he returned to it once he reached his goal.
That's what happens when mainstream media and society take over your soul and turn you into 1 of them instead of leaving you alone to be your own unique person
This is 2018...and I never ever knew it was the same person.
Appearance is everything in showbiz...he is a talented man regardless of his looks.
He still dope. Still makes dope music.
I love the fact that back in the day it was not about looks and fashion it was about attitude
lisa delbois lol 2003 was very much about looks and fashion.
But he LOOKED better back then. Fashion and grooming is ugly as hell now.
Yeah cos he's really ugly and doesn't dress at all like a 90's pop star
Ummm, Robin was fine as hell back then...and still is! Plus, this wasn’t that long ago. You must be hella young.
he was even a prancer 'back in the day'
We were robbed of shaggy haired, slapping sample, bike ridin', surfer dude style thickie!!!!
Predatory suave thicke never hit right cos its not him 😂
He should’ve kept this style.
You’re right, we were robbed.
The real Thicke. The Thicke we loved 💞

Omg yes.same with me.i miss this guy
Same
Heard it first on Glee , by Blaine, ( Darren Criss ) , wanted to see who sang original. Never knew would be Thicke
Believe it or not the track was a cover of a 70's song who obviously covered Beethoven.

Genius transition from Pop/Soul to RnB/Pop. Def one of my favorite songs and artists.
Me too I was senior when this came out
Yes getting ready fa school mtv/ VH1 memories mann 🥹😔
Me either absolutely loved this song in high school never realized it was him ! 🎉
I forgot how much I loved this song

I bought this CD in highschool too. Reminded me how moby and all that grunge music would be the opposite of glam. Relatable music vids. Anyway
I always thought this song had a kind of a Michael Jackson vibe to it. Even the way he moves in this video is very Michael Jackson
I was about 18 when this came out.. And he was in a Sprite commercial with this song
Steph H I was 14 in 03 but I remember the sprite commercial with this song. The only thing is I felt this song was much older than 03 more so Year 2000.
Me too very shocked what the singer looked like

Karim Jovian Vlogs wowsame didn’t realise and I love this song
I think this song is from his "Cherry Blue Sky" album.
@@ratbatnufftime2861 It's from his debut, "A Beautiful World".
It's called "A Beautiful World", not "Thicke".
I heard this song on the radio. I always wondered who it was.
I liked this hungry Robin Thicke, He went all in.
Avslappnande Ljud Att Sova Till So True. I don’t know what happened to him other than maybe the fame going to his head.
Avslappnande Ljud Att Sova Till this whole album was fire 🔥 but no one knows 😩
Avslappnande Ljud Att Sova Till 🙌🙌
This album didn’t sell though, he tried something else and it worked
I do too liked this one much better!
When this debuted I thought, damn blue eyed soul sound!!! And Timberlake had some competition. Still a bop in 2024!!!!
I played the ish outta this when it came out. I still do! Go head’ Robin… go head’!!
I remember when a guy who looked like this came up to me in a mall in indiana and handed me this single... Still have it in my cds. Always wondered if it was Robin Thicke himself.
OMG!
It was him.
Lmao. 😂it was
Can’t believe this is my first time hearing this song, or seeing Robin with long hair and not dressed up. Love this song
Mine was today😮❤😂
"You change keep your toys in the drawer tonight" Lmfao! !!!
I'm there with you rocking this music in 2024.
Woah...Haven't heard this in years!! What a jam! 🔥🔥🔥
this slaps harder than anything else in his entire discography
It slaps harder than 90% of what's out there nowadays.
Facts!
Agreed
@@MickMcGarnackle agree again
I’m a kid born in the 2000s and I listen to 70s/80s/90s music and I always have, due to me really not liking the music of today
*Thicke* with long _fabulous_ hair
This is timeless. I was like 10 when this came out and it never stops playing in my head. Seriously.
Bruh, you were 7
@@powderedphantom5765 🤣LOL
Oh just LOVE Thicke's hair...😍.
Sure wish he'd grow it out again...🤩🤩🤩!
I remember back in 00s this was such a hit... today in 2022, 20 years later I finally found it!!
"You can leave your toys in the drawer tonight" lol
😂😂❤❤ yes I was like Wwwaaaaaattttt lol
I’m 34 now. This song still makes me feel the way it did when I first heard it...
How did he not reach his 2013 fame level with this song? This song is so much better and far less insulting to women than Blurred Lines.
I never understood it either. I remember when this came out and I would jam to it but nobody else seemed to catch onto it
This was way before blurred lines; about a decade.
Omg lol so PC
Oh my God, can you shut up! women are insulting to men all the time... we live in a free country.

Young, talented, handsome and absolutely adorable. This song is an absolute classic, pun intended lol
Did y'all see Andre Harrell having roses delivered? Rest In Paradise Big Bro👑💪🏽!!!!
