After defeating Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams in court over the song “Blurred Lines,” the family of Marvin Gaye could be looking to bully Williams a little bit more for his paper. In a report from CBS News, Marvin’s daughter Nona said that she thought Pharrell’s smash hit “Happy” had some resemblance to Gaye’s “Ain’t That Peculiar.” “I’m not gonna lie. I think they do sound alike,” she said in a statement to CBS. However, the family isn’t looking to take any legal action about it after their $7.4 million win earlier this week. Pharrell can breathe a happy sigh of relief, for now.
