Robin Thicke Discovers His Dad Listens To His Music While Sexing

When you're a famous musician who make sexy songs, it's a given that people are getting it on to your tunes. However, Robin Thicke recently discovered something unexpected and a little disturbing: his 68-year-old dad has been getting freaky to his music.
Yes, Alan Thicke, the straight-laced father on Growing Pains, and the star of a Canadian-American mockmentary show called...Unusually Thicke, has been having sex with his wife, 40 year-old Tanya Callau, to one of Robin Thicke's songs.
"When we do get freaky, we love [Robin's song] 'Sex Therapy,'" Callou told Us Weekly. "You have to admit, it's a great song to get in the mood."
Alan Thicke muttered, "Getting sexy to your son's voice..." before trailing off. Maybe he suddenly became self-aware and realized that his son might say, "Gross, dad!" in utter disgust.
Robin Thicke did actually have something to say about it. He tweeted this out:
Dad, I heard what you said to @usweekly... I need you to give back all of my music. Immediately. @Alan_Thicke

We'd probably react the same way. Shudder.
