The parody video was published on YouTube on Friday, August 30, and has already received over 500,000 as of September 3.
Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” song has not only topped the charts in the United States, but also in Australia, Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The original music video has received a lot of negative feedback from critics and viewers, believing the message is blurring the lines between consensual and non-consensual sex.
In reference to the original “Blurred Lines” video, the singers and producer of the parody video explain: “We understand that it is a common theme in the media for particular men to have videos with women frolicking around and stuff like that. But the attitude of the whole thing came across to us as being quite arrogant, especially with the issue of consent, some of his lyrics were quite questionable and a bit presumptive.”
