Jimmy Kimmel Spoofs Robin Thicke 'Blurred Lines' [VIDEO]
Days after the song became No. 1 on the Billboard charts, Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines is already becoming the subject of parody.
The singer appeared with the song's featured artist Pharrell Williams as the musical guests on Thursday's Jimmy Kimmel Live, and the two were subjected to a send-up of the sexy and controversial video featuring Kimmel and his TV sidekick Guillermo.
The original video featured Thicke and Williams singing alongside three scantily-clad models dancing. In the Kimmel version, however, the host is dressed like the singer in a black suit and open white shirt walking awkwardly into the shots as Thicke tries to get shift to camera to cut him out. Guillermo can be seen in a shiny gold tracksuit like Williams' busting out moves in the background.
The two also fool around with some of the elements in the video, including turning a set of silver balloons that spell out the singer's last name into rather vulgar word. The video ends with Williams simulating taking a chair to the TV host's head, while his sidekick continues dancing.
Thicke and Williams have been subject to a bit of stage bum rushing at recent performances they've done of the chart-topping song.
On Wednesday, singer and recent twerking enthusiast Miley Cyrus came up on stage while Thicke and Williams performance at the party celebrating the relaunch of website Myspace; Cyrus danced and sang along as the crowd, including Myspace's co-owner Justin Timberlake, cheered her on.
Last week, when the pair performed the song on British late night program The Graham Norton Show, their fellow guest, Nashville star Hayden Panettiere was egged on to join them.
The actress told Twitter, "Only @Pharrell could get my butt on stage... I guess they needed some height contrast," sharing a photo of herself on stage with the singers and two leggy models.
She also added, "Attempting to drop it like it's hot...emphasis on 'Attempting.'"
Thicke's new album, also named Blurred Lines, will be released on July 30.
