Ponder This: Blurred Lines messages stir more responses, parody refocuses issues within song.
#everybigotstandup #undermine # are just a few of the hashtags used by Law Revue Girls to drive their points home with the audience. Their sending a message back to society that the messages in the song they parody are not in congruence with any of theirs nor should they be. Society's tolerance, or acceptance allows Blurred Lines and many other songs like it to gain and grow in popularity keeping things at what seem like a stand shrill
If you managed to miss the spark behind Law Revue Girls' video here is the original music video of Robin Thick's song. If you can believe it there's even an unrated version of this video on Vevo... As if he needed any more help furthering a bad message about rape culture, the same actresses appear topless in nude thongs except for the one woman whom is not of explicitly Caucasian decent. Though she appears topless still for most of the video she is in a black thong not just the same nude ones the other women are wearing.
Food for Thought/Extras:
What other song(s) should Law Revue Girls create a parody of to reditrect the focus of its message?Why?
There are many more parodys on the internet of this song. A quick YouTube search and you can browse until your heart's content.
