Seattle based boylesque troupe Mod Carousel nailed it in their role-reversal video of pop song “Blurred Lines” (the song is analyzed really well in Scarleteen’s There are no “Blurred Lines” when it comes to consent). The video [Robin Thicke ‘Blurred Lines’ sexy boys parody by Mod Carousel] serves a healthy heaping of male cheesecake in its tongue-in-cheek commentary on a song that celebrates ambiguous female sexual consent.
You can download the song on Mod Carousel’s soundcloud page and lyrics are on the video’s YouTube page. Credits:
- Robin Thicke: Caela Bailey
- Pharrell: Sydni Deveraux
- T.I.: Dalisha Phillips
- Mod Carousel Boys: Trojan Original, Paris Original, the Luminous Pariah
This is an impressive parody…although the Thicke “original” seemed like a parody itself, of Marvin Gaye.
