gigwise intern
15:00 15th May 2015

The parody we have been waiting Musician/comedian Weird Al Yankovic has taken on Robin Thicke and Pharrell's controversial hit 'Blurred Lines', which he has entitled 'Word Crimes'.

The singer took on the song during his recent gig at Planet Hollywood, where he highlighted the grammatical errors within pop music. The singer was clad in a stripy Beetlejuice-style suit throughout.

The song has received many setbacks in its existence, firstly a sexist claim, then a law-suit earlier this year which resulted in the writers having to pay up $7.4 million due to plagarism claims from Marvin Gaye's estate and now criticism regarding its grammatical errors.
