This is “Weird Al” Yankovic’s parody of Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” called “Word Crimes“. It is from his fourteenth studio album, Mandatory Fun (2014). The original 2013 single, featured T.I. and Pharrell Williams. The song is a great spoof of the misuse of proper English grammar and usage, reflecting Yankovic’s own lyrical rigor.
