Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" is one of the hottest, and controversial, songs of the summer. But the Canadian R&B crooner has a fan of the song in Mayor Emanuel. Here's video of Emanuel dancing during Thicke's Taste of Chicago performance. And by "dancing," we mean engaging in mild frottage with a chair at the Petrillo Band Shell.

Emanuel has some smooth moves. We like how he removed his tie and tucked it into the back pocket of his slacks with little wasted motion. And he even engaged in conversation with a bro briefly. But if he's dancing to "Blurred Lines," how controversial can the song be, really?

Update:Now with humping GIF action.
