Here's a "Blurred Lines" parody video that takes the misogyny and sexism of Robin Thicke's ripoff of Marvin Gaye and flips it around, courtesy of people who routinely defy gender stereotypes.

A group of Chicago drag queens dress up in their barely theres and prance to the summer's most persistent earworm. Drag queen Shea Couleé told DNAInfo Chicago, "So many people were up in arms saying they were objectifying these women, so we wanted to take our own spin on it as drag queens: so we decided we're just gonna objectify all of ourselves.

"Nobody knows more about blurred lines than us."

Director Lucy "Dusty Bahls" Wieczorek added, "There's nothing wrong with [objectification]. It happens; it's something that we all do as humans. So we were like, let's just make light of it, and objectify everybody... We're equal opportunity when it comes to objectification."

Let's see Mayor Emanuel dry hump a chair to this video.
