Lily Allen Makes Fun of Robin Thicke with Sexy Hip Hop Parody in 'Hard Out Here' [VIDEO]
Lily Allen released her new song "Hard Out Here" with a proudly feminist lyrics against sexism and misogyny in modern pop culture. Lily makes fun of Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" video with inflatables behind her saying "Lily Allen has a baggy pu**y." Robin's controversial video shows a woman dancing in front of inflatables saying "Robin Thicke has a big d**k." The new single details in its video the challenges young women go through in a post-Kardashian sex tape generation.
The track begins with Lily in theatre getting liposuction on an operating table while doctors tell her she let herself go after having two children. Lily also used the word "b*tch" in the chorus saying it over and over again. The song features the lines "forget your balls and grow a pair of t*ts, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard out there for a b*tch," which can be a spoof to the Three 6 Mafia rap track.
Lily had to get back in shape for a pop career after she temporarily retired to launch a fashion business and focus on her children. The video shows an actor playing her agent, asking "how did someone let themselves get like this, huh?" To which Lily responded with, "Erm, I had two babies." The video then shows Lily talking about female sexuality and body image, saying "I don't need to shake my a** for you because I've got a brain." She dances with women, parading around a gold kitchen with gold bars and champagne.
Lily Allen is back with her usual glossy hair and slim body, wearing red and black outfits. Her video comes in a time when portrayal of women in music videos heightens concerns. Annie Lennox's music videos were recently age-rated because of increased sexual images, while Miley Cyrus got a lot of attention with her naked video for "Wrecking Ball." Robin Thicke also featured topless models dancing in his video for "Blurred Lines" and singer Charlotte Church highlighted the sexism in the music industry as well.
The "Hard Out There" video must have garnered complaints already because Lilly just recently tweeted, "Oh Lawd. Soz Ofcom." Ofcom is an independent competition and regulator authority for UK advertisements, videos and other media channels.
