Must-see morning clip: Robin Thicke performs "Blurred Lines" with the Roots

The instruments of choice: Children's toys

Published August 2, 2013 1:03PM (EDT)

Jimmy Fallon has found a way to make Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" palatable to even the staunchest critics: have the Roots perform it with kids' toys. You can listen to it almost guilt-free, until you think about how creepy it is for a song with "rapey lyrics" to be performed with elementary school instruments.
