Robin Thicke's summer hit "Blurred Lines" has been banned from five U.K. universities' campus bars.
London's Kingston University and campuses in Leed, Derby, Edinburgh and West Scotland have banned the song, Radio.com reports.
University of Derby Students' Union President Hollie O'Connor said, "the song hugely objectifies women and excuses rape culture."
"It is a man suggesting that there are 'blurred lines' when it comes to sexual consent and that is unacceptable. We felt we needed to take a stand."
O'Connor told NBC News that there hasn't been any e-mails of complaints after banning the song.
O'Connor said, "If I had 1,000 students in one of our bars and only 10 percent felt uncomfortable with the song being played, then we'd have failed them."
Education officer at Leeds student's union, Alice Smart, said "Blurred Lines" was chosen "due to its commercial success and the recent negative publicity surrounding it."
Radio.com notes this isn't the first time the song has been picked on for its lyrics. Lisa Huynh of Feminist In L.A. wrote, "has anyone heard Robin Thicke's new rape song?"
“Basically, the majority of the song (creepily named ‘Blurred Lines’) has the R&B singer murmuring, ‘I know you want it’ over and over into a girl’s ear. Call me a cynic, but that phrase does not exactly encompass the notion of consent in sexual activity," Huynh added.
