Instead of simply telling basketball fans in attendance not to throw objects or use obscene gestures, the Atlanta Hawks decided to sing it to them. But that's using the word "sing" rather loosely.

The Hawks put yet another parody twist on Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" song and video by overloading the senses with Autotune in order to remind fans of what is and is not acceptable behavior at an NBA game.

"OK, now here's a word / do use your best behavior/ Don't be an animal / or you could be arrested"

If this is the future of informational videos at sporting events, buy all the stock you can in Autotune providers … because, apparently, it's here to stay and it's enough to make you want to behave yourself at a basketball game. Prepare yourself:








 

And yes, in case you didn't make it to the final 15 seconds, the banner "Harry The Hawk Has A Big Beak" certainly does make the cut.
