“Do the number, stand there, put your hands up in the air, let the circus perform around her — but don’t hump her twerk.”
Thicke, who will be honoured Saturday at the Canada’s Walk of Fame gala, wasn’t completely unimpressed with the controversial performance.
“On the maxim that there’s no such thing as bad publicity,” he said, “it certainly scored.”
