Robin Thicke's controversial hit single, 'Blurred Lines', has been banned from UK's Edinburgh University.

Edinburgh University Students' Association (EUSA) has said that the song, which topped the charts in several countries, violates the campus' "End Rape Culture and Lad Banter on Campus" policy, reported Ace Showbiz.

"The decision to ban 'Blurred Lines' from our venues has been taken as it promotes an unhealthy attitude towards sex and consent," EUSA vice president Kirsty Haigh said in a statement.

"EUSA has a policy on zero tolerance towards sexual harassment, a policy to end lad culture on campus and a safe space policy - all of which this song violates," Haigh added.
 

Thicke's summer party anthem has been under the spotlight for its controversial lyrics and topless woman-filled music video.
