Toronto plastic surgeon painfully parodies The Weeknd's 'Can't Feel My Face'

by Jesse Locke

In a world where the Nova Scotia RCMP can parody Drake’s “Hotline Bling” with new lyrics about road safety, this plastic surgeon slicing up another hit song from Toronto is equally painful.

Dr. Cory Torgerson, self-described as “one of Canada’s most talented and prominent cosmetic plastic surgeons, focusing on head, neck, and facial plastic surgery”, is the unlikely source behind a new send-up of The Weeknd’s inescapable 2015 hit “Can’t Feel My Face.”

In a slick music video following patients before, during, and after cosmetic procedures, they lip sync updated lyrics like “the Botox keeps me beautiful, I’ll stay forever young” and “all the misery was necessary when your nose is done.”

Dr. Torgerson enlisted the help of director Claudette Omrin, who has previously helmed videos for artists like Selena Gomez, Jamie Foxx, and Robin Thicke (so it makes sense if the creepy vibes here remind you of “Blurred Lines”). Lenny Len, a celebrity choreographer whose credits include Rihanna and Ne-Yo, apparently helped out with the stiff dance moves and jazz hands.

This is the 2016 equivalent of those Alice Deejay parody Canadian computer commercials asking buyers “Do you think you really want a clone?” (“NO WAY!) Sadly, it’s probably going to stick in your head for just as long. Watch below:
