The Auckland Law Revue has released its latest comedy video - and this time they're using a hit from Lorde taking on a hot button topic.

The Auckland University law students have used Lorde's Green Light to parody Auckland's problems with traffic jams and congested roads.

"I look up on Google Maps to find the fastest route / It says traffic's looking light / It's a damned liar," sings the aspiring comedy troupe.

"Those T2 lanes are useless / Full of parked cars ... Maybe I should just fill the front seat / And drive with a life-size doll / Need a life-size doll."

The video features the students dancing in a traffic jam,

Feedback on the song has been positive so far, with one viewer writing: "I'm sure Lorde would agree with every word you sang!"

It's not the first time they've parodied Lorde, turning Royals into a tribute to law students called Lawyers in 2013.

Other songs parodied by the Revue include Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines, Justin Bieber's Sorry, and Rihanna's Work.
