Also includes extreme, no-holds barred close-ups of fish. Not remotely explicit, but boundary-probing in a way, in that it features two teenage boys kissing (5.24) – and makes it look epic and romantic, rather than playing it for shock value. What next, a warning at the start of ‘Thriller’ reassuring viewers that it’s not the actual exhumed corpse of Jacko dancing around like that? Supposedly, MTV would only show it with an introduction from Jay-Z himself explaining that it was a metaphorical death, not a real one. Our hero gets gunned down in the final sequence. Where are all the mime artists and blokes cycling past wearing stripy jumpers carrying baguettes.
Supposedly ‘hard-hitting’ and ‘gritty’, but it doesn’t look much like Paris to me. It’s essentially ‘The Wicker Man’ as re-enacted by readers of Nylon magazine. There’s some sinister stuff involving a dead dog and some spooky-looking children, culminating with a boy cajoling a girl into chopping off his hand. None of it’s as entertaining as David Cross’ cameo as the clueless DJ, though. A feel-good classic.ĭirected by Jonas Åkerlund (of ‘Smack My Bitch Up’ fame), so we shouldn’t be surprised that it features close-up footage of a cock (and I don’t mean singer Til Lindemann).ĭrunken texting, vomiting on the pavement, gay fumbling in a toilet cubicle – it’s basically the average indie fan’s night on the town. In this snuff movie-esque clip, vaguely reminiscent of an episode of ‘Sexcetera’ gone wrong, a masochist is strapped, naked, to a metal torture device which slowly drills into his flesh before ultimately ripping his insides out, draining his blood for use as garden fertilizer.
This video has it all: a woman in a nappy grappling with a sumo wrestler, an oiled-up fat bloke, and a man in a horse mask waving his bum at the camera. Pretty much like a Vice magazine cover shoot, then.
And, if we're being honest, we have spent hours watching that (and we still love you, Fergie).Not massively explicit, it’s true, but at one point there’s a grainy shot of a rail-thin hipster with his balls hanging out. You could spend hours watching gorgeous celebrities pour suspiciously watery milk on their Spandex-bound bodies (we still love you, Fergie!).

For that, we can thank trailblazers like Prince and Madonna, who established the right to show a little skin in music videos like "Kiss" and "Express Yourself." MTV deserves its share of credit-can anybody ever forget their first time watching t.A.T.u.'s music video for "All The Things She Said"?-but then YouTube blew up, and suddenly you could watch any steamy music video any time you wanted. It became a sort of guilty pleasure, listening to a great song while watching a hot person do hot-person things like make out with someone equally good-looking, move their hips like no one was watching, and wear an outfit so tight you wonder how they got it on in the first place.
Sometimes, a song is so steamy, the only logical next step is a super-sexy music video.
