Racy/controversial 80s videos (NSFW probably)

This thread is not intended to offend but, hell, it might.

When music video was still a relatively new medium, there were still many visuals that seemed to be testing the censors. Some sneaked past, some didn't.

From 1984:

Malcolm Mclaren - Madam Butterfly

Some videos I actually find more alarming in retrospect.

In this one, the image switches from shots of the singer swiping a knife to parts of a woman's body like her neck.. WTF! I'm pretty sure it was shown heavily though.

Frankie Goes To Hollywood = Relax (original version)



Apparently, this very overt homoerotic version was too risque for American audiences in the 1980's.

I saw it actually in the 90s when Muchmusic was having one of their 1980s weekend marathons of playing only 80s vids.

Has anyone done an all-nineties weekend yet?

This song is from the summer of 1984.Back in the day,they showed a PG-rated version of this video,with no nudity at all.It was only recently that I saw this steamy,erotic version....lol....apparently it was only shown on the Playboy Channel,which I never had back then.
