The 50 Most Shocking Music Videos Ever!

Censored, controversial, banned and sickening music videos...

 

  • 39. Frankie Goes To Hollywood: 'Relax' - The provocative song lyrics for the Liverpool band's 1983 debut hit were deemed far too racy for the BBC. The accompanying video just compounded this. Set in an ultra cliched gay club complete with S&M men, the video reaches a climax (so to speak) when Holly Johnson sings 'when you're gonna come' and he is duly showered in a cream spray.

On a month when Britney Spears and Hilary Duff have got naked for music videos in a bid to grab media attention, Gigwise is presenting an ultimate countdown of the 50 most controversial music videos. Don't believe anyone when they tell you that The Prodigy's 'Smack My Bitch Up' or Madonna's 'Like A Prayer' are the most controversial of all time; while they fare highly on Gigwise's countdown, there are some sicker and more twisted ones to be found...

CLICK HERE to see the 50 most controversial album covers of all time. Some are truly sick!
