Bowling For So Up Video Analysis
mber Twenty: D’Angelo, ‘Untitled (How Does It Feel)’
The best thing about this video is the simplicity of it. It’s just D’Angelo in front of a black screen...completely naked. He’s baring his soul and his six-pack. While Panic! at the Disco tried to recreate it in 2015, it doesn’t come close to the sensual, sexy, sweatiness of D’Angelo’s.
Number Nineteen: Robin Thicke, ‘Blurred Lines’
Extremely popular when it came out in 2013, this controversial song and video were everywhere. The video features Thicke, Pharrell and T.I. surrounded by scantily-clad women strutting their stuff. If you look close enough at the censored version, you can still see scenes from the original where those girls were completely nude.
Number Eighteen: Shakira, ‘She Wolf’

Number Nine: Madonna, ‘Justify My Love’
Banned by MTV, like a number of Madonna’s other videos, “Justify My Love” features several sexy scenes that are NSFW. A couple of these scenes include a three-way between Madge, a man and a woman, and a room with a couple performing S&M acts. There is also a very flexible shadowy man who I assume represents sex with his interpretive dancing.
Number Eight: t.A.T.u, ‘All the Things She Said’
The Russian pop duo’s only hit in the United States, the video got a lot of people talking. Featuring the duo in school girl uniforms in the pouring rain behind a fence, they were also romantically embracing each other. In 2002, lesbianism was still seen as “other” in popular culture and therefore taboo. It turns out though, the ladies aren’t even gay.
Number Seven: Britney Spears, ‘I’m a Slave 4
