I remember seeing the Krokus video on MTV, and thinking it was awful at the time. Now, it seems even worse.

To me, if there was anything that got it banned from any channel, or aired during the late night only, it was either the woman in the skimpy leotard with her nipples poking out, or the woman delivered to the man on the podium, whom one may assume possibly raped her off-screen.
