The very first video to get to me like this was [I Want You](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqGnsP4wOf0) by Savage Garden. In fact, watching that video now, ten years after the first time I watched it or however long it’s been, still makes my inner teenager squeal. ---

_Crash_ by the Dave Matthews Band–I’ve never liked any other song by them, and I don’t even like the words, but the music and voice–yowza. That Savage Garden song is pretty good too. I’d never seen the video and the singer looks nothing like I expected. The video of [_Think_](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frQWuMVyZY8) by the Information Society–when I was 16 or so the singer was about as perfect as I could want. There are probably a bunch more from my teenage years, but those spring to mind. I don’t know that you can say “used to” about them, though. ---

Poison - Alice Cooper. That’ll do it. 😃 ---

“Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” by the Eurythmics. I’m a straight female, but Annie Lennox in that video made me briefly question that. Also, Peter Gabriel’s “No Self Control.” _Damn,_ that man was hot in the '80s. I agree about Alice Cooper, though I can’t remember the exact video offhand. ---

> [@melodyharmonius](#): > > Yup - that one too. And not fair that you guys keep going to your bunk - I’m at work and don’t have the bunking option!!:smack: There’s always the ladies’ room. And I’d like to second _Girls On Film_, particularly the unrated version. Hummina-hummina-hummina. Back in the '80’s during the MTV heydey- which is to say, when they showed videos- a good 50-75% of the females in videos went braless. I was 14 when MTV launched, so the next decade was spent stocking the spank bank with countless pointy-nipped ladies making a foray into the music industry. Something as innocent as Dexy’s Midnight Runner’s _Come On Eileen_ would do it, because the girl (Eileen, presumably) wore overalls with nothing underneath. Ah, memories. ---

+1 (+2 vs. undead) on Berlin’s _Sex (I’m A…)_. And I won’t be ashamed to admit my 13-year-old self was quite taken with Madonna’s _Like A Virgin_ even if nobody else will admit to it. What I _will_ be ashamed to admit is that my 13-year-old self was also fairly moved by Cyndi Lauper’s _She Bop_. :o ---

> [@Gail](#): > > Chris Isaak’s [Wicked Game](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXmlJQN5Pm8) YES. Extremely sexy in a way that the sum of the parts is greater than the parts individually. Sultry song sung by a slightly refined brute, a doe-eyed sex goddess, AND the interaction between the two that makes that video one of the steamiest. Proof that you can have a hot chick and/or a hot guy in a video, but when they are getting hot and bothered with each other, then you’ve struck gold…member.😛 A runner up to that is Garbage’s [You Look So Fine](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2bUoqacYmo&feature=related). Not as much interaction, but Shirley makes up for it in voice and lyrics…and _those_ lips. It’s like her beauty and voice resurrected the guy from the dead with her angelic pleas to please. ---

And can I just say - there was something oddly sexy about the sand, the fact that her nail polish was somewhat rubbed off from the sand, the whole colorization of the film? /bunk ---

Two songs from Elvis’s 1968 Comeback Special – the really hot one is “It Hurts Me”. I couldn’t find a video for that but the runnerup does it too. If you think you can handle it, watch [Tryin’ to Get to You](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXlI4aO_9MU&feature=related). ---

Fourth-ing Wicked Games. Can’t believe I’m the first one to say Janet Jackson’s **If**. _Sweet holy Jesus_, that video was hot. Prince’s **Cream.** Hmmm… I’m sure there are more. Let me go check out the CD collection… ---
