10 Shocking Music Videos From Big-Name Artists

8. Duran Duran - Girls On Film

Back in the 80s, Simon le Bon and the boys had released two singles, neither of which did particularly well in the charts (both failing to trouble the top 10).

Directed by easy-listening duo Godley & Creme, the video depicts lots of girls wearing not very much, on a catwalk, before mud-wrestling inevitably ensues.

Predating Freddie's sexual sweat by a year, Duran Duran make the Queen boys look tame, as 'Girls on Film' pretty much became the earliest recorded use of "NSFW" in the MTV dictionary.
