Nine Music Videos with Complete Nudity (some are more creative than others)
This goes without saying but these are all NSFW. Duh.
Since the dawn of MTV, music videos have played up the sex factor to peak interest. These videos, some more creative than others, push the concept all the way and go full-on nude for a majority of the clip. The below is a list of recent videos (from the last two decades) that have cleverly-covered or not-so-covered nude men and women.
9. “Woman woman” by AWOLNATION, 2016
While I love AWOLNATION’s music, the videos are never super exciting. For this song that contains the lyrics “You may be a natural woman,” the band decided to put a bunch of naked women behind the instruments and the mic. About 10 women take the instruments on a stark white set and lip-sync/dance like nobody's watching, except for the male gaze. The lip-synching is intercut with the women sitting alone with different instruments, strategically posed to not expose themselves. As the song progresses to the bridge, the camera reveals more, which is all covered up by animated lyrics over the ladies’ chests/butts. During the singing parts, however, I’ll admit that it does look like they’re having a blast.
8. “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” by D’Angelo, 2000
Close-up on eyes, slow zoom out to reveal naked upper torso. Ripped Adonis. That’s the best description I can give.
7. “Blurred Lines (unrated video)” by Robin Thicke feat. T.I. and Pharrell, 2013
Three topless women walk circles around Robin Thicke, T.I. and Pharrell. Not much else happens. The blonde girl holds a goat, I guess.
6. “Memories” by David Guetta feat. Kid Cudi, 2010
Listen, I love Kid Cudi. I want to start with that. After seeing him topless in Two Night Stand, however, let’s just say his body left much to be desired. Fortunately, the nudity in this video is not by him, or by Guetta. Instead, it’s a naked film crew that captures the video, and also captures themselves in the reflective windows and buildings that Cudi crosses in front of. At least it seems that way. I am not sure if this was done in post-production but I feel like if they did do it in VFX, it was completely unnecessary as you could just have a naked female film crew and require way less work. The lyrics cleverly cover the girls’ parts in the reflection, so while the lyrics are occasionally dirty, the ladies never are.
5. “Somebody that I Used to Know” by Gotye feat. Kimbra, 2011
You’ve definitely heard the song unless you were living under a rock in 2011, and the video is an interestingly simple concept. Gotye stands nude in front of a plain background as stop motion quickly paints a geometric design on him as well as the wall. Kimbra steps in for her verse, already fully-painted.
4. “Lessons Learned” by Matt and Kim, 2009
This low-budget video for indie band Matt and Kim starts off unassuming, with the duo exiting a van in Times Square. It’s winter and everyone including the two singers are bundled in winter gear. Soon, though, Matt and Kim begin to remove their clothes as pedestrians watch with mouths agape. The video ends with the two getting wrangled by the cops for being completely nude in the NYC landmark. The group has explained that the cops were most definitely real, as they didn’t have the proper permits for the shoot. And also probably because they were naked.
3. “Baby Baby Baby” by Make the Girl Dance, 2009
2009 was a year of naked strolls through public areas, apparently. The video begins with a gorgeous model exiting a car with a toy boombox, removing her dress, and then confidently walking through the middle of a street as pedestrians look on. Her parts are covered by black censor bars that flash the lyrics of the song. Another clothed woman soon joins her, takes off her dress and passes it to the first girl, and now the focus is on girl #2. Soon after, the same thing happens with a third girl, who finishes the video standing on a street corner, presumably waiting for her ride. My favorite part of this video is that in France, passersby stare for only a moment, and then keep walking. Eh, naked girl? No biggie in Europe.
2. “Bitch Better Have My Money” by Rihanna, 2015
The concept of the video is simple. Blonde lady (played by model Rachel Roberts) is the wife of the accountant that has Rihanna’s money. Rihanna wants said money. Rihanna kidnaps lady to get money. Throughout the video, Rihanna drives around with her crew, played by Spanish model Sita Abellan and a model, Sanam, who Rihanna just found on Instagram somehow and called her up and was like “yo, wanna be in my video?” Yes, this is a thing that happens with social media now. Rihanna can call you up to ask to be in her music videos. Anyway, much of the video is the blonde lady being completely naked while Rihanna repeatedly asks for her money. Video ends with naked Rihanna on a pile of money, covered in (presumably) the accountant’s blood. Of all the videos on this list, I totally believe that this could be based on a true story, with Rihanna playing herself.
1. “Toe Jam” by BPA feat. David Byrne and Dizzee Rascal, 2008
This video begins with both men (porn ‘staches) and women (feathered Fawcett hairdos) enthusiastically stripping down in a 70s environment complete with wood-paneled walls and shag carpeting. If you think 70s + nudity = porn, then you’d be mistaken, as the video instead cleverly uses the censor bars over all parties’ dirty bits and middle fingers to come up with some clever formations. The censor bars spell out the song title, form an eyeball with a roaming pupil (the center female’s middle finger serves as such) and form oddball line-and-dot combos including a game of pong.

“The Danger” by Esoteric samples a scene from Breaking Bad, season 4 episode 6.
Original quote:
“Who are you talking to right now? Who is it you think you see? Do you know how much I make a year? I mean, even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it. Do you know what would happen if I suddenly decided to stop going into work? A business big enough that it could be listed on the NASDAQ goes belly up. Disappears! It ceases to exist without me. No, you clearly don't know who you're talking to, so let me clue you in. I am not in danger, Skyler. I am the danger. A guy opens his door and gets shot and you think that of me? No. I am the one who knocks!”

So this is interesting. Of course I knew Rihanna’s “Cockiness” sampled a male vocal...but definitely didn’t know it was Greg Kinnear from “Stuck on You”

Remember that time that Banksy and Danger Mouse collaborated to release 500 fake copies of Paris Hilton’s debut album? Time to refresh that memory.

Concert Hotels put together an interactive chart examining the recorded vocal ranges of the world's greatest, and most popular, singers. Plotting the octaves successfully captured in the studio, the chart demonstrates just how far across the keyboard...
I am surprised that Mariah Carey is lower than Lorde on this list.

Outkast inarguably popularized several hip-hop slang words, as well as gained respect for the now growing southern rap culture.
