Ever since the birth of the medium, there have been sex-drenched music videos. But truly sexy videos that don't devolve into corniness or porniness are much trickier to pull off. As such, there have been only a handful of truly sexy videos. Many have been lost to time; others aren't publicly available due to copyright enforcement. But we found fifty we've long loved to love. As always, we encourage a brawl in the Feedback section over our selections — go Altamont on our asses. Give it to us Woodstock II style. We'll keep swinging.

50. Jennifer Lopez, "I'm Glad" (2003)  This Jennifer Beals/Jennifer Lopez hybrid proves to be music-video alchemy. J. Lo's third single may be long forgotten by top-forty radio, but fans won't forget the video, which features choreography by Jeffrey Hornaday, who reprises his work from Flashdance.

|
49. Rilo Kiley, "The Frug" (1999) Rilo Kiley were unknown at the time of this song's release. It was only through this video, and the song's inclusion in a long-forgotten Christina Ricci film, that they were signed to a record label. Jenny Lewis can sing to us from her bedroom anytime.

48. Tim Deluxe, "It Just Won't Do" (2001)
We'd never heard of Tim Deluxe until we saw this video. Turns out, he's a British dance producer, as well as the dude in the lawn chair reading a copy of The Origin of Species. But there's something strangely hypnotic about this video, and it's not just the panty-less ass in the leopard-print loincloth. Is it the never-ending slow-motion struts across the stadium floor? The athleticism? Or the fact that the video remains strangely fixated on the referee's calls: Sorry, missy, that ball was outside the line!

|
| 47. U2, "All I Want is You" (1989)
 Possibly the most romantic video on this list, this rarely seen but essential early-MTV staple features a climax (not the sexual kind, unfortunately) in which a little person (played by a not-yet-famous Peter Dinklage) working as a circus freak appears to kill himself over his impossible love for a trapeze artist. Does she strip for him? Or for her boyfriend, the Strong Man?

|
46. God-des & She, "Lick It" (2007) God-des & She are lesbian hip-hoppers from New York who have yet to make it really big, but this song kills and the video is off the hook. Featuring the prolific drag king Murray Hill as the sex instructor, it makes us want to laugh out loud and take a cold shower at the same time. The game of "pin the g-spot on the vagina" is just one of many things that got this banned from MTV.

|
|
|
45. Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, "Into the Great Wide Open" (1991)
 This is an essential inclusion for, if nothing else, the presence of Johnny Depp and Burn Notice's Gabrielle Anwar. But there's also a barrage of fun cameos, including by Terence Trent D'Arby, Faye Dunaway, Chynna Phillips of Wilson Phillips, and Matt LeBlanc.
|
|
|
44. Justin Timberlake, "What Goes Around . . . Comes Around" (2007)
|
|
|
43. Björk, "Pagan Poetry" (2001)
|
|
|
42. MSTRKRFT, "Easy Love" (2006)
 MSTRKRFT's video for Easy Love is sure to color your next trip to Jamba Juice in erotic overtones. A clever half-ironic take on videos that employ the sexy buttoned-up-secretary cliché, the straw-between-the-lips closeup and the superfluous use of allegedly alluring fluids. And yet, we're still turned on.

 They were never conventional sex symbols, but when we were in high school, the Beasties gave all the cocky, goofball, do-anything-for-a-laugh class clowns that we were attracted to a serious run for their money.

I'm surprised you even questioned the all-clear perfection of "Simply Irresistible." That is un-believably sexy!
a little surprised not to see more nineties r&b here. tony toni tone or something. pleased as punch to see fiona apple, though, as i still love that video fiercely.
you forgot the video for "stacy's mom" by fountains of wayne. it rips off fast times pretty well.
imsurprisevapgftjcsftilcrtcuydmdbxcdkz8d,lmvyyt
Um. Duran Duran's Girls on Film and Prince's Get It On should be in the top five. Otherwise excellent
Duran Duran GOF hands down!
dirty by Christina? i became a man to that video
go 2 hell u motherfucker
"Go to hell motherfucker" is a bit harsh don't you think??? Arnest is f'ing crazy!!!!!
Two big misses.
1. You can't include Britney's video without Christina Aguilera's "Dirrty". She was always way hotter and more talented and I can't count the number of friends who told me about their jaws (among other things) dropping the first time they saw it.
2. Nikka Costa - "Like a Feather", So ridiculously sexy it can't not be on this list.
Maaaaannnn, did you guys really miss one. Duran Duran "Girls on Film"! One of the sexiest videos ever, the uncensored version is white hot.
No Fountains of Wayne? For Shame.
How does Girls, Girls, Girls, by Motley Crue not make it. It made in a strip club
sexy
a good list.
very eclectic, even if it's a little prince-heavy.
but not a single toni braxton video?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggULcgl8V8w
Um.. you guys missed this one:
http://nz.youtube.com/watch?v=fLRZ7-3fdMg
John Cougar Mellancamp's 'let it all hang out'
Shame, shame, shame.
There's a few more, but I don't feel like schoolin' ya today.
In re: "All I Want Is You," the dwarf isn't Peter Dinklage. It's not in his IMDB profile or Wikipedia page, and Wikipedia's page on the song states the dwarf is the (presumably Italian, given the location) actor Paolo Risi.
the people who made this list must not be fans of hip-hop
oh yessss.this was the hottest video....robert palmer-great singer lost to us way too soon-
Where is Alex Gaudino's "Destination Calabria" ????
no Girls on Film?
It's understandable that this missed your radar, but this Thunderheist video, actually the winning pick of a video-making contest, is by far one of the actually sexist things I've ever seen attached to a song.
http://pitchfork.tv/videos/thunderheist-jerk-it
Only if you like rooting chickens....lol
Fionaa Apple is #1
How can Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again" not be on this list?
You have got to be kidding with J.Geils Band as # 2 on any list of any kind.
That ranks and Lenny Kravitz "Where Are We Running" or his
"Black Velveteen" videos do not crack the top 50?
You have put two Arrowsmith and one Bitch Spears videos ahead of anything
George Michael put out.
UNCOOL !!!
The # 1 sexiest video is Bjork's "Alarm Call".
Come on Nerve staff ~ go take a REALY good look and feel of the energy
in that.
SPOT ON!! You got them all perfect. Nice to be on the same page. Robert Palmer was just so very yummy is soooo many ways. Thanks for the mood lifter. You rock!!
Everything But The Girl "The Future Of The Future "
is sexier than anything a 80's hair metal band ever came up with.
George Michael didn't split from WHAM! just before that video/album was released - he split from WHAM! prior to Faith. He was having issues with his record label, and he wanted to break away from the image he created when he released Faith (hence the burning of the leather jacket).
Also, no "Need You Tonight" by INXS? Bowie's "China Girl"?
What about the divynils "I touch myself" It should be in the top ten.
What about "Taste It" by INXS? "Need You Tonight" was awesome, yes, but "Taste It" even managed to get BANNED. And damn if it wasn't freaking hot. But maybe I'm partial.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8d-MpFziDE
I'm glad you didn't include my personal number one, Turn It On Turn It Up Turn Me Loose by Dwight Yoakam. The look that the girl in red swinging on the saddle hanging from the ceiling...Or really just about anything by Allison Krauss...but the country erotic mystique comes from understatement, from knowing that you can insinuate far more than you can ever show...Bunuel and Almodovar both got more suggestive in mind as they got older, as they moderated the explicit sharp edges.
I have no idea how in the Hell Iggy Pop's "Candy" is sexier than Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again" (and besides, I always thought Cindy Wilson was much hotter than Kate Pierson-in her prime, of course).
Others left out here:
The original version of Sophie B. Hawkins's "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover"
Alice Cooper-"Poison"
Madonna-"Bad Girl" (she has never been hotter, in my opinion)
Letters to Cleo-"Here and Now" (I just love pigtails on a fine young woman)
New Order-"Round and Round" (similar to the "Freedom '90" video: sucky song yet the models are just yummy)
Prince-"Cream"
Oh, and one more: LL Cool J's "Goin' Back to Cali"
Cow Cow Boogie, Dorothy Dandridge, 1942. Oooh Honey, shake it but don't break it, took mama nine long months to make it.
Nice top 50 although Placebo's 'protect me from what i want' made by gaspard noe has to be the sexiest video of all time. It is not even available on youtube, but easy to DL
Girls on Film - Duran Duran?
What a classic list!
I was not dissapointed at all. Thank for reminding me of Freedom
I think you forgot about Toni Braxton's "Unbreak my Heart". That video is pretty much soft-core porn... VERY sexy...it deserved to be on your list!
man! you're too old. best sexies videos are being produced right now! (note: i'm 34 years old, i enjoy "videos of my generation", but this list is somo serious bul...t! serious man!
The new number one sexiest video should be The Veronicas-Take Me On The Floor. Its comnig out soon. Watch out for this band. Just listen to the song, you can imagine how the video will be.
Janet Jackson's "Anytime, Anyplace"
Bjork's "Cocoon"
This list does not include Bryan Adams "Cuts like a knife". Just having hot half nakd women doesn't make for sexy. The girl in the Adams video dressing in the leather bikini...
Where's Maroon 5 - This Love?
My number one is DJ Shadow's "Six days". It was directed by Wong Kar-wai---Wikipedia lists it among his short films---and that guy knows sexy. To save you time with the search boxes:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZKeSNZhm18
What?! You left off the Divinyl's "I Touch Myself." Hot!
Where is "I like it" from Narcotic trust? I think it is the sexiest clip ever!
Janet Jackson's "IF" did not make the list, but Robert Palmer's bored (and boring) ladies pretending to play instruments did?! Please explain.
EXCATLY. Janet Jacksons "IF" was the First thing I thought of when I saw "Sexiest Dance Videos"Shame..
i cant believe you missed annie lennox "i need a man"
Hmmm.... where's "Self Control" by Laura Branigan?
Country music is "Sexy" but How could you leave of the Rodney Crowell/RoseAnne Cash video for"It's a Small World"
Should have been in the top 3
this is f*cking ridiculous. the whole thing seems to be an homage to cool as decided by a very select group of people. you can't tell me that addicted to love is number one? please! only if you're watching this with a paperbag over yr head. i am sorely disappointed
I can't believe Duran Duran's Uncensored "Chauffeur" and "Girls on Film" were'nt included
Girls, Girls, Girls!
What? No Girls On Film? That video would be crazy even by todays standards...
I understand that it is hard to come up with a list that will please everyone but it is unforgivable not to have even one of these; "Love would never do" Janet Jackson, anything by Mariah Carey (especially "Loverboy"), "Promise of a new day" Paula Abdul, etc.
A "video single" is a video released for the public to buy. Since Madonna wasn't getting airplay, just controversy, for the video it was released on VHS at the time and sold like crazy. I'm not understanding why a music critic doesn't know this and would even be prepared to write a 50 sexiest music videos list???
B.O.N (Band Ohne Namen) from Germany - BOYS is the video. Look for the uncensored version...sure it's silly but LOVE SHACK!?!?!?! is just ridiculous.
Good call on Wicked Game, though. Should be number 1.
Pound Cake by Van Halen
Nuff said.
I Don
Great presentation, but you forgot Milk Shake, I believe
Hmm, wheres Alex Gausinos "Destination Unknown"?
Where is ONJ "Let's get Physical"?
How Do you overlook DIRRTY, C Aguilera......Totally ruins your list. Top five hands down
How did Staci's Mom not make this list?
George Michael's "Father Figure" should certainly be in the Top 5!
What do you think?
I think is more like a 40+y/o woman's choices
I think is more like a 40+y/o woman's choices

Christina Aguilera's Dirrty needs to be up here. But I think Justify My Love should be #1, that vid still makes me blush

What do you think?

What do you think?
there is no sexy girls
What do you think?
I was under the impression that this was about sexiest music videos. Those who complied this list should separate popularity from sexiest. Adina Howard "Freak like me" or Christina Milian - "Dip it Low"
Benny Benassi - Who's Your Daddy.
What do you think?
What do you think?
What do you think?
Eric Prydz- call on me is #1 I'm just saying
when i was in prison, i spent saturday morning's "paying great attention to detail," to the tracks on video hits and the only one that really turned me on at the time was 'crazy in love- beyonce.' the way she struts around and makes everything bounce in her thin sexy braless top made me.. um.. lose interest in anything that followed it :)
"Hips Don't Lie" Shakira, Shakira!!!
father figure by George Michael
i think it is baby by Justin bieber and father figure by George Michael
don't stop the music by Rhianna
Michael Jackson- in the closet
Eric Prydz- CALL ON ME! for the NUMBER 1 SPOT!
Eric Prydz- CALL ON ME! for the NUMBER 1 SPOT!
Call on me is #1
hell yeah

good wark
Why isn't Rico Suave all up on this?
This is pretty fail.
What do you think?
Father Figure - George Michael and Take A Bow - Madonna and there are at least 2 by Nelly Furtado, Say It Right and Promiscuous
Better luck next time..! Anyway good work..!
Awsum
come on people addicted to love? those chicks are dressed like they're going to a funeral. where is benny benassi - satisfaction...? pure, brutal sex... the list is lame-ish...
it does have to be ERIC PRYDZ CALL ON ME in every aspect
I can't believe that you have left out Duran Duran's original uncut version " Girls on Film "
Damn they are a bit old-fashioned aren't they? I found the 'new' list on this website: http://sexymusicvideo.weebly.com
Oh man, how could you miss the night version of "Imagination" by Belouis Some? Get out of here!
what, no self control by laura branigan? no here i go again by whitesnake? no should've known better by richard marx?
No best ever music collection is complete without Michael Jackson!!!! But still a reallly gud wrk!!
Madonna - Erotica ?
i thought this was supposed to be "sexiest videos of all time"??? then this completely fails.... sexy videos from Benny Benassi like "who's your daddy" where about every girl is naked would beat all of this... and a lot more
THIS TOP 50 TOTALLY SUCKS YOU BITCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JUST WASTED MY TIME!
This list was prepared by either a woman or a homosexual. please die
no u hang up shayne ward
I didn't see Christina Aguilera's Dirrty ...
Yes, sure, I like it, Interesting and educational. Please continue to write more interesting post in your website.
i want sex
To the 50 year old douche who came up with this list: you are so fucking out of touch it's making my stomach hurt. You've completely failed here. I'll bet you shop at nordstroms and I can guarantee you wear those GD dress shirts with abstract patterns on the inside of the collar and cuffs. You probably tuck in your shirts and wear designer jeans during the week and Ed hardy/ affliction on the weekends. If you're a co-worker of this prick, please hit him in the back of the head with a stapler.
I think there's a new No. 1.
Heather Morris' tribute to Britney Spears' "Slave 4 U" from "Glee" is sexier than the original and any of the videos on this list.
Are u serious? Get a life
I love mucic
My daddy is DJ Big Nut Kenja Smith
sex
Where is "buttons" by the pussycat dolls?
Hey Daddy I Love you so much i can smell your fart but you do not like me to say it but you know because you do not like farting but you like to watch fart .com thats not good so this time i am going to say hey to Joe young i hate you by the way love Jalyn Smith
What do you think?
Hey guys my daddy said stop puting naste stuff
ummm, Dirrty? where is it?
What do you think?

Surprised Divinyls' "Touch Myself" isn't included

WHERE THE FUCK IS MICHAEL JACKSON WITH IN THE CLOSET?
WORST TOP EVER!
IN THE CLOSET
IN THE CLOSET
IN THE CLOSET
IN THE CLOSET
Im sorry but this list really sucks. If Call on Me by Eric Prydz isnt number one, then a list of sexy music vids will suck hardcore.
how can u leave out IMAGINATION by BELOIS SOME, uncensored version from 1986!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where is Christina Aguilera - Dirrty ? This Top50 doesn't have any sense without this video clip.
srsly, you suck hrse balls.
it sucks!!!
it sucks!!!!
What did you do? Copy VH1's sexiest videos? This is a lame list. Half of these are sexy in no way.
BELIEVE ME, IS THE BEST!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWxnI8-5LEg&feature=related
BELIEVE ME IS THE BEST:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWxnI8-5LEg&feature=related
Where's christina aguilera in dirrty for goddamnit? where's Holly Valance in kiss kiss? where's the fu**in brain of the guy who did this list??
WHERE'S BEYONCE'S VIDEOS? DUDEEEEEEEE CRAZY IN LOVE, SINGLE LADIES, UPGRADE U, DEJA VU godddd she's fucking hot
this list is garbage
Obviously the guy who made this list is GAY. As those before me pointed out where is Beyonce, Holly Valance and Xtina's Dirrrty??
I listen to all music, new and old. I've seen probably just about every music video ever made. whoever made this list sucks so hard I think the world has imploded a little. Almost totally biased to the 80's. just because that's when this guy learned to masturbate doesn't mean these are the sexiest videos of all time. I can't believe this ranks this high on Google. I want the 20min of my life I spend reading this list back. Now I'm going to have to make my own list, just because someone has to do it right.
Each month, we get hundreds of questions from our readers
Hi greatest place in the planet is this. best in world.I’ve no words for my country.. I like old forts.I’ve lived in Indian Cities.
Dreadful list...has the author ever seen videos such as
The chaffer - Durran Durran which contains girls in Basques topless dancing
while being a little obscure he must have heard of Girls on film...hello MID wrestling
or Malcome Mclarens Madame butterfly, models in a steamroom wearing skin coloured bikinis..
you aint got a clue mate !
Houzecrushers - Touch me
Where is Wicked Games??
Dan Balan - Chica Boom
ifwifwifoj
dckjscjcc
mcksdncklsdnccds cdm c
Lame, every damn video is blocked or no longer available. Fucking Youtube.
this list is shit. your first place was a downer
i totally agree
Really - Wicked Game isn't number one? Addicted to Love is okay, but sexiest vide0? Centerfold; a sexy video? Watch the top 5 and there is only one conclusion - Wicked Game is the best.
where is call on me?
Just a suggestion, it would be great if you re-did this sort of article with videos that are viewable on the page (as you had originally intended I'm sure) as I have only actually been able to few 2 or 3 videos...
As a lot of people have said before me, where is Xtina - Dirrty? O.o
New to website. Cool!!! But really..., u know
woah woah woah, i dont think that the dumb ass song addicted to love should even be on here... and what about mariah's "don't forget about us"... i'm gay and that video got me hard.. this list was bullshit, rihanna and prince and modonna yeah oh and jennifer lopez should not have been last...
this sucked all the videos where taken off. wtf
worst top videos ever you suck
What about MUH! - Matterhorn Project
How about Billy Squire's "She Goes Down" and Sheena Easton's "Sugar Walls"
You have no Warrant "Cherry Pie"? That proves you have no clue what you're talking about. But you do have Beastie Boys "No Sleep Till Brooklyn"? And what was sexy about that, the one girl dancing in a diaper? Still better than that cross dresser garbage you have on your list.
Tweet's Oops (oh my) is sexy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb37Nh_Sg4g
WOW that ius a terrible list, barely sexy at all. Eric Prydz – Call On Me is by far sexier then any of these. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_fCqg92qks
Can't believe absolutely no one mentioned Demon vs. Heartbreaker - You Are My High
http://youtu.be/flkdwb1BhuU
You can close that page...Most of the videos are deactivated by youtube... At least here in Europe... :(
Hm...Bubble pop by Hyuna,abracadabra by Brown eyed girls,Bo peep by Tara and Run devil run by SNSD deserve to be up there.
get a life all of u.......waat r all of u old ppl??
Where is Christina Aguilera - Dirrty? Definitely deserves a spot.
this list is okay, but I definitely prefer the list at:
http://www.sexiestmusicvideos.net
My vote for #1 is Here I go again by Whitesnake.
I really liked the article, and the very cool blog
where is beyonce - baby boy is danm sexy
gnqHue See it for the first time���
You have 50 videos 40 of which are completely unknown, yet nobody bothered to put lady marmalade in that. OK.
How in the world can Warrant's Cherry Pie not be on this list. I'm still in love with Bobbie Brown.
I'm sorry - what is the point of this website again? Everything's blocked/disabled/removed! Another wanabe TopXXs site...
you suck
Why did they not put in "turn the page" by Metallica?
I think the most sexy music video clip ever is Kylie Minogue Can't get you out of my head. Wow, those dresses...
Christina aguilera - Dirrty?!? Where is it?
this is a great site for sex like it very much keep it up sir
Sexy video
sorocea mormlef

WTF!? Where is Hurricane by 30 Seconds to Mars?! Man, that's the sexiest shit around!
Hurricane, by 30 seconds to mars. Jared Leto is mah babe <3 very sexy scenes in that vid. and speaking of "the babe"...any David Bowie vid. (get it? bowie..."you remind me of the babe" haha?) LOVE HIM! David Bowie was HOT in every way back a decade of two
Geez you missed some great ones. How about: Olivia Newton John - Physical; Sheena Easton - The Lover in Me; Madonna - Open Your Heart; Britney Spears - Womanizer; Vanity 6 - Nasty; and the hottest video EVER...Divynals - I Touch Myself.
try to go on youtube and text "deuce let´s get it crackin"
This is sexy! but i think nicole sherzinger's baby love should be on. afterall my wife and me had sex with that music on! i love nicole more than my wife so baby love should be on. (i got my erection due to nicole not my wife)
Now you say something
