Most Memorable Greatest Music Videos (69-61)

69. Frankie Goes To Hollywood- Two Tribes (1984)
This music video was very significant as it was created around the time of the Cold War, which showed the American President having a bare knuckle fight with the Russian President. This was very controversial as you could imagine as it shows two of the most powerful people at the time fighting while their two countries where in real life.


66. Bob Dylans- Subterranean Homesick Blues (1965)
This video shows Bob Dylan stood behind savoy hotel holding up the lyrics of the song while trying to keep in time with the song itself, this was shot in one take and Bob's laidback attitude about it all made him look cool which he already was amongst all of his fans. This music video has inspired many others since.


63. George Micheal- Outside (1998)
This video from George Micheal was very controversial as it was just as he got discovered in public toilets by a police officer, who he later mocked in the video, comminting sexual acts with another man. His career could have gone either way as he came out as being gay, but by making this video of getting helicopters to spy on couples in sexual acts. He also made the video very camp and got two policemen to make out this casued the officer who arrested George to become upset and later tried to sue him for $10 million.


61. The Prodigy- Smack My Bitch Up (1997)
This was another controversial video as it appears to show cases of domestic violennce until the end when you realise that it was a woman on the night out. This was all shot in one night due to the low budget given to the director, who had also directed some of the Madonna videos, and shot the whole video in a point of view shot. This sparked so much controvesy that even MP's wanted it banned for provoking the audience.
