alltoomuchrightnow and chrislilleyswig, he was a darling wasn't he? He's still rather dashing now too.

@RiseoftheSeahorse

In Demand by Texas. I’m fully convinced that video only came about because Sharleen Spiteri wanted to spend hours cuddling/ rubbing up against Alan Rickman. And who can blame her?

It sounds so weird on paper- “so we’ll spend the entire video cuddling in a car apart from one scene where we inexplicably tango in a Shell forecourt”- but it certainly works Blush

I could still watch this video alllllllll day long...

@MaxNormal

Not a music video exactly but Bowie as the Goblin King in Labyrinth.
Yes! Holy shit!
SinisterBumFacedCat · 06/09/2020 00:57

INXS Need you Tonight
Madonna La Isla Bonita
Pet Shop Boys Domino Dancing, I was obsessed with the model in it.

therarebear · 06/09/2020 01:09

Also Bono in the video for Where the Streets have No Name, on the roof top in New York. And most videos with 1990s Bono.

Not sure why but, when Leonard Cohen died, I came across a post of 'dance me to the end of love', featuring the dance scene from the movie 'scent of a woman' ( I subsequently discovered the song has two videos). The night after I watched it (a number of times), my husband arrived home with the same brand wine I had been drinking the night before! I had to tell him it wasn't the wine.

Starksforthewin · 06/09/2020 02:48

Loving this thread.

Bowie. Now and forever. The Starman performance on Top of the Pops was the start.

Prince. Utter filth. That smile.

INXS. Lucky Kylie!

Robert Palmer. I didn’t mean to turn you on...

Texas and Alan Rickman. Dear God Yes to ‘In Demand’ but also his voice on ‘Raise A Family’

George Michael Father Figure and Fast Love. George, you tease.

Toni Braxton.

I need a lie down 😀

sazza76 · 06/09/2020 03:02

George Michael in the I’m Your Man video, never has a tambourine looked so sexual!

Chienloup · 06/09/2020 03:38

Yep, Prince's Gett Off for me too.

elp30 · 06/09/2020 03:43

@Florial

I remember seeing Japan on Top of the Pops singing Quiet Life and thinking David Sylvian was the most breathtakingly beautiful person I'd ever seen.

YES!!

I still love Sylvian and his brother, Steve, the drummer, to this very day ❤️

Chienloup · 06/09/2020 03:49

Not a music video, but recent reawakening has come courtesy of Hercules Mulligan in Hamilton.
Apparently "it's hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets," Well, I'm willing to give it a try Hercules.

HistoriaTrixie · 06/09/2020 04:27

Duran Duran, Rio. (born in 1972). If I had known what an orgy (or sex for that matter) was I would cheerfully have had it with Simon, Nick, and John.

NibbleCushion · 06/09/2020 05:52

Yes yes to Adam Ant, I was. HUGE fan, I used to dream about him.

Agree with Dave Vanian & John Taylor from Duran Duran.

Roger Taylor from Queen was beautiful when he was younger, not bad now for his age.

The Poison video from Alice Cooper. OMG.

NibbleCushion · 06/09/2020 06:02

Oh got my Taylors mixed up. Roger from Duran.

Fishypants · 06/09/2020 06:45

New Kids On The Block - The Right Stuff too.

I loved Jordan Knight and planned my life with the sole aim to meet and marry him.

When New Kids were ousted by Take That, I consoled myself with the fact that teen idols only had short careers anyway and we'd never know Take That ever existed in 10 years time....ahem....

@blibblibs

Not a music video but the scene in Dirty Dancing when Baby spends the night in his cabin. I was 12.
God yes!

PoloNeckKnickers · 06/09/2020 07:47

Not a music video, but a shirtless Ryan O'Neal in Love Story when I was about 9 or 10.
I agree totally about Adam Ant. I saw him in concert last November and he still rocks leather trousers.

BernardBlackMissesLangCleg · 06/09/2020 12:37

blimey, how had i missed that Texas video? I think my evening is sorted. I need to see Mr Rickman as the metatron in Dogma

that voice, that cruel face

Pet8 · 06/09/2020 13:31

Definitely Nick Heyward's cheeky grin when I was 11. Swoon! Morton Harket in Take on me a few years later was more of a sexual awakening. But the sexiest videos have to be Wicked Game and The Chauffeur for me.

Bakedbeanhead · 06/09/2020 13:35

Oh god, Tony Hadley in the spandau Ballet True video, looking so handsome and slick. Just swooning now thinking of him !

Lalotai47 · 06/09/2020 13:52

Bon Jovi, Always. Still get fanny flutters when I see JBJ smile! That jawline and those lips! Swoon. Was also v attracted to Adam Ant and Morten Harkett.

VeniceQueen2004 · 06/09/2020 15:09

Bizarrely when I was about 6 I had the most terrible crush on Michael Jackson in "Do You Remember The Time" video Blush I'm 35 so by then he was well into his weird plastic surgery face and peculiar reputation so no idea what I was thinking. Possibly that I was actually in with a shot? Shudder

Then it was The Goblin King for a good long while... Still is really...

Brief teenage dalliance with (shame) AJ of the Backstreet Boys but swiftly got over that and crushed on pretty much every member of the band James into almost my 20s. Can't get back into them now they've reformed though, pretty little Saul Davies now looks like a potato that's been left out in the rain Sad

The night after I watched it (a number of times), my husband arrived home with the same brand wine I had been drinking the night before! I had to tell him it wasn't the wine.

This has really made me laugh, thanks!

BubblyBarbara · 06/09/2020 16:06

I am a bit old for music videos to have been part of my initial awakening but when I saw Christina aguilera Dirty twenty years ago or whenever it was, it was the first time I ever realised I might but be 100 per cent Straight def gave me a tingle

Fotallytucked · 06/09/2020 16:38

@ImaSababa I am straight but pink in that video would turn me in a flash !
