OH and also, my mum had a VHS of Queen’s Greatest Hits videos and I fell absolutely head over heels for Roger Taylor when I was about 6/7 years old (this was about 1994). Was devastated when I found out he was much older than me Sad

What's the frequency Kenneth.
I was a teenager, but I used to pause the video at certain points where Michael Stipe would look bloody sexily into the camera.
I still love the man. Shane I'm not his type!

I'm older than most people on this thread, so for me it was David Cassidy, 'Daydreamer' - I just looked it up and 8 year old me had great taste :-D

DelilahfromDevon · 05/09/2020 17:21

Also came on to say Chris Isaac’s Wicked Game. I could absolutely be turned by Helena Christensen. She is still absolutely stunning.

Another vote for Take On Me

JeNeComprendsPas · 05/09/2020 17:33

Take on me here as well. I didn't pay much attention to others til Kylie Minogue's Slow video. Blimey.

Upherefordancing · 05/09/2020 17:33

Haha - I don't recall any in my teens, but when my DD showed me this video earlier this year I can honestly say it's one of the sexiest things I've ever seen!

Youreatragedystartingtohappen · 05/09/2020 17:37

Wicked game by Chris isaacs gets my vote.

Bryan Adams- run to you as well. The lyric "But it's so damn easy makin' love to you" still gets me every single time.

And Anthony Kiedis in pretty much any of his music videos (dark necessities lyrically and visually) is proof that life can be very very good at times.

YouJustDoYou · 05/09/2020 17:38

I'm jealous reading all of these, I'm almost 40 and have never had a "sexual awakening" :(

LunaNorth · 05/09/2020 17:40

Debbie Harry performing Heart of Glass on TOTP in just a longish white sweater. I’m straight, but she pushed me a few notches along the sexuality spectrum.

David Bowie in the Jazzing For Blue Jean video.

INXS Need You Tonight.

And Adam and the Ants Prince Charming.

TheSoapyFrog · 05/09/2020 17:42

Do What U Like by Take That. The mop, the jelly, the bare bums..

OldQueen1969 · 05/09/2020 17:45

Don't laugh cos I is old - born 69 - and I had the hugest very innocent crush on Donny Osmond. In fact, apparently, as my DM used to delight in telling my son, my imaginary friends were the Osmond family and apparently lived with us......

Adam Ant stirred me massively in my early teens, followed in short order by Simon Le Bon and Roger Taylor, then David Sylvian......

Discovered Axl Rose in my early 20s - oh my. And Eddie Vedder was another one who made me go a bit wibbly.

Anyone who wants to re-visit the 80s year by year I highly recommend the BBC 4 documentaries that go behind the scenes at TOTP - binge watched them on Youtube on a particularly low day and it was great.

Very strange though to see all of these young sex Gods giving current interview clips..... some have weathered well...... others not so much lol - bit like me really hahahaha!

Carouselfish · 05/09/2020 17:49

Not a music vid but Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park switched my hormones on at 12. Sweaty palms in cinema...

LeslieYep · 05/09/2020 17:51

@alcalavicci he's something else isn't he. He's lost nothing.

Coldwinterahead1 · 05/09/2020 18:02

I also had a massive crush on Shakin Stevens!! He was fit

Afwan · 05/09/2020 18:14

Yes to Merchant Ivory films

Pop video wise, it was I drove all night by Roy Orbison and watching how devoted Jason Priestly was to Jennifer Connolly in that video.

PhilSwagielka · 05/09/2020 18:15

Baby It’s Cold Outside. I had a huge crush on Cerys Matthews. She was a closet key.

FemaleKerrAvon · 05/09/2020 18:31

Master and Servant - Depeche Mode.

Soundbyte · 05/09/2020 18:40

SugarMiceInTheRain · 05/09/2020 18:46

@MaxNormal Snap! There was definitely something about him as the Goblin King that made me go a bit funny Grin
