* Nana Hedin in E-Type's "[[https://youtu.be/HoT1GFrMods Here I Go Again]]"(combined with SurrealMusicVideo) and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIMz0nTp2sA "Life"]].

* E-Rotic's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmQoHh0X2jk "Murder Me '21"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-uZRSMIdh4 "Head Over Heels"]], as if they, along with the director of videos Oliver Sommer, were trying to [[FollowTheLeader replicate the success of music videos for]] Madonna's songs (see example above) instead of making [[AnimatedMusicVideos animated videos]] they were known for.

** You better [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt8VYOfr8To&feature=kp Work]] [[CensoredTitle B***]].

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4JfPlry-iQ Bo$$]]" by Music/FifthHarmony, which marked the start of their current "feminism is sexy" phase.

* Music/MarinaAndTheDiamonds did a GenderFlipped version of the standard "fully-clothed male singer surrounded by scantily-clad women" in her video for "How to be a Heartbreaker", with herself fully clothed (though in a {{dominatrix}}-like outfit) and surrounded by male models in Speedos.

* Mocked ''mercilessly'' in the Music/{{Jewel}} video "Intuition" which includes fake ''TRL'' quotes like "Her voice sounds so much better in that outfit!" It didn't quite turn out like she figured.

* Two words: Ginuwine. "Pony".

* Ashley Jade's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KB-2lfJMdho Let Me Be Your Fantasy]]. By the way, she was ''[[JailBait seventeen]]'' at the time.

* Music/DavidGuetta and Music/{{Akon}}'s "Sexy Bitch"[[note]]or Chick[[/note]] features dancers in bikinis. When WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows reviewed the song, he staeted that it's close to just being borderline pornography.

* Music/{{Akon}}'s "Sexy Bitch" features dancers in bikinis. WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows says that it's borderline pornography.

* Music/FKATwigs subverts this just a little with the video for “Cellophane”, which starts with Twigs pole-dancing in a sparkly bikini. Then she meets a giant insect with her face. Then things begin to get odd.

* Most dancehall reggae videos are like this. There will usually be girls shaking their butts, in extreme cases doing handstands and splits while doing so.

* Music/{{Shakira}} is particularly famous for shaking her hips. The "Beautiful Liar" video is noteworthy, because it's three minutes of writhing with Beyonce. Then of course, there's "Hips Don't Lie".

* The video for "Call On Me" by Eric Prydz notoriously consists entirely of busty women in {{Stripperiffic}} gymwear (and a man [[MaleGaze who's enjoying it]]) [[WorkoutFanservice doing eroticised aerobics]]. 'Ey, not bad for a LimitedLyricsSong.

* The video for "Call On Me" by Eric Prydz notoriously consisted entirely of busty women doing eroticised aerobics in {{Stripperiffic}} gymwear. 'Ey, not bad for a LimitedLyricsSong.

* Music/{{Morrissey}}'s "November Spawned A Monster". a pretty odd choice because the actual song is about the plight of a disabled woman, and midway through the song an actress, apparently portraying said woman, starts letting out terrifying unintelligible cries. This makes sense if you're paying attention to the lyrics, but if you're too busy watching Morrissey suggestively writhe around rock formations in a desert while wearing tight pants and a mesh v-neck shirt, it just seems inexplicable. When the video appeared on WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead, Beavis told Morrissey to "quit whining, go out and get a job and some good clothes... and another thing, stay away from those rocks!"

* Dear gods, the video for Music/{{Billy Squier}}'s "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR0j7sModCI Rock Me Tonight]]." It depicts Squier, decked out in a getup that looks like it was stolen from Jennifer Beals' {{Film/Flashdance}} wardrobe, flailing effeminately around a pastel-lit bedroom and writhing on pink satin sheets. As one might expect, it undermined the tough guy image he'd worked hard to cultivate and alienated a lot of his fans. His career stalled, and although he remained moderately successful throughout the eighties, he never quite recovered the fame he'd experienced at the start of the decade.

* Olivia Newton-John plays with the trope in "Physical", by replacing it with Three Minutes Of Flexing instead: her video is set in a gym, in which she and some fat guys work out, the latter being transformed into some Grade-A beefcake for the final chorus. Still lots of bodily contortions and skin, but at least there's a pretense of plot.

* Have you forgotten Gillian Anderson (Agent Dana Scully from The X-Files) in the Extremis video by Hal?

* Most dancehall reggae videos are like this. There will usually be girls shaking their booties, in extreme cases doing handstands and splits while doing so.

** Ariana Grande's music video for "[[https://youtu.be/g5qU7p7yOY8 Love Me Harder]]" features her posing, striking herself, and wearing a bra and short skirt the entire time.

* Music/{{Mastodon}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWFWazj7Ud8 "The Motherload"]] plays with this trope. Starts off like a heavy metal video, switching between "symbolic" scenes and shots of the band, but by the first chorus the trope is parodied by having several girls {{ShakingTheRump}} appear in contrast to the stark color and haunting images. The trope then zig-zags to subversion at the bridge when the video becomes about the girls and their dance battle/party, while the band becomes the "background dancers."

* Music/{{Beyonce}}: The video for "Single Ladies" anyone? How about the videos for "Crazy in Love", "Drunk In Love", "Baby Boy" or "Partition"?

* Music/{{Beyonce}}: The video for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" anyone? How about the videos for "Crazy in Love", "Drunk In Love", "Baby Boy" or "Partition"?
* Music/KellyRowland. The video for "Motivation" is quite the steamy affair. The videos for "Ice", "Kisses Down Low" and "Comeback" are quite erotic aswell.

* Have you forgotten Gillian Anderson in the Extremis video by Hal?

* Most dancehall reggae videos are like this. There will usually be girls shaking their butts, in extreme cases doing handstands and splits while doing so.

** Ariana Grande's music video for "[[https://youtu.be/g5qU7p7yOY8 Love Me Harder]]" features her posing, stroking herself, and wearing a bra and short skirt the entire time.

* Music/TaylorSwift's "Shake it Off" has a line of backup dancers [[ShakingTheRump twerking]] in [[WhoWearsShortShorts daisy duke shorts]].
* Music/{{Mastodon}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWFWazj7Ud8 "The Motherload"]] plays with this trope. Starts off like a generic metal video, switching between "symbolic" scenes and shots of the band, but by the first chorus the trope is parodied by having several girls {{ShakingTheRump}} appear in contrast to the bleak color and haunting images. The trope then zig-zags to subversion at the bridge when the video becomes about the girls and their dance battle/party, while the band becomes the "background dancers."
