A sexy music video is a proven method that has worked for decades. Not all have succeeded in getting people all hot and bothered, but some most certainly have. A good music video can completely save a mediocre song or even boost a excellent song to greatness. Here is some proof.

Miley Cyrus — “Wrecking Ball”

Bye Bye Hannah Montana for real…”The Party in the USA” became a little less child friendly when this clip dropped. Directed by fashion photographer Terry Richardson the clip presents close-up footage of Cyrus emotionally singing to the camera against a white backdrop, having been inspired by the music video for “Nothing Compares 2 U” by Sinéad O’Connor.

Warrant — “Cherry Pie”

Bobbie Brown who is the blonde female getting sprayed with a water hose while dancing around in this clip married Jani Law (Warrant’s lead singer) not long after the music video was made. They divorced in 1993. After her divorce from Lane, Brown was engaged to Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee. In 2012, Brown joined the cast of the reality show Ex-Wives of Rock not long after.

Britney Spears — “Womanizer”

Britney lying naked in a sauna during her prime…this was never going to fail in the “sexy” music video world.

Robin Thicke — “Blurred Lines”

To say it was controversial is an understatement, but when Robin Thicke and Pharrell combined topless models Emily Ratajkowski, Elle Evans and Jessi M’Bengue with a stray goat it became one of the most talked about music videos. Eye candy for all walks of life and 358,309,870 views later, we say thank you.

Christina Aguliera — “Dirrty”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Rg3sAb8Id8

Christina went from “Genie in a Bottle” to stripper in a underground boxing ring. The Mickey Mouse Club may not approve.

Eric Prydz — “Call on Me”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_fCqg92qks

It was on heavy rotation on music channels and tripled gym memberships around the world. Is this what really happens at the gym?

Fiona Apple — “Criminal”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFOzayDpWoI#t=237

Criminal wasn’t full of nudity or sex, but it was so stylized and bold you cant turn away. Amazing song and sexy as hell proving that raunchy doesn’t always equal sexy.

Benny Benassi — “Satisfaction”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5bYDhZBFLA#t=80

I’m still not 100 percent sure what’s going on in this video but it stars British lad mag models Jerri Byrne, Thekla Roth and Natasha Mealey, American Playboy Playmate Suzanne Stokes and British Page 3 girl model Lena Franks. Power tools and models?

Duran Duran — “Girls on Film”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCjMZMxNr-0

“Girls on Film” became Duran Duran’s Top 10 breakthrough in the UK Singles Chart, peaking at Number 5 in July 1981. The song did not chart in the United States on its initial release as the video was so controversial at the time, for a while, it was only available on pay-per-view. Even nightclubs advertised they were playing the clip to get people in. MTV started running a very, very edited version then was re-issued in 1983.

Beyonce — “Naughty Girl”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZuJ_OHBN78

Beyonce’s one of the hottest women alive. Sorry but she’s married to, ya know, that guy who is way cooler than you.

Rihanna — “Stay”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JF8BRvqGCNs

The hit #1 in 7 countries and landed in the top 5 on 29 charts. Rihanna never shies away from saying how she feels, she sings earnestly, and in this clip entirely stripped down.
