The original song was also banned from BBC radio for suggestive lyrics (the constantly repeated “when you want to come” especially), which actually ended up being outdone by the suggestiveness of the song’s ad campaign.
The video was quickly banned by the BBC for… well, all of that.
It features the lead wrestling a tiger onstage for a crowd of mustached hunks, a Caeser-esque bear who presides over the club stripping down to a leather thong, and ends with the main character fully a part of the crowd and grinding into another man from behind.
The original video for this ‘80s new wave anthem follows the gradual descent of a suit-and-tie type down the rabbit hole of an underground leather bar.
