1980's
The first ever video to be banned on MTV was in fact "Body Language" by Queen this was due to homoerotic undertones, lack of clothing and the amount of sweat shown in the video! During this era this was seen as unsuitable for the television audience!
Not only did MTV ban videos, the BBC banned the song "Girls on film" as they thought it was to sexual. Showing several sexual fetishes though out the video.
1990's
Shocking in 1991 MTV banned a danced sequence by the king of pop Micheal Jackson as it was said that he was touching himself inappropriately in the video. The most controversial video of Michael's was "They don't care about us" being banned from MTV, VH1 and even BBC because stating the alleged anti-semantic tone of the song.
The most famous song known to every girl born in the 90's which was banned was "Like a Virgin" by Madonna. This video was banned due to the highly sexual connotations. Some other of her songs were banned because of the reference to homosexuality and group sex in "Justify My Love".
