Music Video of the Day: Wild, Wild West by The Escape Club (1988, directed by ????)


This song was considered to be very racy for its time (“safe sex!”) and, while the music video was a big hit on MTV, it was actually banned from British television.  An official reason for the ban was never announced, though it was speculated that the disembodied limbs were considered to be too disturbing for younger viewers.

According to the band, this video was actually meant to be a joke take on all of the over-sexualized music videos of the time.

Enjoy!
