“I Want Your Sex” by George Michael
The title of George Michael’s 1987 song was enough to warrant a ban, and not because it was excessively provocative. It is quite evident. In fact, “I Want Your Sex” was the first pop song to have the word “sex” in the title. The song from the former Wham! Superstar is from “Faith,” his debut solo album. It was prohibited during the daytime on radio stations in the United Kingdom and the United States. The single became platinum. Despite Michael’s emphasis on monogamy in the song video, MTV prohibited it during daylight hours to avoid propagating problematic subjects. It ranked third on MTV’s 2002 list of the Most Controversial Videos Ever Aired.
