* Music/CeeLoGreen's "Forget You" (the clean version of "Fuck You") uses this trope once in the music video. When teenage Cee Lo says "Ain't that some shh?", he puts a finger to his lips at the last word.

* The BloodhoundGang's "Fire Water Burn" is an interesting example. In the video, when you hear Jimmy Pop sing "Burn motherfucker, burn," the video shows him making a strained face instead of pronouncing "fucker". In the censored version of the song, "fucker" is replaced with a donkey's bray.

In music videos for songs that contain swearing, individuals in the videos (usually the vocalists) may be filmed putting their fingers to their lips in place of saying the offending words. This action often occurs in music videos when the song's swear words have already been censored, such as with a "shh" sound.

* In ThirdEyeBlind's [="Semi-Charmed Life"=], the whole song is about crystal meth, but the drug is only mentioned by name once. When it's mentioned in the video, the lead singer covers his mouth with his hand to prevent uncensored lip-reading.
* PanicAtTheDisco's video for "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies" at the word "whore". Complete with a "shh" sound. Later, Brendon Urie very blatantly covers or makes a cross over his mouth when he's onscreen for the "goddamn", apparently in reference to the issue of taking God's name in vain.
