* The video for "Call On Me" by Eric Prydz notoriously consisted entirely of busty women doing eroticised aerobics in {{Stripperiffic}} gymwear.

* Music/{{Beyonce}}'s. The video for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" anyone? How about the videos for "Crazy in Love", "Drunk In Love", "Baby Boy" or "Partition"?

** And then there's a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFrlFeK8guY clip]] by Creator/MontyOum of ''WebAnimation/DeadFantasy'' fame, with [[VideoGame/DeadorAlive Kasumi]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Tifa, and Cissnei]] moving it to "Obsessed".

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4JfPlry-iQ Bo$$]]" by Fifth Harmony, which marked the start of their current "feminism is sexy" phase.

* Music/{{Madonna}} was an early pioneer for overtly sexual music movements in videos. This made a comeback in the video for 2008's "Celebration".
** Madonna was also a pioneer in doing this live. See her 1984 MTV VMA performance.

* Music/{{Rihanna}}, "Umbrella".

* Music/QueenAdreena's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqTxjfPmQw8 'I Adore You']] contains much writhing by scantily-clad vocalist Katie-Jane Garside, but it is of an unnerving quality.

* The video for Music/FlorenceAndTheMachine's cover of "You've Got The Love".

* Music/NickiMinaj's videos usually qualify.
** Especially notable is the video for "Massive Attack", which takes this trope literally and has a bunch of double jointed soldiers writhing.

* Literally done by Sharon den Adel in most of Music/WithinTemptation's music videos, although she prefers elaborate gowns to skimpy outfits. See "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmLIE6ULtyU Ice Queen]]".

* Akon's "Sexy Bitch" features dancers in bikinis. WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows says that it's borderline pornography.

* Music/ArianaGrande's music video for "[[https://youtu.be/g5qU7p7yOY8 Love Me Harder]]" features her posing, stroking herself, and wearing a bra and short skirt the entire time.

* Though none of the actual musicians do it themselves, Creator/RobinThicke, T.I. and Pharrell's "Blurred Lines" video involves them dancing with three female models in {{Stripperific}} attire (or in the explicit version, just panties) who are doing this.

* Gali's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_aI8n4CTVE "I'm Alive"]] video has her [[{{Gainaxing}} flaunting her moneymakers]] in [[SpandexLatexOrLeather a gold latex bra.]]

* Minus all the jet fighter footage, the music video of "Danger Zone" stars with Kenny Loggins singing in a bedroom, then landing on his bed, then writhing around until the song climaxes ([[TheImmodestOrgasm and apparently, him too.]]) The HoYay apparently was too powerful to stay in [[Film/TopGun the film]] itself.

* In Void Vision's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHS_PB7Uyyw "The Source"]] video, Shari Vari's main outfit consists of a plastic wrap minidress over a thong.

* Music/{{Morrissey}}'s "November Spawned A Monster". a pretty odd choice because the actual song is about the plight of a disabled woman, and midway through the song an actress, apparently portraying said woman, starts letting out terrifying unintelligible cries. This makes sense if you're paying attention to the lyrics, but if you're too busy watching Morrissey suggestively writhe around rock formations in a desert while wearing tight pants and a mesh v-neck shirt, it just seems inexplicable. When the video appeared on WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead, Beavis commented "quit whining, go out and get a job and some good clothes... and another thing, stay away from old rocks!"

* [[Music/TakeThat Take That]] had a fair bit of that in their 90s videos.

* Mastodon's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWFWazj7Ud8 "The Motherload"]] plays with this trope. Starts off like a generic metal video, switching between "symbolic" scenes and shots of the band, but by the first chorus the trope is parodied by having several girls {{ShakingTheRump}} appear in contrast to the bleak color and haunting images. The trope then zig-zags to subversion at the bridge when the video becomes about the girls and their dance battle/party, while the band becomes the "background dancers."

* Dear gods, the video for Music/{{Billy Squier}}'s "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR0j7sModCI Rock Me Tonight]]." It depicts Squier, decked out in a getup that looks like it was stolen from Jennifer Beals' {{Film/Flashdance}} wardrobe, flailing effeminately around a pastel-lit bedroom and writhing on pink satin sheets.

* The PetShopBoys' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ik2YF05iX2w "Domino Dancing"]] has this with the latex minidress-wearing female dancer.

* MileyCyrus' music videos for "Can't Be Tamed", "Who Owns My Heart", "Party In The USA", and "We Can't Stop". [[UpToEleven Especially the last one]], [[SurrealMusicVideo aside from weird imagery]].

* NellyFurtado got into this during her ''Loose'' phase, most notable in "Promiscuous" and "Maneater". She's a bit more tame than most examples on this list, however.
* JenniferLopez, particularly in "On the Floor" and "Love Don't Cost a Thing".
* KatyPerry's "California Gurls".

A MusicVideo trope, frequently done with female solo artists, but also with dozens of male R&B/pop performers. It involves them dancing about in a skimpy/{{fanservice}}y outfit for the entirety (or vast majority) of the video. Seems to be a ''very'' OverdosedTrope as of 2010s (and here's no sign of receding) - to the point where it's often easier to name the music videos that ''don't'' adhere to this trope.
