Line 363:
* Steps were a very family-friendly pop group with many young fans, famous in Britain during the late 1990s-early 2000s. Their video for the song "Say You'll Be Mine" (a cheesy but clean love song) showed them re-enacting famous scenes from romantic movies, including the one from ''[[There's Something About Mary]]'' where Cameron Diaz spikes her hair up. We can only guess that young viewers weren't aware what she was using as hair gel in the original ...
* Every protest song during a dictatorship or totalitarian regime ever, if they want to get it past the censors.
* Bloodhound Gang just bowls right over the radar with almost blunt innuendos. Though most famously is
* The music video for "Is Anybody Out There?" by K'naan and Nelly Furtado features 3 different examples of this trope. At the beginning, when the emo looking girl is inside of the comic book store and the man asks her if she's gonna buy something, she yells "Shit! Leave me alone!" at him. Later on, some other girl sees her looking in the window of the restaurant she's eating in and she says "What a skank..." and then shortly after that, the emo girl writes STFU on the window of a restaurant and flips the bird at everyone inside. This video gets regular rotation on [[VH-1]].
* Huey Lewis and the News' "Power of Love" is a cheerful little pop ditty about the [[Power of Love]], right? And certainly appropriate for the soundtrack of a PG-rated film like ''[[Back to The Future]]'' (although heaven knows that film has a pretty long entry of its own on the film sub-page of this trope), right? Except that one of the ways that the lyrics describe the [[Power of Love]] is as "Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream...." So yeah, [[Blatant Lies|that's perfectly innocent]].
