How does a rock star who used to make a living shocking suburban moms get back into the music game, while simultaneously getting over the end of his marriage to a famous pinup model? If you’re Marilyn Manson, you shoot some “wild” sex scenes for your next video with your new barely-legal actress girlfriend who is half your age. (Oh, and don’t forget to cover your naked bodies in blood, for that extra creepy goth vampire vibe!) Not surprisingly, that strategy also works for Spanish-language act Los Planetas, who may or may not be getting over a bad breakup with their video that comes about as close as you can get to showing actual sex without actually showing real sex—and replaces the fake blood with monkey outfits and banana blowjobs. We’re not really complaining about the continued sexification of the music video medium, but we are wondering why more artists don’t just use clips from actual porn movies and stripper-filled cable TV shows instead. That way, musicians save money on smoke machines and we get better tunes to go along with our smut. Everybody wins!
