Let’s have some fun, this beat is sick
I wanna take a ride on your disco stick
Don’t think too much just bust that kick
I wanna take a ride on your disco stick
Lyrics like these and sexually-charged visuals is why channel Ten’s in-house censors have rated Lady GaGa’s music video for her song Love Game M. It means the video is too hot to be shown during Video Hits G and PG safe Saturday morning timeslot.
Watch the Lady GaGa clip for Love Game:
According to the Herald Sun, ‘Ten’s censors objected to the lyrics “heavy touching”, “I’m educated in sex” and “I want it bad” as well as GaGa’s “sexual postures” in her dance moves, a near-naked outfit and her male dancer’s “fetish-like costumes”.’
Video Hits producer Ben Fletcher says they aren’t able to edit the video without destroying the intent of the original, but they’d run a clip if they were provided with one suitable for the music video show’s timeslot.
Ten’s playing by the rules, but I wonder if they’ll make the same call on future episodes of Californication? Channel Nine is no stranger to incorrect classifications.
