Another weekend of Rage and this time, it's Fifty Shades Of Rage special and it's about the adults-only music videos and songs which got banned and censored on radio and music video shows along with MTV in America.
It's on 10.30am Saturday morning and 11.00pm Saturday night.

Hey Nicholas, are you sure you don't work for rage?

Re: Fifty Shades Of Rage special

No, I'm just picking each special or guest programmer for you and the Countdown fams to watch before next year's Rage Goes Retro.

Re: Fifty Shades Of Rage special

they're playing Sam Fox's 'Naughty Girls' and Sabrina's 'Sexy Girl'!

I suggested those on Facebook (though I hate visiting the rage page there... it's messy to read), I think a couple of weeks after they posted the topic, and they listened. I also suggested The 2 Live Crew's 'Me So Horny' and E-Rotic's 'Max Don't Have Sex With Your Ex' (which they've curiously listed as just 'Max' on the playlist), and they're there too.

Sabrina's 'Boys (Summertime Love)' appears twice on the playlist Maybe they're airing the uncensored version they normally air, and the black horizontal bars/letterboxed semi-censored version

Edit - oh, they fixed the duplicate 'Boys...' entries.

Re: Fifty Shades Of Rage special

A few CAMP gems on rage tomorrow night on there BANNED videos special * Vanity 6 - Nasty Girls, Belouis Some - Imagination, Sabrina - Sexy Girl, Samantha Fox - Naughty Girls Need Love Too and Pet Shop Boys - Being Boring ... The rest is a yaaaaawn ...

Re: Fifty Shades Of Rage special

Nathan, 'Sexy Girl' - Sabrina! Wasn't that originally on your programming list when you won the competition a few years ago. Didn't they say they didn't have it? So, a real treat tonight, hey? I will be glad to finally get the '87 clip of 'Here I Go Again' off rage and not the original 1982 version they always play. 'Rock Me Tonite' also a treat.

I'm hoping 'Girls On Film' is the extended, naughty version, but I'm thinking it might be too rude for rage. Dunno?

What's with 'Lady In Red'? I thought that clip was pretty lame in every way.

Re: Fifty Shades Of Rage special

Good to see Billy Squire's Rock Me Tonite. Surprised Divinyls - I Touch Myself didn't make the cut.

Re: Fifty Shades Of Rage special

D A M N you rage! They played the '82 version of 'Here I Go Again'. What is sexy about that clip? I was 100% sure it was the '87 version with the sexy woman all over the car.

On another note, 'Sexy Girl' cracks me up.

Yes, it was on my playlist and they told me they didn't have it. Obviously, someone has since rediscovered it in the vault . The video is so bad that it's good. It also cracks me up, too.

I remember hearing 'Sexy Girl' for the first time on Take 40 Australia. I knew most songs before they hit the chart at that time, but 'Sexy Girl' had eluded me. I wonder if people only bought it because of the sleeve

Was 'Girls On Film' the extended one? I didn't record the whole clip.

I remember someone at rage saying they didn't have any Samantha Fox videos in early 2010, too... so they must have dug 'Naughty Girls' out of the vault as well . They've also played 3 other clips of hers between then and now... let's hope they have more

I was a bit puzzled by 'Lady In Red' being on the playlist, too. I suppose maybe because it was a popular 'romantic' song in the 80's? Though none of the other clips on the special were really about 'romance'... more in your face, overtly sexual

Re: Fifty Shades Of Rage special

Yep, 'Girls on Film' was the extended and would have been the vid that lived up to this special.

Re: Fifty Shades Of Rage special

Noticed Naughty Girls was a short version and not the extended (naughtier)version they used to play. Was great to see Imagination again. Had not seen that since the very early days of Rage
