Recordings containing strong lyrics are classified into 4 categories:

Level 1 – Warning: moderate impact coarse language and/or themes;

Level 2 – Warning: strong impact coarse language and/or themes;

Level 3 – Restricted: high impact themes. Not to be sold to persons under 18 years; and

Exceeding level 3 – not to be released or sold.

Recordings which include visual images, for example an audiovisual recording of a concert, are considered a film and may need to be classified by the Classification Board.

10 banned music videos

Prodigy – smack my bitch up

Prodigy's 1997 video for "Smack My Bitch Up" was banned in some countries due to depictions of drug use and nudity.

Queen – Body language

The first video to be banned by MTV was Queen's 1982 hit "Body Language." Due to thinly veiled homoerotic undertones plus lots of skin and lots of sweat (but apparently not enough clothing, save that worn by the fully clothed members of Queen themselves), it was deemed unsuitable for a television audience at the time.

Madonna – Erotica

Madonna's video for "Erotica" was aired only three times (each time after midnight) due to its sexual depictions of sadomasochism.

The shamen – Ebeneezer goode

In 1992, The Shamen's video for the song "Ebeneezer Goode" was banned by the BBC due to its perceived subliminal endorsement of the recreational drug Ecstasy.

Bjork – Cocoon

Cocoon was banned from airplay on MTV due to a nude Bjork dancing in the video.

Justice – Stress

In 2008, Justice's video for their song "Stress" was boycotted by several major music television channels due to allegations of racism and violence; the video depicts several youths committing various crimes throughout the streets of Paris, with the youths mainly being of North African descent.

Robbie Williams – Rock DJ

In 2000, the music video for "Rock DJ" by Robbie Williams caused controversy due to the graphic nature of the video which featured Robbie Williams appearing naked and peeling off his skin to reveal flesh. The video was censored in the UK and was only once broadcast uncensored at 2:00 AM. The video was banned in Dominican Republic due to allegations of satanism.

Duran Duran – Girls on film

The video for "Girls on Film" by Duran Duran, which featured topless women mud wrestling and other depictions of sexual fetishes, was banned by the BBC. MTV did air the video, albeit in a heavily edited form.

Motley cure – Girl Girls Girls

Mötley Crüe's video for "Girls, Girls, Girls" was banned by MTV for having completely nude women dancing around the members of the band in a strip club. Mötley Crüe did make another version of the video that was accepted by MTV.

Sex pistols – God save the queen

The Sex Pistols' video for "God Save the Queen" was banned by the BBC for calling the United Kingdom a fascist regime.

Storyboard and test pictuers

Here are some test shots we took at the locations we are thinking of filming at
