Wham!-Careless Whisper

George Michaels is undeniably one of the most iconic sex symbols of the eighties. This sultry hit from 1984, entiltled: "Careless Whisper" was one of the biggest hits of George's career and reached the top of the pop charts in over 25 countries and sold 6 million records world wide. The song's elegant video features a very hirsute Michaels singing in a tuxedo while holding onto a somewhat phallic rope (?) and as expected also gallivanting around town with various women...especially one who appears particularly attractive while lounging on a yacht in a white full piece bathing suit . As the story progresses in the video however, you realize she isn't the woman whom George is truly lusting after, and it ends with him sad and alone...fitting for a song featuring a prominent saxophone solo.
