Unfortunately, I can't see the videos from my computer at work (we don't have video or sound cards in our computers) but there was a Duran Duran video....it was either Rio or Hungry Like the Wolf, I can't remember which one that was what was considered explicit due to nudity (I realize that our mates across the pond don't understand) and was never aired on MTV.

When I turned 18, this was 1986, the drinking age finally became 21 throughout the entire U.S. but Washington D.C. was one of the last areas to conform. I was right at a cut-off point when it became law but I got grand-fathered in meaning that I turned 18 just before they changed the law to 21 so I was allowed to legally go to pubs or bars in D.C. and Georgetown was only about a 35 minute drive from my house.

A group of us used to go bar hopping back then and I distinctly remember going to one bar that played dance style music with a projector screen of the music video in the background. Sure enough they played the censored Duran Duran video and I think just about every male in the bar stopped dancing, talking, whatever, and just completely gawked at the video....I think there was a big round of applause after it was played since it was the first time any of us had ever seen it.
