Ministry of Sound releases Sessions 6 compilation. Said compilation features new single from Tommy Trash called Need Me to Stay. Ministry releases raunchy video clip to promote single. It’s a pretty standard series of events, but do you think ninemsn were pleased with how it all went down? Oh no, course they weren’t! The news outlet were up in arms over the clip, questioning whether it should be classified as a “music video” or as “soft-core porn” instead.

“We reckon that the only people who make porn-ier video clips than rappers are dance music DJs,” ninemsn said, beating its chest in frustration at just how bad things have gotten. “Don’t believe us? The screenshot above isn’t from a blue movie… it comes straight from the clip for Tommy Trash’s track Need Me to Stay off the new album Ministry of Sound Sessions Six. The clip is basically three steamy minutes of two scantily clad girls rubbing up against each other in a shower.”

Wow. A dance music clip featuring several scantily clad ladies. It’s most definitely a first for the industry, and it needs to be stopped before it gets out of hand. At least there ain’t no accusing Need Me to Stay of being gender discriminatory. “Before you protest the clip is sexist, it also features a hot Speedo guy to appeal to the girls and the gays.” Well, at least “the gays” are being kept happy! There’s a silver lining on this cloud of titillating exploitation after all.

Here at ITM, we’d like to point out that there’s nothing really new about softporn in dance music clips (we’ve arguably been doing it for just as long as those “rappers”, and maybe even “the gays”). Need Me to Stay aint got nothing on Eric Prydz’s notorious Call on Me, and you might remember a few weeks ago ITM put together a gallery of the “Top 15 moments of sexploitation in dance music”. Solely for the sake of drawing attention to this immoral practice of course, so it can be stopped…

I love how they say 'blue movie'. Who talks like that? Not even my Grandpa would say that. Maybe Alf from Home and Away. Is he editing ninemsn this week or something?

libby said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

I recommend watching with the sound down

haha i love the term 'scantily clad'. lets not forget the clip appeals to gay girls aswell....heaven forbid.

ladyflash said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

The girls look like they could do with a meal

shazzy06 said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

check out lady gagas papparazzi clip and tell me that isnt borderline softcore porn...

Things I have learnt from this clip... gay people are stupid, gay people shower in swimming costumes, gay people party harder after being electrocuted and gay women need a token gay guy to be level-headed enough to cut the power to avoid certain death...

kitch said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

Its a top track and not really that porn at all! Ninemsn have no idea!

kitch said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

you forgot to mention a signing hair dryer!! this clip gets better and better every view!! top work!

Dexter Ramone said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

Duran Durans "Girls on Film" comes to mind. This is clearly not a new thing NineMSN!

wilbarrett said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

I agree that "soft-porn" music videos are not new, and that rnb has been doing it for a long time - but the fact that ninemsn are raising this issue is definitely not a bad thing. its degrading to women and it appeals to primal human instincts - the fact

singleton said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

i had the hairdryer singing. how is this even porn. have a look at 'Special D come with me' that could be soft porn in one bit.

Spicy said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

tracy grimshaw is a fucking cunt.

campbellt said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

I wouldn't be serprised if 'Ministry of Sound' started the article in the media just to promote it even bigger....

Knate said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

I got told on the weekend how many hits the film clip actually had on ninemsn. probably more traffic then msn had recieved all year, you think they would be happy. or it's just a PR stunt to get more traffic

SA_spec said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

lol. it does actually seem like the producers of this music and video clip dont even thry anymoer - if 9 reported on the level of creativty as opposed to the pathetic level of raunchiness i might actually have respected them for a tiny second.

N.E.R.D - Lapdance.... The uncut version is not kinda like soft porn... it is porn

Goldy Charmers said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

Ah yeah i agree..NERD's Lapdance uncut kills it on the porn level. Imagine if these ninemsn guys saw that LOL. They would prolly go into a seizure

Lee Michaels said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

the only hot thing that clip is the blow dryer!!LOL

Ruthykins said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

that song is terrible >.<

traceyaustralia1975 said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

Very sexy clip!! And the track is pumping. I first heard it on Clubbers Guide a little while back. I think this track will do HUGE things for Tommy. It was listed in Beatports Top 50 anthems to listen out for this year ...... !!!!!

Edstacee said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

Its only soft porn if the chicks have B cups> Also, I would think the snuff element of the chicks getting electrocuted slots it in to the "hard core" category haha..Sorry to ruin the surprise. Shit song.

rentboyesq said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

Integrated marketing/hype posturing as 'news', pure and simple. My Hotmail account's main page has an MOS-branded link to "Win a trip! Valued at $12,000." Click it, and it takes you to a page that is liberally covered with Sessions Six promo material: "B

shit clip shit song. end entry

The only decent "sexy" dance clip in history is Aphex Twin's Windowlicker - probably because it takes the absolute p$$$ out of stewpid dance/hip-hop videos... Women gyrating in bikini's to sub-standard euro-trash techno is sooo boring...

I like it! Go Tommy!!

Natalijaa said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

Looks like those 2 girls need to eat a good meal ...

haha go tommy. lookin forward to ministry. never thought i would say that.

Miaow Mix said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

Song is crappetity crap crap. At least Call On Me was sorta catchy.

Lady Lex said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

libby: my work computer doesnt have speakers. I did :D

Verbil said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

Agreed, 'Windowlicker' nails it. This, however, is yet another ordinary track from an incredibly sub-standard compilation. The fact that it needs a video of this nature to get people talking about it speaks volumes.

S2333 said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

I found that so boring.

chamellieon said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

Oh! A forgotten clip... Benny Benassi's "Whos your Daddy" is far more porno than some of those listed.... seriously... there's an uncut version too if you search Google Video enough (cant find on youtube)

TysanKlai said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

HA BEEN REMOVED. HILARIOUS

alice_in_wonderland said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

I'd like to see any of you guys do better. I think it's great, it's got all of you talking about it and now you've all listened to and watched the clip, therefore it's doing well. Gpodluck to Tommy Trash I say!

Warren G said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

mr wilson do rock though!

tweg said on the 22nd Jun, 2009

Bob Sinclar ft Cerrone - Give Me Love. Awesome CLIP!!!!!!!

Brother Al said on the 23rd Jun, 2009

Jesus... what a waste of 3:38minutes of my day. There's nothing soft porn about it, and teh song is absolute garbage. In fact, thats is one of the worst video clips i have ever seen.

angy said on the 23rd Jun, 2009

video replaced! ;)

CameronM said on the 23rd Jun, 2009

that is so disturbing. what artistic merit is there in having the girls electrocuted???????????????????????

ar-bee said on the 23rd Jun, 2009

i didnt see any nipples so how is this softcore porn? ;)

wild_comfort said on the 23rd Jun, 2009

horrible song, d grade film clip

Neil UPP said on the 23rd Jun, 2009

How can we be taken seriously on an international level when we are producing and sending rubbish like this overseas? It sounds like the theme song for a year ten formal.

rancho said on the 24th Jun, 2009

the only women who would feel degraded by this are the obese ones.

Danikan said on the 24th Jun, 2009

And Tommy Trash sits at home saying "Thank you for the extra free publicity Ninemsn"

CABANA BOY said on the 25th Jun, 2009

Ha! Really?

Rarerah said on the 25th Jun, 2009

The most outrages thing to me is that they look like skeltor, get some boobs then i might consider it soft porn.

Mickeyspace said on the 25th Jun, 2009
