VISUALS… THE TEN GAYEST PSB VIDEOS

If there’s a PSB video, there’s a gay subtext!

-

Being Boring (1990)

Considered by many PSB fans as their greatest tune, photograph­er Bruce Weber made his debut video via this voguish black-and-white clip with bonus male nudity. Woo.

New York City Boy (1999)

A handsome blond sees dancing seamen and homo-glitziness before arriving at seminal NYC discothequ­e Studio 54 where PSB are playing. Befittingl­y camp.

Se A Vida é (1996)

Featuring then-unknown Eva Mendes (now married to Ryan Gosling) this was the second of three videos Bruce Weber directed for PSB. Cue black-and-white hotties.

Home And Dry (2002)

Controvers­ial at the time, it follows mice filmed at London’s Tottenham Court Road tube station, directed by button-pushing queer filmmaker, Wolfgang Tillmans.

I Get Along (2002)

Ditching the political subtext of the lyrics for his final PSB video, Bruce Weber stuffs this full of lithe, lovely lads direct from his Bear Studio.

Hallo Spaceboy (1996)

More a colab than a remix, David Bowie asked the Boys to join him on this, which would be his last major hit. Like PSB’s rework of Madonna’s Sorry, Neil shares vocals.

It’s A Sin (1987)

Directed by Derek Jarman (also director of that year’s Rent video), this was an OTT masterpiec­e of Catholic guilt depicting the seven deadly sins. Gay sin at its finest!

Can You Forgive Her? (1993)

From their back-on-form Very album, the video for its lead single (about not facing up to your sexuality) saw PSB in silly hats and vivid outfits with spacey computer graphics.

Domino Dancing (1988)

Directed by photograph­er Eric Watson, and shot in steamy Puerto Rico, this is a great example of homoerotic­ism in the music video genre from the 1980s.

I’m With Stupid (2006)

Sidesteppi­ng the song’s overt political overtones, this goofy video featured Little Britain’s Matt Lucas and David Walliams making a mockery of PSB videos. Ha!

Loneliness (2024)

With a nod to Being Boring, this is the gayest thing PSBs have done in years with a bounty of nude hunks staring longingly at each other. Directed by fashion snapper Alasdair McLellan.
