Lady Gaga’s music video “Telephone” has set the Internet on fire and subjected 15 million people to the pleasure of girl-on-girl action. Lady Gaga’s clearly not the first lady to love another lady in a music video — music videos LOVE gratuitous lesbian makeouts! Well, for the last 15-20 years.

You know what’s interesting/predictable? Despite the ubiquity of the lesbian makeout trope in music videos, rarely is the maker-outer the actual musician or a band member [even in queer-lady videos, of which, let’s be honest here lesbians-who-are-about-to-yell-at-me, there are not many good queer-lady videos] [The Eth, Indigo Girls, Tracy Chapman, kd lang, & 4 Non Blondes make their most well-played music videos totally sans lesbian content]. In fact, it’s usually male musical artists who feature “lesbian” themes in their videos. Notable girl-on-girl videos have come from Blink 182, Queens of the Stone Age, Aerosmith, 50 Cent, Rolling Stone, Nelly, Metallica, and Lords of Acid. AMONG OTHERS.

So, aside from Lady Gaga’s dyketastic Thursday sexplosion on “Telephone,” what other ladies have gone for the makeout?

Here’s just a few on the tip of our tongues:

1. Madonna – Erotica & Justify My Love

Erotica (1992) — Remember when Madonna was still edgy? Let us refresh your memory:

Madonna pretty much paved the sexual way for female musical artists, and she also made out with Amanda Cazalet in Justify my Love (1990). “Justify my Love” is so ’90s, and again we have her making out with a lady for the benefit of a dude, but there’s a part where she actually has sex on camera, which is one of a few reasons why this video was banned on most outlets… even from allegedly progressive MTV. Oh, ’90s Madonna, you endlessly beautifully raunchy world-changing creature.

2. Pink — Sober

Let’s not forget when Pink decided to make out with a girl, she made out with um, herself!

3. Dragonette — I Get Around

Embedding unfortunately disabled by request, but in this video THE ACTUAL WOMAN FROM DRAGONETTE sings about how she likes to get around with lots of people, which includes lesbians and dudes. Audiostraddle recently caught Dragonette in concert, at an intimate lesbian club where Martina Sorbara was rocking an alternative lifestyle haircut.

4. t.a.T.u. — All The Things She Said

Oh t.a.T.u, what else can we say about you that dear Stef hasn’t said already. Best/worst fake lesbians of all time.

+
5. Other lady-bands with girl-on-girl videos include The Sounds’ Tony the Beat…

6. Shiny Toy Guns’ Le Disko. I wish Shiny Toy Guns really did play live concerts in clubs where cute lesbians make out with each other:

And a few of the dude bands with girl-on-girl scenes:

Minus.Plus. — Love Song: I don’t really know what the context of this video is or what kind of story they are trying to tell or why they picked a lesbian couple to be the cute couple making out and walking on the beach for this video, but they sure are cute!

If you’re not into the Vans Warped Tour, you might want to watch it on mute. I personally loved the Vans Warped Tour. Beware; unhappy ending!

+
Blink 182 — I Miss You: Blink 182 is wearing nice suits, and they miss you because you were always so full of life, jk why are all the girls in this video dead and/or catatonic? Oh! Except for the two ladies who are making out/fucking up each other’s lipstick. In the second half of the video, most of the girls wake up and stalk around ghostily in bad makeup.

She Wants Revenge — Written in Blood: What we have here is a straight male fantasy of a woman’s boyfriend picking a girl for her, and then her and that girl getting it on while he watches.

Tosca — Honey: Basically what happens here is someone from Germany is going to have to explain this 2002 German music video to me. Watch!

+
Queens of the Stone Age — 3s & 7s: Like Girltrash meets Telephone meets a bunch of straight guys playing rock ‘n’ roll music.

+
Simian Mobile Disco — Hustler: I think we’ve all happened upon this video simply because of the awesomely intensifying girl-on-girl sexy that takes place. And if you haven’t seen it yet, you’re in for a treat:

+
In conclusion, more girls should make out with girls on camera.

KELL ON EARTH:
Kelly Cutrone of the amazing show Kell on Earth wouldn’t let Bravo get away with not airing her trip to sex-positive toyshop Babeland:

Why was it important to you that Bravo air this on TV and not just the web?
This is a really beautiful women’s story, with a subject (sex) that is hard to talk about, and where women have a lot fewer role models. I visited Babeland because my doctor’s receptionist talked to me about her sex life – one woman reaching out to another woman to get this information. And vibrators have been one of women’s best kept secrets. Our show is about women and power, and now housewives are going to watch me shopping for sex toys, and see it as a fun and celebratory thing. (editor’s note: Kelly picked up the Bunny Love Kit, the SaSi vibrator, and some lube.)

What did you have to do to convince Bravo to air it on TV? Were they afraid of making viewers uncomfortable?
Oh no, it wasn’t that, it just didn’t fit as well into the existing storyline, so I had to convince them to crop a few minutes of interoffice arguing in order to bring vibrators to women in America. Really, do we have to see my printer break one more time? But the president and VP of Bravo are both women, and they liked the clip because it was funny, cool, and geared toward women.

QUEER CASTING:
“Indie feminist pornographer Courtney Trouble announced that she will be managing adult talent through LittlePinkBook.biz. The agency is poised to fill the need for ethical, professional casting assistance for unique, authentic performers — including but not limited to alternative, BDSM, fetish, queer, lesbian, and trans performers.”

LAZERTITS:
“For centuries the female bosom has been wrongfully held in the prison of maternal duty and manboy motor-boating. The time has come to blow the cell doors open for breasts! Howl for hooters! Get toasted by tits! Behold the Blazing boobs! It’s time to get ZAPPED!!!! LAZERTITS looks into the past and changes the future one broad at a time. What will YOU say when your kids ask where you were during the revolution? Don’t burn your bra, BLAST IT!!!” (@lazertits)

VINTAGE PIN-UP:
Olivia Henderson and Stef Van Der Laan do a special photo shoot at Interview Magazine: “Vintage-inspired underpinnings in sheers and nudes create a new kind of naughty femininity, evoking painterly John Currin-esque poses and a playful sexuality. Girls just want to have fun.” (@intervew)

HOW WE SLEEP:
A new survey reveals how our pre-sleep habits vary between ethnicities: It’s actually kinda stereotypical, I almost feel like they made it up. But it’s not like negative stereotypes so. Who knows. Apparently white people are too tired for sex, and Asians love computers. (@nydailynews)

SEXY TUMBLR ALERT:
fuck yeah lady love has its own banner special made. Also, girls send in their coming out stories, which are super-cute and remind us of #wheniknew. But this is the NSFW Sunday, so I am also here to tell you there’ll be pretty girls making out and lots of your favorite lesbian celebutants.
