A controversial music video is one that leads to prolonged public disagreement or heated discussion.
There have been many of music videos that have done, and continue to do just that. A perfect example of such a music video is Like a Prayer by Madonna.
 

This song was released in 1989 and stirred up massive controversy an is widely regarded as one of the most controversial music videos of all time.
The video featured Jesus being portrayed as an African American man, and Madonna kissing him etc.
Along with that Madonna is shows dancing in a field of burning crosses. This may have been seen as more controversial in the time it was released that now mostly due to the fact that in modern society, we see things that are worse that this all the time, such a music video being released today would most certainly not get the sort of reaction it did in 1989. Nevertheless, this song was seen as extremely controversial and offended many religious and non religious people alike.
