In the Raw (film)

In the Raw is a 2009 documentary film about Lubricated Goat's nude appearance on Australian TV.

In November 1988, Andrew Denton's Blah Blah Blah program caused a nationwide stir by allowing guitar group Lubricated Goat to perform on Australian Broadcasting Corporation TV completely naked. The resulting media frenzy jammed phone lines as the public debated this supposed decline in Australian media standards.

In The Raw dispels myths which have arisen as a result of Lubricated Goat's nude appearance by exposing the politics, censorship, and nudity of this event through extensive interviews with the members of the band, ABC Management, and the Blah Blah Blah production team. The project was directed by Cousin Creep and made for Happening Films of Melbourne, Australia.

In the Raw debuted on Friday 11 December, at the 19th Meredith Music Festival Outlands Ecoplex Cinema.

In the Raw (song)

"In the Raw" is a 2007 single by Swedish glam metal band Crashdïet. This was the first single to feature the band's new lead singer H. Olliver Twisted on vocals, since their original singer Dave Lepard died in January 2006. This song appears as the opening track on the band's 2007 album, The Unattractive Revolution. The song debuted at #35 on the Swedish singles chart. The song's name and chorus is based on the album Live...In the Raw by the Heavy Metal band W.A.S.P which have been a major influence on the sound of Crashdïet.
