The song was later included in the trio 's Greatest Hits ( 2000 ) album . It samples `` I 'll Take You There '' by the Staple Singers . An alternate version of the song entitled `` Let 's Talk About AIDS '' was released to radio on a promotional single and included as a b - side on various singles for the song . The lyrics were changed to more directly address the spread of AIDS and HIV . Music video ( edit ) The music video for `` Let 's Talk About Sex '' directed by Millicent Shelton starts in a black - and - white scene with a girl turning on a radio and listening to the song . Then she starts kissing her boyfriend and scenes of Salt - n - Pepa and other couples kissing and hugging are shown . Next the video colorizes when Salt - n - Pepa are shown dancing . Another version of the video has a scene in which a skeleton is shown after the word ' AIDS ' with a stamp saying ' censored ' in its mouth . Cover versions ( edit ) German singer / band leader Max Raabe and Palast Orchester covered in cabaret / big band style for his 2001 album Super Hits . The chorus was sampled in Pretty Ricky 's 2006 single , `` On the Hotline '' . The song was featured in the riff - off scene in the 2012 film Pitch Perfect . It was also song by a choir of seniors in the 2012 film Song for Marion , released in the United States as Unfinished Song . The EDM groups Cheat Codes and Kris Kross Amsterdam re-use the song 's chorus in their 2016 single , `` Sex '' . This song , however , takes a more pro-sex R&B approach to the theme than the original , with new verses and dance - focused production . Chart performances and awards ( edit ) The song was certified gold by the RIAA and peaked at No. 13 at the Billboard Hot 100 chart . In the purely sales - based UK Singles Chart , the song hit No. 2 , and in the German singles chart , the song hit No. 1 , the first original song by an American hip - hop act to achieve that feat . It also hit No. 1 in the Australian ARIA Singles Chart . In 1992 , the song was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group .
