pause at 1:40 to see, as I did, so you can tell me whether there is an eye of Horus in the greenery in the lower right of the screen, or if I'm crazy
mmm... not so much. I can see what you're referring to, but even if it looked exactly like an eye of horus (which it doesn't quite) I'd still figure it was accidental. I do love these sorts of clue hunts though. It's why I enjoy Hugh, although he's his own worst enemy sometimes. I think it was the kids magazine Ranger Rick that had a puzzle in every issue where you had to find pictures hidden inside a big picture. I loved those sorts of puzzles as a kid. I guess I still do.
The first thing I thought of upon looking at the Bowie video (the link after that does not work) was Rae Dawn Chong's character (Ika) in
Quest for Fire. The female dancer in the Bowie video is a dead ringer for that character, down to the dreads and the make up around the eyes. Quest for Fire was released in 1981. I could not find any good pics of Ika but here's a link to a you tube video that has her in one of the funnier scenes.

Of course there's the green Orion slave girls from Star Trek:
Star Trek aired from 66 to 69.
Speaking of noticing strange things...
The Survive Bowie video you posted has a skull sitting unobtrusively on the counter next to the stove. It's included in a number of shots, but is never really in focus or placed in the frame where it grabs your attention. In several shots the skull is directly behind Bowie's face in the frame. Other than Bowie and the table and chair floating around and the boiled egg levitating the whole space is rather normal, except for the skull on the counter top. Of course as a symbol it fits thematically, but I thought it was odd nonetheless.
