lol, ever been to a nasty gay club, where guys are sitting in the urinal, begging you to pee on them? I have.

Frankie goes to Hollywood were the in thing in the eighties. Relax, Two Tribes, and best of the lot... the Power of Love. To me Holly Johnson was God... my idol. He was super cool !!!

Relex is so timeless, they were years ahead of their time back then, especially the 12" versions of Frankie goes to Hollywood are the best 12" versions out there. I was born in 68, so I heard the track as a teenager in a discotheque, that time is unforgettable for me.

If you watch the other "laser" version, Apparently, other than Holly Johnson none of the people in the 'band' even played on the recording. The guitar player had barely even started learning to play.

[@tree1568]

Still funny. Love that their late night DJs still played it anyway

[@greva2904]

Radio 1 DJ and kids tv presenter Mike Read was the idiot who announced live on air that he would never play Relax on the radio ever again, and the rest of the BBC quickly followed suit. It gave Frankie the kind of publicity and notoriety that money just couldn’t buy. Good on ya Mike, you dumb old prude!
