Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax - The Banned Version

Jun 13, 2011 20:46

Don't ask me why, but I love this video. At the time it was considered too gay,and so they made that idiotic one where all of the girls are rushing the stage and grabbing the members of the band. As IF. And it's a great song. Sorry the audio quality isn't better. RELAX and enjoy!

i heard some kids saw the video and didn't even get that it was sexual stuff, they just thought it was some sort of weird party.

BWAHAAAHA! Well, I mean it is some kind of weird party.

At the time it was considered too gay
Now would you say it isn't gay enough? LOL.
And it looks like they made it with the purpose of having it banned, and still have it go around viral. I mean, seriously?

The idea that someone could fail to see the sexual, ahem, innuendos is amazing.

Thank you for posting this!

Back when this video was made, "going viral" wasn't a concept at all. Putting video on a computer was still a gleam in the programmer's eye. I could go on about the early days of music videos, but instead you should go to YouTube and look at the official video, which has the band onstage and the lead singer is wearing an overcoat (just so you watch the right one).

Thanks for clarifying! [Unfortunately, I need a clarification not because I was too young when Relax came out but because then as now I was too busy being a fulltime geek to care about music videos.]

What? You mean MTV wouldn't air this in the '80s? Heh.

Impressive: so many kinks in so little time. That's a lot to, ahem, pack, into 4 minutes.

If you like slightly more subtle gay innuendo, you have to see the Colbert ep I just watched. I could not stop laughing. Well, it's only subtle to people who are not fluent in teh gay. The studio audience didn't seem to get them all.
