Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Relax

[grobah]

the cool thing is now this is just mainstream camp pop which means we are going in the right direction

[Guardiano91]

Lunico originale!

[BrazzMunki]

nip slip

[Exodianecross1978]

You can say just one thing at 3:07 : That's the human version of "Jabba the Hutt" *lol* ;-)!

[TheNEWfilmfanatic99]

To those that say this video is too gay: if you can't handle the fire, stay off the island. End statement.

[N0nc0nf0rmity]

Never saw this video for the song before. Love the song, but the fat guy with his beanbag swinging in the breeze was a bit much.

[SMDB82]

Worst. Video. Ever.

[SMDB82]

The fat dude with cream on his face looks like Jim Belushi

[SMDB82]

Love the synths

[armandin2048]

I hope the barmaid wasn't a tranny"!!

[JEIWILBER]

Gayish ! !

[Jeremiah5063]

awesome video. but i would feel sorry for the janitor who had to clean that bar.

[hitler19966]

where's FREDDY MERCURY haha !!!!

[armandin2048]

@hitler19966 Bent over somewhere with Elton out back probably

[BananaJSSI]

This was a very popular dance song back in the mid 1980's. It would always be played at the night clubs my gal and I would hang out at.

[lookingatcrap]

i caught crabs from watching this video

[menetjunky]

3:13 lmao

[larigopsolis]

VUVUZELA at 0:53 !

[themonster10007]

the song is very good! the video is also good and well filmed with a different plot til the end where it just goes weird and no wonder it first got band from MTV!

[Runbau75]

Jeg bare ler ! morsom setting !

[Riskiamo]

The eighties were amazing. This stuff is truly provocative and makes people like Gaga look like schoolgirls.

[sjtom57]

Good tune.

Lousy vid.

[SynthJocky]

Who cares if it's gay, It's a good song!

[grumpyyyyy]

This video makes me want to be gay; it just makes being gay so hardcore and sexy... I envy you guys and gals.

[radiobeefan]

A fucking work of filthy filthy ART. Genius! This must have had the moral majority reaching for their valium 26 years ago!! But also secretly wanking themselves into a pychosexual frenzy every time they heard the song. Jeasus christ, can you imagine this even getting recorded today. We are ativising as a species. Hey i think i just made up a new word! RELAX! Your OK!

[rolflmaoweeee]

lool true

[luismichelito]

uno de los grandes videos de los 80 espectacular

[mexicalth]

hahahhaa so GAY!!!!

[Ediva75]

They could not have shown this version of the Relax video in the states back in the 80's!! I was used to the concert video version of this song!! WOW- LMAO!!!

[mikeptaylor]

Woah, very gay - funny shit.

Did you know this was filmed at Wiltons Music Hall, same venue used in such hollywood blockbusters as "Interview With Some Vampires" and "The Krays".

RIP MJ

[daakuivory]

@Mikeptaylor Im so sick of -MJ- did you have to bring him up on a video that isn't even related too him? Someone could see a video about Dog shit and go RIP MJ, get over him! He wasn't even that popular when he first came out in the 80s and was washed up in the 90s-2000s suddenly he dies, and people wont STFU about him.

[vsander09]

I swear in the "original" original that at the end Holly Johnson is riding the fat emperor dude. No?

[tissoret]

tra i migliori video degli anni 80

[rhealimgalang]

guys do you know where i can find the video from the movie the proposal where oscar nunez was dancing this song?

[VrNghtOwl]

you got to love that MTV didnt want to show this video. so they made new Frankie video where the girls want chasing the GAYS guy in this video. im strait but think this video is much better. Fits the song better

[vsander09]

There were more than just 2 videos for this song. There was this one, the laser beams one, a live performance video and at least 1 other.

[Trumbot]

"Shaving the Fatman" has to be a euphemism for SOMETHING.

[frankkumon]

GAY??? I'M NOT GAY!!!

[mrblack4026]

one of the best video's from the eighties gay/ striaght or otherwise.... music ability is what counts..... fantastic song ....RELAX

[hotgeorge44]

WOW!!!!!!! amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[suetamluciano]

maravilhoso!

[massiveants]

is that rupert everette at the start of this 30 seconds in?

[drwhatson]

"just regular guys...Biker types!" OMG! How naive can you get??? - maybe that's why they're getting pissed on by the fat man in a nappy! LOL Probably the sleaziest video ever made. Great. Fabulous beat still.

[brandoncipelle]

This video is so great i love the guys in make-up plus holly johnson looks really really hott . Im not gay or anything but i can appreciate guys in Make-up and mmm sexynesss

[chuginbourbon]

I had always heard these guys were queers, but it is clear now that they are just regular guys- biker types even! And did you see how hot that bar maid is?!? I would eat her shit. And I am sure the same goes for the men of FGTH- normal, straight guys.

[winebone1]

Excuse me. What if they were queers? It really doesnt matter at all, the music will still be the same. I love the music even though, that I am living in a perfectly normal marriage with my female wife.

[pasrachilli]

You mean the tranny?

[HelloMarco]

chuginbourbon is right, just a normal biker bar. Nothing gay about this video at all. Anyone that says otherwise just has a desperate, sick mind.

[colmanstephenson]

Superb!

[wondakaiba93]

Love this version better then the other version. Love it!

[kiwihotty]

Wow didnt know about dis vid only seen the other one . Cool song but this vid is too much homo!!

[heavyboxes]

Wow.

I can't believe this exists. . .

I'm speechless.

[afdba]

i just LOVE the lyrics

[brandoncipelle]

Your right homos do suck, I bet they suck really good. hey im not gay but you know a bet aguy knows what another guy wants.

[lordflanderwell]

lolz...salty!

[pretzelberg]

My brother saw FGTH perform in B'ham just before the single was released. He told me how he was chatting with one of the female backing artists - before realising "she" was anything but.

The tragic irony, of course, is that this song/video was released just before HIV became a major issue.

But still: cheers to Channel 4 for doing the video.

[chicagocubs1994]

HOMOS SUCK

[tynesider2]

Not as much as chicagocubs1994 !! Idiot!

[lamano06]

Why do the all the gays start attacking Frankie? Is is because he insulted the fat guy that they are all worshiping?

[MOWLICIOUS]

bisexual orgies ftw

[evaniax]

It's not quite bi if it's with trannies... lol

[afdba]

i dont see any reason for this video to get banned from mtv. is it because there are half naked men in leather? discrimination sucks.

[chickenrocker]

it would have been banned because of the lyrics

[MissNovemberTuesday]

MTV may have banned this back in the day, but Night Flight used to show it. Along with the night version of Duran Duran's Girls on Film and Bowie's China Girl with his naked butt. I loved Night Flight!

[webstersafc]

when i was young, i didnt know what the song was on about and the video.. now i do

[UKpatriot90]

haha same here :P

[derekjcraig]

The song that saved the 80's - got banned on UK radio, then went straight to No 1 on the charts.

[bobacat21]

Suck that Banana schoolboy..

[pillifant]

ooh the dirty version love it!

[michaellindley12]

love this song!!!

[Infanterietrupp]

...the video is too gay for me xD

but the song is good...

[samanthafan09]

You do know Frankie is Gay.

[toyboyMcr22]

@Infanterietrupp Wot do you mean "too gay" ? ...this video shows the kind of gay nite club that some boyz enjoy. Live and let live.

[wraithguardian]

can someone please answer this question for me after watching this vid??? -"What the fuck is this?!?!?!"

[webstersafc]

its a song from the 80's, the group is gay, its in a gar bar, and the video i got banned(dunno about song).

the lead singer is dying of aids. =(

[kelfid]

Living with HIV for over 25 years educate yourself there is a difference. To let you know, we are all dying from the day we are born get use to it.

[HusarPl]

bannanas :D

[thaeasy]

hahaha loved this comment!

[KnockoffNigeI]

Was this Holly's first pussy? Great video it's sumptuous and abandoned, reminds me of a mannerist painting by Bronzino. Thank god for Frankie he saved the 80's with this.

[claudineretard]

dirty bastards lol

[jakemarkjane]

beast

[webstersafc]

great song, its on the british virgin advert for 25 years.

=)

[KenzieKatastrophe]

i wasn't even born in the 80's and i love this song (: it's my mom's favorite song so i've heard it more than enough times to love it :D

[FloydEdwards]

Wicked song. I've had this stuck in my head for how many years now? I can't believe I've finally found out what the song is from! The video and meaning behind the song is pretty dodgy, but it's still cool nonetheless :P

[valanx]

lol yeah it was alway the bass i loved about it...but lookin back its proper dodgy lol!!

[thettguy]

I think the meaning of the song-and the video for that matter--are pretty self-explanatory and easy to understand, actually. Its a song about gay sex. The video is set in a gay club and the practice that the song is singing about is a well known gay sex act called, "Delayed Gratification" where orgasm is delayed to prolong pleasure and lead to a more explosive orgasm in the end...straight couples practice it as well of course...but it gained notriety in the gay community.

[afdba]

i love the video!! :D

[skull991199]

GAY!!!! , but good song

[benovisoff]

This is wierd but still cool.

[eddface354]

lol jeez guys loosen up he isnt gay, no one in this video is gay. there just pissing around, im not gay, i dont wank over this vid and if someone likes it it doesnt make them gay. pull your head's out your asses and realise that that some guys made this video ages ago, mainly to shock people. to get publicity, to sell records. jesus. they arent gay, there just making a living.

[lordsunday23]

Actually Holly Johnson and Paul Rutherford are both gay. So, to correct you're statement, some of them were gay AND they were making a living. It's not mutually exclusive. :)

[lupeylew]

By the way Holly wasn't gay....he's my brother and happily married with 3 children and a dog!!!

[ILovPonyboyCurtis]

thats so cool! and informative...thanks i guess...now i no holly wasnt gay:)lol

[thettguy]

Didn't Holly die of Aids in 1988? I doubt he's your brother!

[lupeylew]

here here.....80's were all about the shock factor....now we are apparently so pc so then why the boobs and the backsides to sell music instead....bring back the good old days :-)

[by2004]

i remember watching this vid as a young kid on tv and wasn't quite sure what to make of it - catchy tune but some sketchy stuff going on. yrs later i realized what it was all about.

[gotwoody1]

HeyArnoldsspleen your nothing but a cock sucker so shut the fuck up bitch this is the shitest song ever i would rather listen to pink floyd than this crap

[JenxRodwell]

Well yeah, I would rather listen to pink floyd as well. But that doesn't make this song any less catchy.

[phre3k187]

damn, gay bars are fucked up

[hugglzallround]

Yes ...

This is exactly what all gay bars are like.

I mean there are half dressed leather clad men everywhere and there's always some old guy in a toga being fanned while getting a shave, before of course he throws a tantrum and tears his toga off.

And then there's the part where everybody starts jumping on each other and having a massive orgy with the singer from Frankie Goes to Hollywood riding some guy like a horsey.

Oh and don't forget the fortnightly "release of the tiger".

[MaxBarbour]

i think your being sarcastic but i would definately attend if this was the actual case!

[enzinax]

Great and nice song.

[sugarpuddin88]

Enjoying the film does "NOT" make you gay!

Enjoying the film does "NOT" turn you gay!

The only people who I have ever seen complain about this sort of thing are men who fear their own sense of sexuality:

Such as talk show host Michael Savage who in his own biography admits that he has always found naked men attractive, (and that he has had to fight his homosexual urges nearly all his life)

People aren't "turned" gay by observing some gay sex or something

[Viperkiller465]

Yes it does.

[CLS2086]

I remember that in Brian De Palma's Body Double film, there were an another release quite different ^_^

[mcat319]

lolololololol.

whenever i hear this song-- i think of zoolander :O D:

[NiHaoKeisha]

LOL I think of Zoolander too!!

[Maxkillian]

And people worry about Marilyn Manson being off his rocker.

[Maxegirl1313]

LOVE this song.

[khaenos]

It looks like in the 80's faggy things in videos were normal things... now everybody is kinda like upset by seeing vids like this one...c'mon guys! don't be afraid of dick while you're grab the balls!

[gotwoody1]

wow tons a faggots int this video i think gays deserve to die

[Gts976]

amen to that

[HeyArnoldsspleen]

Have a cheap funeral then "fag"...relax

[MrsRammsteinKruspe]

Oh fuck off you wanker.

AIDS just doesn't affect gay people.

[dheschete]

This video makes anyone who sees it 15% gayer. After repeated viewing, one becomes completely gay.

It's still cool, though.

[AlessiaInRainbows]

i love them <3

[sabu85]

The fat guy on the balcony is the best!

[comfnumb82]

this is literaly the gayest thing i've ever seen. still a great visdeo, and far superior to the later ones

[Wiilson1234]

so are they gay?

[rtvtrvbtrbrtdbrtrtb]

Yes.

[mkultra2300]

this version is so much better than the cheesy tame version just showing the band playing.

[catuca72]

fuck man at 80,s you can,t be in at discotheque dancing and is imposible that this song don,t make jump! what a big days. the best. from canada,montreal

[cpereiraf]

I´m not gay. But vivan los gays. This song is so good. Fredy Mercury is alive

[tazrulz68]

an all-time classic song and one hot vid; i always liked Paul Rutherford (for those who dont know - the leather/latex clad smoking stud at the beginning) and after seeing this vid i like the leatherman who comes into frame at marker 0:43

[fantasmagoricalgator]

OK, this may sound like a ridiculous question, with an obvious answer, but were they REALLY gay, or were they just messing around and trying to do something different? I mean, I never really pictured the song as a bunch of guys getting off on each other. Whatever, if they were gay, it's cool; I'm sure they had a lot of fun with it. :)

[ptgptg]

Gay as could be!

[misstiggykins]

They were/are definitely gay! This song and FGTH were considered to be really taboo in 1984. The BBC banned the song and of course it sold like wildfire. However, the band performed on the Xmas day special of TOTP.

[kazzielm]

Paul and Holly were gay, the other three straight.

[schoey100]

Paul Rutherford and Holly Johnson are gay. The other band members aren't.

[wakanya]

I'm straight but not narrow. This video is awesome. It is far better than MTV censored one.

[aimeemanddn]

Was a good video back in 1984, look at comparisons.

[stupidpoove]

omg sooooo gay. good song, bad video

[DWBjackson]

the song is good yeah

[ratix98]

WTF DID I WATCH! nice vid

[SternLX]

Wasn't this the Alternate video they did but MTV wouldn't play it because it depicted Homosexuality? I always though this version of the Video was a bit to 'artsy'. Love the song though.

[MarkyP1984]

Wow, it's sad that MTV was so homophobic back then.

[jaymaccool]

the times they are a-changin'. It's cool to be gay nowadays.

[MarkyP1984]

You're right. I'm glad people are progressing.

[SarahsVlogs]

haha! Memories. :)

[ProvocativeDimitri]

cockfest

they need more women

[escursetanegra]

it's been more than 15 years since i saw this video. it's really funny! i love it, specially at the end, a mix of bodies!

[KenMixtape]

The big boss in the balcony made me realise I was gay as a kid.

[acorianoo]

i LOVE those bear guys wearing leather... they're sooo hot!!!!

[mikebott]

i'm alternately amused and scared as hell of the dude at the bar who looks like dean stockwell in 'blue velvet'...

[ilariagod]

*___* wonderful song and great video...

[baldjeff2]

i remember when i first watched this video as a kid and i was fucking turned on by the guy in leather smoking.....hmmmmm

[140kmob]

love this song.

[Dirlewanger]

great vid!
