BANGER!| FIRST TIME HEARING Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax REACTION

Thank the lord you didn't watch the unedited version of this video..

This is one of the most quintessential 80's songs. And yes, Frankie is talking about what you think he is.

Watch the official video and you'll soon see what the song is about.

This track got banned from the radio in 1984 because of it's obscene lyrics and went straight to number 1 for 5 weeks 😂

"I don't know what the song is about. I don't even wanna know what the song is about" = I know what the song is about.

Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Two Tribes. Frankie Goes To Hollywood - The Power Of Love.

"Relax? Is he..." Yes. Yes he is. If there's ever been a song that's definitely about that, it's this one.

This is one of those songs that will ALWAYS get me on the dance floor.

This sparked the famous 80s "Frankie Says Relax" t-shirts that were everywhere.

Frankie says : React to Two Tribes. BANGER!

This song was massive in the clubs here in Australia during the 80s. The drums and bass make this one of the best dance songs ever . Holly Johnson has a remarkable voice

Frankie Goes To Hollywood are from Liverpool, home of the Beatles. Holly's mum lives at the top of our road and she is lovely.

Fun Fact - This song was banned in the UK in 1984 by the BBC for its suggestive lyrics. It reached number 1 on the UK Top 40 on 28 January 1984, and sold 2 million copies after spending 37 weeks in the charts (35 of those 37 weeks it wasn’t played on the radio due to the ban). Any child of the 70’s remembers having a Frankie says Relax t-shirt. As you can imagine it is still a firm favourite in all the gay clubs, even to this day and this song is guaranteed together everyone up and dancing!

I think Amber got the message but was too embarrassed to say but Jay had no idea 😂😂

I've heard the isolated tracks for this one. The "baw-baw-baw" is actually multiple instruments. Major part synth sound - Trevor Horn was an enthusiastic early user of the Fairlight sampling synthesiser, which could turn any sound into a playable instrument - but there's actually a guitar mirroring it at the same time to add extra dimensions to it. Indeed, what I love about that sound is that, if you listen, it's slightly different every time they play it. There's a random variance - how the multiple instruments work together, differences in the filter effects - that means it's never exactly the same sound twice. The amount of "grit" on the sound is allowed to vary and wander. This song and Blue Monday are what set the "boots and cats" rhythm for all dance music thereafter. Those two songs just knocked it out of the park - blew people's minds, with these unheard of electronic effects - that the early '90s rave culture emerged from it all (until Nirvana re-wrote the script with grunge and then being "unplugged" was the trend, in opposition to everything trying to copy Blue Monday and Relax - funny thing is, unlike most electronic copycats, both Blue Monday and Relax do both have live-played guitar on them).

The entire double LP Welcome to the Pleasuredome is an aural explosion and experience - Frankie Say Welcome!!!

Oh man! Yes, get lost in the beat. 😂 The song was banned by the BBC in England. The video is pretty wild.

I’m surprised you did this song. Yes, it’s dirty, dirty, dirty . And an awesome 80’s classic. “Two Tribes” is another really great Frankie song

MASSIVE HIT in the '80's. Can't be understated.

This song was banned in Britain on radio & TV, which of course aided in its huge success. Love it!!
