Throwback Thursday


Happy Throwback Thursday all!  Thanks to those that have emailed me about Throwback Thursdays!!   I’m glad you guys enjoy my selections.  It’s one of my favorite things to post!  This Thursday I’m taking it back to 1984.  This song has double-entendre written all over it and its really dirty if when break it down. “Relax” by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.  The song never hit #1 in the United States but it still remains #7 in the UK’s list of top selling singles of all time (even though it was banned from the radio).  Of course when I was younger I was oblivious to the sexual connotation from the song but you can’t get any dirtier than the sexually charged, “Relax, don’t do it, When you want suck it to it, Relax, don’t do it, When you want to come” to then follow up with “But shoot it in the right direction, (yeah yeah yeah yeah-ee-yeah), make making it your intention”.  Scandalous.  So scandalous that the original cut of the video was banned in the UK and in the US (I posted it below under the more tame version).  Another reason why I love this song is because as I was leaving Florida moving to New York my friends had a party for me and my best friend at the time toasted me off with a lyric from the song "Live those dreams, scheme those schemes".  I love it.
