Talk:Relax (song)

message: I deleted some of the legacy portions claiming Frankie.. being an irresistible soundtrack and some stuff like that which sounded like fanboy sayings, and worst of all, very original research-like, stuff that could come back, WITH citations 201.252.52.235 20:53, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have removed this and some other POV stuff. Regarding the "Legacy" section, think there would be room in the article for putting in context of changing attitudes to sexuality and censorship at the time, but this should be done in an encyclopaedic style, using sources, rather than purple prose musings. --88.110.218.25 13:18, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

message: What was the official rule on remixes being included in a single's chart performance circa 1984? I remember a lot of controversy over the topic in the early 1990s, at a time when chart singles were released in a plethora of different formats in order to boost sales; the powers that be subsequently introduced rules governing the length and types of singles that could count towards a song's chart position. Relax and Two Tribes are two of the earliest, most famous examples of mainstream chart songs that were released in several different versions, and it would be interesting to cover this in a short paragraph in the article. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 12:51, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

message: If the first music video is the one I've seen, I wouldn't say that it's "set in a S&M themed gay nightclub".  It seems to be a fantasy scene of strange costumed characters congregating in a theatre, with one roman emperor character in one of the box-seats  wearing a pseudo-toga and yelling down at the stage while getting shaved, etc. etc.   There are some black leather outfits, but it's not remotely like any nightclub or BDSM event that I've ever heard of... AnonMoos (talk) 03:20, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Oops, I've now seen the original video, and it definitely did have a gay nightclub theme.  If the "laser" video exists, then that means that there must be at least three videos: gay nightclub, theatre, and laser... AnonMoos (talk) 09:30, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

text: Both videos ("Laser" and "original") are easily viewed on Youtube.  I'm pretty sure that the "two" videos being described above are in reality the same one, just with different perspectives and 25 years of memory fade.  The "first" video encompasses all the themes described above.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 12:15, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't see any of the videos in the 1980s. My 2010 comment above was made when I had pretty recently watched the "theater" version, and my 2016 comment was made after I watched the "gay nightclub" version yesterday.  The "theatre" video and the "gay nightclub" video share some elements, such as the big round guy in the balcony box seats, but he's wearing a toga in the "theatre" version and strips down to a thong in the "gay nightclub" version -- so the two are overall very different...

message: There's a modern remix not listed here. Think it's connected to the 2009 Virgin advert, pos UK only. Not sure if commercially released but the video's still getting airplay on (uk) Freesat music channels. Holly Johnson's in the video but the rest is your generic 00's sexy models club video aimed at straight men.( Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax (2009 Lockout Remix)

message: I don't see the problem of unofficial titles, and I don't see how it is an undue weight. Actually, I see that adding them back helps readers be informed. And I don't see sources as unreliable. --George Ho (talk) 00:28, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I note that your talk page suggests you are taking a wiki-break at the moment, and another editor has recently recommended you do so in your Editor Review. I tend to agree with them, and I will probably add a comment to that effect there later. But meanwhile, I feel this discussion is going nowhere, and I respectfully suggest that you should drop it. --DaveG12345 (talk) 09:10, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

message: "...representing simultaneous chart success by a single act, unprecedented since the early 1960s" is very weak phrasing and IMO should be changed to, "representing simultaneous chart success unseen since the early 1960s." Sadsaque (talk) 22:42, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

message: I believe that the mention of T2: Trainspotting and GTA:VC should be furthered by noting:
The song featured on the soundtrack to T2 Trainspotting and also in the game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories in the fictional in-game radio station Wave 103. The song was also used in American Horror Story Apocalypse and Black Mirror: Bandersnatch. Magcargo64 (talk) 21:29, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

replies: text:  Thank you, I nuked one of the samples with a comprehensive edit summary pointing back to the talk page (though I was too laggy to section link, trying to recover my Gaian about me from Wayback machine after I inadvertently deleted it after URLs changed).

message: In the intro it says "The hit version, produced by Trevor Horn and featuring the band along with other musicians...", but this is contradicted later when it says Holly Johnson was the only band member to perform on the record. Which is correct? MFlet1 (talk) 06:00, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
