The lyrics to Frankie Goes to Hollywood's song Relax may seem straightforward at first, but they are actually quite controversial given the song's history. The song was released in 1983 and became a controversial hit due to its sexually suggestive lyrics, which were considered explicit and controversial for their time. The song has now become a cultural icon and remains one of the most popular synthpop songs of all time.
The song's lyrics talk about relaxation and urge listeners to refrain from indulging in sexual activities when they want to. The chorus features the repetition of the word "relax" in a seemingly seductive tone, with hints of sexual innuendos. However, the lyrics are open to interpretation, with some suggesting that the song is actually an anti-sexual behavior anthem. In any case, the song's catchy melody and provocative lyrics made it an instant hit.

In communist Poland in the 1980s it was a hit on the state radio. Nobody understood the lyrics, but everyone liked the music very much.

В конце 80-х у нас в СССР показывали чешский фильм "Боны и покой". Я в нём услышал первый раз эту песню. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_LjN599ehI

And the video was released many times on public TV by Krzysztof Szewczyk (in the 80s), the program was called Videoteka or Jarmark (I don't remember exactly). I was more a bit than 10 years old and I loved it! :). Probably I also did not understand the sense but the song was great! ... from these years and this program I also remember Shakin Stevens, Limahl, Duran Duran, Wham, GM, Elton John....hehe.... eh those beutiful young times!....;)
