Frankie Goes to west Hollywood and Frankie Goes to North Hollywood

Relax, already.

Don't Do It!

When you want to...come!

I hear they hit him
[Hit him]
Hit him with those laser beams.

Live those dreams.
Scheme those schemes.

She was my favorite of the Girls Next Door.

I heard Aretha Franklin invented rock'n'roll

Welcome to the Pleasuredome is a really good record.

He has the Magic Johnson Gene... 18+ years HIV Positive

In Relax, about 3/4 of the way through, you can make out "won't you suck me" in the background. You can see Holly lip synch it quite clearly in the video. Most people don't notice it. Or the "what the fark waaaaaas that" in EMF's "Unbelievable".

Tramps like them, baby they were born to run

The world is surely crushed that FGTH won't have a reunion to play their one good song.

What's next? Bjork will refuse to scream?

Must have something to do with the Johnson.

Calling FGTH a 'band' is giving them waaay too much credit.

Little known fact: Playing FGTH's "Born to Run" cover will cause one out of two Jerseyites to implode.

I dunno, I kind of liked her in "Ice Castles", and I'm glad she doesn't want to "go Hollywood" on us.

Wouldn't mind seeing her reunite with Roger Connery for another James Bond flick, tho.

A point is all you can score

For those of you who don't know how great a producer Trevor Horn is, here's a great CD of his best works. (new window)

And singer Johnson admits he knew he was through with the group when a bandmate challenged him to a fistfight slapfight.

Fixed.

That works on so many levels.

Three #1 hits in the UK from the first album, one of them being a manipulative Xmas song/video - it was all downhill from there.

At least one has been band has the self respect to stay the f+ck in the past.

Actually, they did do a reunion (new window) at the Trevor Horn 25th Anniversary celebration in 2004, but with Ryan Molloy on vocals, not Holly.

Brian Nash also didn't take part, but Jed O'Toole, Mark's brother and an original member, took Nash's place.

Still an awesome performance, though. What a band they really were.


/likes the Liverpool album

... and then there was the abortion that was T.A.T.U.'s "200 km the wrong lane" ...

Sometimes you just have to say no, Trevor, no matter how much money they're offering.

vernonFL: Welcome to the Pleasuredome is a really good record.

One of my 50 fave-o-rite albums from the 1980's.

To a lesser but still hefty degree, I also really enjoyed "Liverpool"

Holly Johnson always stuck me as being an egotistical douchebag.

This just seals that reputation for me.

Are you kidding? If there was anything the slightest bit nasty in any song, I could find it.

I remember reading an article at the time Relax was first released in the US about their writing the song. They claimed to have written it in one of the band members' bedrooms.

/bet they did.
