Just wondering if anyone could tell me if the song Relax( Dont do it) by Frankie Goes To Hollywood is gay like when he says "suck it to it" or something like that. I only ask because the song sounds a bit gay and I know some of the band members were if not all.

Sorry if I've offended anyone with my use of the word gay.

It's actually 'Frankie Say Relax' if we're going to be picky

The furore was just symptomatic of the homophobic moral hypocrisy that was still rife in that era. Nobody batted an eyelid barely two years later when the nicely heterosexual Diana Ross got to number one with a song about having an orgasm, including the somewhat unequivocal lines:

...You make me tremble when your hand moves lower
You taste a little then you swallow slower
Nature has a way of yielding treasure
Pleasure made for you...

Haven't you ever seen the video? There's a fat guy enjoying "water sports" with Holly Johnson & Paul Rutherford which is a bit of a clue...

,,, when he says "suck it to it" or something like that.
The words were "... when you want to sock it to it.".

I always thought the song was just about relaxing in someone's home when you come to visit them.

I think some people just read too much into song lyrics.

No worries.

Get yourself a big, white "relax" t-shirt and sing those lyrics at the top of your voice, safe in the knowledge that they are not rude in any way.
