    i've lived a very sheltered life, so can someone please tell me
    whats so lewd about these lyrics:confused:

    Relax don't do it
    When you want to go to it
    Relax don't do it
    When you want to come
    Relax don't do it
    When you want to come
    When you want to come

    Relax don't do it
    When you want to to go to it
    Relax don't do it
    When you want to come
    Relax don't do it
    When you want to suck to it
    Relax don't do it
    When you want to come
    Come-oh oh oh

    But shoot it in the right direction
    Make making it your intention-ooh yeah
    Live those dreams
    Scheme those schemes
    Got to hit me
    Hit me
    Hit me with those laser beams

    I'm coming
    I'm coming-yeah

    Relax don't do it
    When you want to go to it
    Relax don't do it
    When you want to come

    Relax don't do it
    When you want to suck to it
    Relax don't do it (love)
    When you want to come
    When you want to come
    When you want to come
    Come-huh

    Get it up
    The scene of love
    Oh feel it

    Relax
    Higher higher

    What age are you OP, before I even contemplate going there?

    EDIT, although I was 11 when it was 'out', I would have been as confuddled as you at the time to be fair.

    About 20 years later, on music channels, that Maroon 5 song This Love had the "coming" blanked out in the line "keep her coming every night"... :pac:

    Similarly, words like "ass" and "pissed" get blanked out on late-night music TV.

    I'm old enough to remember it well and too young to have been old enough to damage my memory in 1984.
    "Frankie says stop wearing stupid Frankie says tee shirts."

    All I remember is that it kept Queen's Radio Ga Ga from becoming No 1 in the charts.

    A crime against culture I say!

    Ah, not really ashamed..

    Ye will all laugh at your leggings in years to come..
    I've already worn them in the 80's and still laugh at them now :cool:

    The RELAX t-shirt was so rebellious at the time..

    I remember getting into really serious crap in school for wearing it for gym..

    Sounds stupid now but it was.. :)

    I shouldn't be so outraged and smug. I was in love with one or another member of Duran Duran at the time :(

    The video of the nightclub with the golden shower and the guys wearing bondage gear etc was replaced by a vid of just the band performing the song and a bunch of laser beams (yes, they were being literal when they sang "Hit me with your laser beam"... :pac:). They objected to the song being banned by BBC Radio 1 but because that banning resulted in its sales going through the roof, it seemed they were suddenly ok about censorship if willing to film such lameness.

    Still though, the original video was pretty outrageous for its time - shame pop acts aren't as daring any more and what consitutes "daring" is Lady GaGa's weird yet sexy outfits.

    Heh, love the occasions when AH threads turn into nostalgia-fests for the auldies... :pac:

    Nah, by the time Bros came along a few yeras later I had realised how cool I was. (Unfortunately, my peers were not as perceptive as me on that front)

    All the Taylors in Duran wanted me, as well as Le Bon and Rhodes, so you just dream on Foxy, in your "Frankie says..." tee shirt. And anyway EVERYONE knows you can't like FGTH and DD at the same time 'cos it's not allowed!So, actually, you're not cool, actually.
