Relax, don't do it
When you want to suck it to it
Relax, don't do it
When you want to cum.

..expectations for the cover sleeve of the single would naturally be high. And it doesn't disappoint. Some may argue that the 1985 cover of Relax by English band Frankie Goes To Hollywood is one of the few that doesn't require a remix of its own. It already features a pantie-less girl in high spiky heels and an even more spiky corset who is being held up by an Adonis like man wearing leather loin cloths. How erotic!

There is an extent to which that is true, and remixing a cover that is already pretty outstandingly pretty outstanding might not be necessarily necessary. But remixed it has been. Now the girl on the cover is still wearing spiky heels and no panties, but her spiky corset has been replaced by her pointy nipples which stick out almost as much as the spikes on the corset of the girl on the original cover, which impressive because the original spikes were pretty outstandingly spiky. What about the guy? He's been replaced by another guy in a boxing ring outfit. Why? Why not? So, spikyness has been preserved and the remix holds as a remix worthy of publication. Don't agree? Just relax.
