Story about this misheard lyric by: andy

We heard the song and a friend of mine sang his Ray Charles -version at the top of his lungs. I cracked up and told him that the real lyrics were 'grey shark'. Turned out I was just as stupid as he was. I guess it helps to know the song title.

Repetitive Lyrics:

"Relax"

The Repetitive Lyrics:

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 step to it
Relax, don't do it
when you want to come

Why They're Repetitive:

Responding to sXe LeXi 5X2

LeXi, since you've never seen this video before I'll try to explain it to you. Acording to the VH1's Behind The Music 1984 rertrospective all of the members of Frankie Goes to Hollywood were openly gay so naturally the song Relax is about sex. All of the clues are in the chorus.

Relax, don't do it, when you want to go to it
Relax, don't do it, when you want to come

It basically means if you don't want to have sex then don't do feel as though you need to be pressured into doing it.

Insincere Lyrics:

"Ferry Cross the Mersey"

The Insincere Lyrics:

So ferry Cross the Mersey, This Lands The Place I Love, And Here I'll Stay

Why They're Insincere:

If You Love Your land so much, and you wanna stay there, then why the hell are you going to Hollywood, Frankie?

Inappropriate Lyrics:

"The Power Of Love"

The Inappropriate Lyrics:

I'll protect you from The Hooded Claw

Why They're Inappropriate:

This line always stood out for all the wrong reasons. I always end up thinking of the Ant Hill Mob from 'Wacky Races' and 'The Perils Of Penelope Pitstop' in the middle of this loving song! The video was about Mary & Joseph and baby Jesus going to Bethlehem also.
