The video for Relax was belatedly controversial and ended up having large issues with the British censors.

This is the full ‘banned’ version of the 80′s music video for Relaxed. So, keep that in mind when you hit play.

Over in the USA, it was Boy George and Culture Club were doing their part to confuse parents. Their single Karma Chameleon was sitting firmly at the top of the Billboard music charts.
