bullshit, "frankie goes to hollywood" was the name of a bunch of pommy
queers who formed a band named after holly johnson (the leader). their
big hit "relax go to it" was a joke on the music industry coz it was all
about buggery, but got played on all the kid's shows. you may not like
queers, but you gotta admit they've got a sense of humour. (-8
