De ultieme discostamper met de originele, Fellini-style video. Inclusief drag queens, een tijgergevecht en een moddervette keizer die een striptease weggeeft waarbij niets verborgen blijft. Decadenter wordt het niet.
MTV deed de video in de ban, de BBC meteen maar de hele song. Om toch nog wat airplay te genereren pretendeerde de band dat het over ‘motivatie’ ging. Gelul, natuurlijk. Wat basgitarist Mark O’Toole later ook eerlijk toe zou geven: “Like, when people ask you what ‘Relax’ was about, when it first came out we used to pretend it was about motivation, and really it was about shagging”.
