This is only a test, because I don't think my last two posts ever showed up
on the mailing list. (Both posts were related to the use of Frankie's
"Relax" in the movie "Zoolander"; one post included an interview with Ben
Stiller about the song.)

Testing, testing...

Subject: (ztt) Ben Stiller on "Relax" in Zoolander
Date: 03 Oct 2001 16:34:09 -0700


(This is a repost of two e-mails that apparently got lost in the ether...but
if either already showed up in your mailbox, kindly ignore these
redundancies...)

In "Zoolander" (a very funny lightweight "Austin Powers" sort of comedy
starring Ben Stiller), Frankie Goes to Hollywood fans definitely will enjoy
the fact that the song "Relax" is a MAJOR part of the plot, and is VERY
prominently featured (in versions by FGTH and others). Also, I won't ruin
the surprise, but a bit of fictional Frankie history that is mentioned in
the movie is hilarious!

According to the credits, "Relax" is performed by FGTH (various mixes),
someone named Brian Kehew, and a group listed as Powerman 5000 featuring
Dannyboy.

Lots of other '80s songs also are in the movie, but you will be stunned and
delighted at how much attention is devoted to "Relax!"

(second post follows)

Here is more info on the VERY prominent appearance of FGTH's "Relax" in the
upcoming movie "Zoolander." This is quoted from the movie's
director/star/cowriter Ben Stiller, who made the remarks at a
press-only media event held today (Friday September 21) in Los Angeles to
promote the movie. The reporter who asked the question is my own Significant
Other, who is a fellow Frankie fan. (SPOILER WARNING: Part of the plot and
something about the ending is revealed in Stiller's answer, but nothing that
will ruin the movie for you.)

REPORTER: Could you talk about the song "Relax" in the movie, because that
was just the highlight for me.

BEN STILLER: Oh, good! Yeah, well, we thought that would be a great song to
have in the movie just because it just kind of related on a lot of different
levels to the character. It kind of...the soundtrack of
the movie kind of grew out of that. It became like a very kind of retro-'80s
soundtrack for some reason. But, um, you know, it was Drake Sather's idea.
His first draft of the script was, that was the song they would use to
brainwash Derek--because he would, as a male model, he would like it.
(Laughter). Um, I don't know what that means, it just, you know, um...and
then it just ended up being...It ended up
being a really challenging thing to use in the movie because you have to use
the song a lot in the movie. So we actually had to go to people from Frankie
Goes to Hollywood and get the original elements of the
song. So we got the original like 24 track, and were breaking that. So we
got like the little stings and the "bawm bawm bawm" and all the little
pieces of it and tried to build it in. So finally at the end of the movie
when Derek's on the runway and there's that big kind of climax, we actually
then got the full orchestra that was scoring the movie to play "Relax."
Which was really funny, to see like a full 80-piece orchestra playing
"Relax" on a soundstage. But yeah, it became like this very very important
part of the movie.

(end of quote)

Also: Frankie's version of "Relax" (3:42 mix) appears on the "Zoolander"
soundtrack CD, along with a 3:04 version by Powerman 5000.

Finally: What exactly is Holly Johnson saying starting at the 3:42 mark on
the single? I've never been about to decipher that line...

it includes the original banned RELAX Video featuring Holly being
thrown onstage in the Palms Bar with a Tiger & the Caesar figure

I wonder if the dub version is on CD anywhere?

Which reminds me, has anyone got a copy of the German "Welcome to the
Twelve Inch Mixes" double CD?
Can you confirm that the track listing is different to the UK version?
I've seen it for sale on a few web-sites, but the tracklisting has been ambiguous.

I have just received my copy of the US 'Relax Remixes' CD single (track list

best one of all the remixes released over the past years. Does anyone know
if ZTT or Repertoire have plans to release this stuff in Europe▀

I have heard they are quite stunning, revealing elements heretofore buried
completely in the mix.

I think I'll need to replace that cd player one of these days...
