HOT TAKE: Best One-Hit Wonder of the 70s/80s 'Relax' vs. 'It's Raining Men'
We're taking a short break from brand-new episodes this week, but we couldn't leave you hanging like an umbrella in a hurricane. Instead, we're bringing you a Hot Take from our Best One-Hit Wonder Song episode.In this clip, our panel squares off over two iconic songs that prove sometimes you only need one massive hit to make music history: "It's Raining Men" by The Weather Girls and "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.One is a joyful, over-the-top anthem that forecasted a downpour of eligible bachelors and became an LGBTQ+ classic. The other is a provocative synth-pop smash that shocked parents, got banned by the BBC, and somehow only became even more popular because of it. It's a battle of high-energy disco versus irresistible '80s new wave, and enough camp to fill an entire Pride parade. But only one song can weather the storm and move on in the bracket.Listen to the full episode from Season 3 by clicking here.CREDITS:Editor: Bob ErlenbackIntro/Outro Song: "Dance to My Tune" by Marc Torch#80smusic #70smusic #music #popmusic #onehitwonder #frankiegoestohollywood #relax #weathergirls #itsrainingmenSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
