This was a disappointment as it was every young kid’s dream to appear on that show with a No 1. We had already performed it on The Tube and Top of the Pops’ 20th anniversary show, which catapulted the single up the charts, but were unable to play Top of the Pops when Relax reached its peak position. ZTT celebrated Relax being banned by the BBC, as it went to No 1 in the UK shortly afterwards. Unlike the other members, I attended many of the studio sessions so I wasn’t surprised by the final version after he scrapped three or four others. Trevor didn’t like the band’s standard of playing as he couldn’t sync it to his machinery, which was fairly cutting edge at the time. The sound of us jumping into the swimming pool was sampled into the Fairlight – the only thing that survived those sessions. We were booked into the Manor Studio to record it. Their only asset was Trevor Horn at his peak, which was a big carrot waved in front of our donkey. We all had to sign on the dole because ZTT were tight with money, unless they were spending it on our behalf in their own studios. This proved to be a very expensive choice. Beggars Banquet offered us each £40 a week for the next year, but we signed to ZTT.
'Careless Whisper' was us dancing, because we danced a lot, and the idea was – we are dancing.but she knows.and it's finished.Relax was written in my head, and I sang it out loud to myself walking down the middle of Princes Avenue in Liverpool, laughing as I went. "I did feel guilty about the first girl – and I have seen her since – and the idea of the song was about her. The whole time I thought I was being cool, being this two-timer, but there really wasn't that much emotion involved.
Jane found out about her and got rid of me. But I started another relationship with a girl called Alexis without finishing the one with Jane. He later said: "The whole idea of 'Careless Whisper' was the first girl finding out about the second – which she never did. Co-written with Andrew when they were 17, the song took inspiration from stories from Michael’s early romantic experiences with two different girls. Released when he still in the boyband with Andrew Ridgeley, the song topped the charts around the world. This was the song that made people stand up and take notice of George as a credible artist outside the pop fun of Wham! George Michael - Careless Whisper (Official HD Video)
You see, for me it is still called "Deal With God", that was its title." And I thought, 'well, no, why not a deal with God!' Because in a way it's so much more powerful the whole idea of asking God to make a deal with you. you know, I thought a deal with the devil. "And really the only way I could think it could be done was either. And if we could actually swap each other's roles, if we could actually be in each other's place for a while, I think we'd both be very surprised! Kate later said: "I was trying to say that, really, a man and a woman can't understand each other because we are a man and a woman. The song itself has often been misinterpreted. Kate Bush relented and changed the title.
