Welcome to the Pleasuredome (song)

"Welcome to the Pleasuredome" is a song by the English pop band Frankie Goes to Hollywood, released on their 1984 debut album, "Welcome to the Pleasuredome". The lyrics were inspired by the poem Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. In March 1985, it was abridged and remixed for release as the group's fourth UK single.

While criticised at the time of release and afterward for being a song that glorifies debauchery, the lyrics (and video), in accordance with Coleridge's poem, were about the dangers of mindless indulgence. This song, along with "Relax", made Frankie Goes to Hollywood even more controversial than they already were.

Billboard compared it to "Relax", saying that "Welcome to the Pleasuredome" had "less hook, less controversy, more drama."
