What do you think of Olivia Newton-John‘s “Physical“? For me it was one of the tracks that perhaps summed up the 1980’s and I’m still not sure whether I like the song or not. That 80s gym fashion in the video looks so dated now. But despite that the song was voted the sexiest song of all time in a Billboard poll in 2012. Really?
The song was written by Steve Kipner and did you know that it was originally offered to Rod Stewart? Presumably because of its similarities to Rod’s awful (in my opinion) “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy“. My personal choices for sexiest song ever would be Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On” and “Juicy Fruit” from Mtume. What is the sexiest song for you?
LOVE Olivia and Rod Stewart. As time passed it was the norm to trash Pop and Rock artists in favor of R&Bs or Motown acts. Gratefully, that phase seems to have passed and Pop culture has become more inclusive and diverse, and classic Pop and Rock artists have become more respected and appreciated. Donna Summer, Stevie Nicks, Linda Ronstadt, Heart, Joan Jett and Olivia are finally getting their due respect. It’s not always all about Aretha Franklin and Marvin Gaye.
