5520. Olivia Newton-John - Physical
 |
| From: Physical; Year: 1981; Genre: Pop/Rock |
Yesterday I woke up to find that Olivia Newton-John passed away, which for me was kind of like a "wow" moment. While I've not been a huge fan of her music and don't normally seek her music, there are times her music and other art comes into my mind and I have to hear it again. It's most likely due to hearing her so much back in the day when I was quite young; she was very famous and could be seen/heard almost in all forms of media back throughout the 1970s-1980s.
Anyway, I had a couple of her songs come to mind for today's pick, but I just happened to remember this rather risqué song of hers and absolutely had to choose it. Throughout the '80s Physical seemed to be among her most played songs, which was actually banned in certain parts of the country. Interestingly enough, it was apparently written for Rod Stewart to perform, but her turned it down. Eventually it came to Olivia Newton-John and the rest is history, though it would've been interesting to have heard his record it; however, with how well she did this one and how it is associated with her it would probably just sound weird now.
