Olivia Newton John - Physical *DayOne Reacts*

[@williamfulbright5108]

This was the number one song of the 80s. Ten weeks at number one.

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

And, OLN won 2 Grammys for the album, inc. one for Video Of The Year, for her bestselling visual laserdisc/VHS version of the album (take that, Beyonce!).

[@chrisashley5206]

Number 1 ❤❤❤

[@gemanscombe4985]

With "Physical", Olivia Newton-John shows how her "good girl hot" is far more intriguing than "bad girl easy". It was the next step for her after 1978's "A Little More Love". Watch her live 1982 performances of both songs in Ogden, Utah, during her "Physical" national tour. The concert is posted on YT by "Victor Coral" and has 18 of her hits, each impeccably done. Search for it and see just how great a singer/performer ON-J really was, and still is! A star, born for the stage.

I laughed way too loud when you realised what she was singing about. Another great reaction video, Angela. Keep it up 👍🏽⭐⭐

[@s.h8589]

This song is awesome. For those of us that grew up with Olivia Newton John. The pain of her passing away is REAL 😭She was so special. Good in every way. .

[@dalem8332]

HUGE Song! 10 weeks at #1. Great memories! ♥️🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@Mittens.49]

Howard Jones songs. Things can only get better, and everlasting love. Right up your alley. Thanks.

[@steveschmidt9792]

“No One Is To Blame” is another really good song by him 👍

[@Julieroo28]

I remember when “Things Can Only Get Better” came out and my dad’s employee mentioned it about a week before he had a heart attack. He survived and was OK, but I never say the phrase “things can only get better”. Lol

[@PoetDreamer]

RIP Olivia😥❤❤

R.I.P Olivia Newton-John

[@mitchellquartero]

The song was so risqué back in 1981 that a Utah radio station refused to play the song

[@ajm25100]

You have to hear her sing I Honestly Love You it's great.

[@wellfit1511]

She looks good in the music video

[@PopLife-hb3ks]

Thank you for playing this. I still have vague memories of my mom dancing with me on her hip to this song. I was a toddler when it came out.

[@randall-king]

Somehow I ended up with a cassette of Olivia's Greatest Hits Vol. 2, probably from my parents' collection. My eight-year-old self used to walk around with a portable tape player blasting this album thinking I was the coolest. Lol

[@clydeb7713]

She was Sooo wonderful in Grease!

[@maryanngarrimone1153]

One of my favorites by her. Fun to dance too! Use to do aerobic classes on my lunch hour to this song! Wow good memories! LOL

[@xanajak]

She owned the world. Make a Move on Me is another all-timer as well as Magic and A Little More Love. This video is pretty intense when you get right down to it ... and pay attention to the lyrics. She was a cheeky little chicky.

[@JOHNLUEKMON]

Love your reaction and I love Olivia. Listen to more Olivia please

[@grahamg2137]

Hi Angela im from Australia it's great to see you reacting to Aussie music, I have seen you also react to INXS, John Farnham and the Bee Gees. Here are some more Australian music for you to check out. Geoffrey Gurrumal- Bayini Youthu Yundi- Treaty Missy Higgins- Scar Hunters and Collectors- Throw your arms around me. Also here are a few artists from New Zealand you might enjoy, Bic Runga- Sway Dragon- Young Years Dave Dobbin- Slice of Heaven

[@citrus.mixer1]

This song was quite controversial in 1981! From Wikipedia: "The song was censored and even banned by some radio stations as a result of its sexually suggestive content, such as the line "There's nothing left to talk about, unless it's horizontally". Also, the line "Let me hear your body talk" caused some radio stations to ban the song."

[@VikingJeff]

This and "Make A Move On Me" (which I actually like better) are both a little risque.

[@larrycox8685]

This song was written by Steve Kipner. I think he orignally hoped Tina Turner would record it. But Olivia did and it was a monster hit.

[@oldmanghost219]

Yes... Great song!. From her movie Xanadu, there is the title song "Xanadu" and also "Magic". She plays a muse. One of the daughters of the Greek God Zeus.

[@havensmm9308]

I love that you are reacting to the audio and not the video. Too many reactors get hung up on the video and don't really focus on the song itself. I listened to the song and didn't really watch the video all that much back in the day. Olivia started getting edgier and sexier in her music after Grease. Her album Totally Hot (right after Grease) had great songs like A Little More Love and Deeper Than The Night. "Physical" really doesn't showcase her vocal talent but it was a HUGE hit. Thanks again for featuring ONJ.🧡👏

[@dennytaylor1005]

When I was growing up my friends all was ga-ga over Olivia Newton-John. With this song I think she was told to go more commercial and go disco.

[@richardwatkins2402]

Steve Lukather guitarist/singer from the band Toto, plays guitar on this song, like he did on many 80's song, a great guitar player.

[@nikaltesla9400]

I think in Lukather's book he says he wrote the guitar solo on the spot. He did that a lot during his session work.

[@patrickpetrowsky8136]

The music video is hilarious.

[@rexracer3221]

This song was played at every cardio class in the 1980's... Yes, Olivia Newton-John was trying to shake up her "Good Girl" image. People were very surprised. The official video is pretty funny, MTV played the Hell out of it.

[@Shane-Flanagan]

Don't know why people get so shocked when they figure out what Olivia is really talking about because in fairness the lyrics are pretty tame by todays standards

[@davids2096]

Great song! It was pre Flashdance, Jennifer Beales as the star of the movie and Irene Cara singing that groovy tune! The video to Physical is pretty humorous and would probably be condidered controversial today which is another irony! Later people!

[@gloriathomas3245]

In the 80s there was actually a huge emphasis on fitness which led to a trend of popular exercise programs led by individuals such as Richard Simmons.

[@wendyduehr8086]

I Honestly Love You may have been her biggest hit. Gorgeous song. You will love it.

[@markr.devereux3385]

Excellent guitar solo penned by Steve luthaker

[@danaopperman6541]

I loved your reaction! Thanks for that!

[@mikekuhn214]

May she RIP!

[@rickyconner6782]

It actually rocks. There's a funny video with this song too.

[@ckobo84]

The cheesiest homoerotic-ist video ever! 😂

[@libertelibre]

A good song.

[@scottnever8732]

RIP ONJ

[@Billythekiddnz]

Videos quite good as well. Puts it into perspective I guess.

[@ChataCovers]

if u watched the original video of this song, she's actually wearing a work -out outfit and is kinda dancing / working out while singing lets get physical so it kinda takes ur mind away from the dirty thoughts :)

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

You think this is racy, daring, and erotic-tinged?... Give a listen to, "Stranger's Touch" (from the PHYSICAL album), "Toughen Up", "Soul Kiss", "Culture Shock", and "Moth To A Flame", from her 1985 album, SOUL KISS. The whole album was almost a thematic depiction of her Sandy #1/Sandy #2 personalities from GREASE...some of her best vocals are on that album, when she was about to turn 37 years old. Nice reaction, BTW....always nice to see someone react to the '80s classics.

[@FoamySlobbers]

Steve Lukather - guitar solo

[@dalee72]

You should check out the official music video for this song. React to her songs Magic and A Little Bit More Love please.

[@warrennicholsony.fernando4513]

Please react to her songs Make A Move On Me and Sam.

[@jamesrobbison]

You are such a cutie, love watching your reaction videos. Just curious, how many marriage proposals have you received to date from your fans? lol

[@deborahscalise3215]

The official video is funny. You need to go watch it. LOL!

[@greg2976]

The video does the song more justice. If you can, React to that.

[@Music-tg5is]

Songwriters: Steve Kipner, Terry Shaddick. ...Blame them for the lyrics, lol!

[@rolfjohnson830]

I honestly love you was Olivia’s first major hit. It’s very different from her 1980’s song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKuqfYakj6yNqtU

[@chrisharris6206]

Angela watch the video 💯🤗💪, it goes great with the video.

[@russelljudkins5828]

Need to react to twisted faith by her great song

[@Julieroo28]

Twist of Fate :)

[@russelljudkins5828]

Thanks for correcting 🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@fagingreen8002]

Jeff h is right, Make A Move On Me is much better, it's worth a listen.

[@phatgirl2121]

This used be the song

[@Julieroo28]

I LOVE Olivia. Never have liked this song, though. It’s one of the only ones. I thought the song and video were cheesy, and I was only 12 at the time. Lol

[@runforitscooby]

I didnt like how they tried to turn her into the sex kitten in the 80s even though it was a huge hit. Her career kinda slowed with the new image.

[@havensmm9308]

Actually, her career had slowed with her old image. Her new image actually rejuvenated her career. Other than her TV specials. She didn’t have significant chart success in 1976 and 1977 until Grease in 1978. Her image change happened right after Grease and it was Olivia’s choice to go in that direction with her album “Totally Hot”. And it was ver successful as was the soundtrack to “Xanadu”.😊

[@mikefain1342]

I think Olivia is a little lonesome tonite ?

[@long-timemusicenthusiast2243]

Hi Angela, you need to watch the video, it`s fun & a little racy. :)

[@sheldakrull1621]

I disagree with some people, you should watch the video

[@lamusiclover2264]

You should have watched the video.

[@laurafrancis2104]

👎to Olivia 👍to you❤️😂

[@dub16100]

Has Olivia’s husband escaped from her yet?

[@jameschristy5204]

Love your new hair style but miss your curls
