I worked with her in "Xanadu." She was awesome then, and a legend now. And I have 3 of the outfits she wore during filming which I have professionally preserved...love you O.
I seen this on my grandmothers cabinet T.V. back in the day. Solid Gold was so GOOD! This song was very racy, and I remember I got an exercise set with armbands and leg warmers that year for Christmas. I remember we had those braided/string headbands with the different colors weaved in. I am so happy I got to live the 80s!
On this day in 1981 {November 14th} almost half the records on Billboard's Top 10 chart were by Australian artists; "Physical" by Olivia Newton-John was at #3, "The Night Owls" by The Little River Band was at #6, "Here I Am" by Air Supply was at #7, and "I've Done Everything For You" by Rick Springfield was at #8... {the following week "Physical" reached #1 and stayed in the top spot for 10 weeks}...
Nearly 30 years later and I still find it hard to believe that she actually wanted to hear my 12 year old body talk. But you know how it is, some of those twenty-something year old cougars like it like that
If I remember correctly "Solid Gold" was on Saturday nights, and this was the actual show where I first heard this song. It was hilarious, because on Monday this was instantly the most popular song at school and everybody was singing it.
LOL. When my sister and I were kids we wanted to be Solid Gold dancers. That was my career goal. Luckily, they shut that operation down before we could make that happen. These videos make me laugh.
I loved the way that Olivia Newton-John went from being the sweetie from Australia to a sexy lady. Grease was possibly the first time she went "sexy" and then doing "Physical" put the icing on the cake. She even put some of the female Solid Gold Dancers to shame (except Pam and Deborah!!! They rate highly with Olivia!)
ok well theres an 80's rocker, new waver, hipster, gangster, preppy, jock, nerd, if you really wanna know more just watch these movie The Breakfast Club, The Lost Boys, Sixteen Candles, License to drive, and fastimes at ridgemont high
@brazosjaime No no I think you misunderstood me...see our local tv station had a poll a week ago in regards to what song you thought was the sexiest song to date and people voted for this one....I wasn't talking about the billboard charts :D
They had to be more conservative then on national tv... you can't have almost x-rated music videos just like what we have today. People had to have more imagination then. Olivia rocks!
check out Olivia's beautiful new song Everytime it snows from her new album Christmas Wish . search youtube copy and paste text below NEW OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN SONG - Every Time It Snows
For a second there, I could have sworn that Richard Simmons had gotten a sex change operation & took some singing lessons between workouts. WTF? What venues did she appear at while on tour... Jack La Lanes Gym and Bally's Fitness Center??? Hit a few YMCA's in the smaller towns while meeting up with The Village People for a few shows??
I'm at baby sitters. they have early lites out. I hear this show on in other room. Brother and I see a photo of jesus on the wall. Luckily we could see this show reflected off the photo of Jesus. A liberal thought I was making fun of Jesus or religious but I just thanked that Jesus photo for letting me watch solid gold lol
I always got a kick out of it the way she tried to make the song look to be about exercise. but then again, I was too young to understand that then. LOL
Hahaha, I was so little when I first saw this air...I never, EVER got that this song was about sex. Every time you saw her perform this song, she was wearing the workout gear. Hahaha"there's nothing left to say, but horizontally"...damn!! ONJ wanted to get laid!
@Chuichupachichi Whether it's an Olivia concert or a Dodger's game, I do whatever pleases myself. I do not subscribe to fascist Christianity controlled by the masses and trying to dictate what I should or should not do. Being an American means I can do as I so choose. Peace man.
When she got on the ground and started flapping her leg up & down to do some body talking monologue, I could have sworn some Queensland princess was showing me her "wonder down under"! "Fosters"... Australian for... enough of this work'n out shit, lets get drunk until our bodies mumble slobber & stumble all over each other
man i hate how whenever girls dress up 80's like for Halloween or for 80's day at work or school they always wear get physcial shit spandex and work out stuff sooo lame! there is soo many much cooler 80's styles than this
To me ONJ was the best combination of looks, talent and attitude. Nobody from today can even come close.
I worked with her in "Xanadu." She was awesome then, and a legend now. And I have 3 of the outfits she wore during filming which I have professionally preserved...love you O.
Like this one rip Olivia ray i want to get physical for sure lol😅❤❤❤
Which is a big reason why 80's Television like this is so much better than today's versions like "American Idol." Not enough sex.
Back in 1981,this song was so expansive that black kids from the projects were singing and dancing to it...now that is POWER!
Olivia had legs for days. Boy, soooo many of us girls cut our hair just like Livvie. And those headbands. What a riot!

In 1982 a friend dragged me to her concert. Honestly, she was great!
wicked song and video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!bless!!
I LOVE SOLID GOLD!! And I love Olivia! I also love how she tried to make the song about working out instead of gettin' nasty!
If I remember correctly "Solid Gold" was on Saturday nights, and this was the actual show where I first heard this song. It was hilarious, because on Monday this was instantly the most popular song at school and everybody was singing it.
Gotta love the 80s! I prefer songs like this when working out in the gym instead of metal or rap music!
I just love this girl. Always have, always will
god what a time the 80s were . i remember when hot hits 98 wcau fm playd this evey hour on the hour what a great station it was
Timeless classic. Always like this performance on Solid Gold, so much better than the promotional video.
OMG that's so true I used to love it as well, totally oblivious to the lyrics, I was also around 10
Never cared for Solid Gold, but love this appearance with the Solid Gold Dancers!
that bit at the end with the two dancers was cute:-) olivia was in great shape
i love this song!
Hermosa mujer.....que años aquellos...
BEST SONG EVER
She is Guest Starring on Glee and is singing this song with Jane Lynch (Sue Sylvester)!!!
She's so cute !!!! I love her !
Hot!
An 80ies song, of course ...
LOL. When my sister and I were kids we wanted to be Solid Gold dancers. That was my career goal. Luckily, they shut that operation down before we could make that happen. These videos make me laugh.
i have always liked olivia newton john
#1 pop for ten weeks in late 1981-early
1982
God was she something back then!!!
¡¡¡¡¡¡Que Mujer!!!!!!! Viva Olivia
RIP OLivia...I remembered the Controversy on this Song...80's...LOL
ONJ Started the MTV revolution with Let's Get Physical video back in early 80s.
i think its time for aerobics to make a comeback!
Olivia looks very Diana (Princess) in this era of time! Gorgeous!
That looks like a good work out routine, the girls in the background went non-stop.
This was my favorite olivia newton john song. i was like 9 or 10 when it came out, and at the the time dident know the song was about sex lol.
A great time to grow up in
''excellent''

@henner777
LOL waayyy b4 the internet. Sounds like intimate restaurant. I worked out to this song so much back then.
ok well theres an 80's rocker, new waver, hipster, gangster, preppy, jock, nerd, if you really wanna know more just watch these movie The Breakfast Club, The Lost Boys, Sixteen Candles, License to drive, and fastimes at ridgemont high
i used to work out to this song.
@brazosjaime

Had this been the Official Music Video , Physical would've been N`1 for more than 10 weeks...
Dude, could she sing! Not only that she is HOT!
People were less uptight in the 1970s and '80s.
The solid gold dancers are unstoppable and could excersize all day
solid gold, olivia newton john, and lip synching.......awesome!!!!! Love the 80s!!!
Olivia, you better NOT wear that to the gym, but Solid Gold, wear it w/style!!
This song was original written for Tina Turner and she passed it on to Olivia who made it a great hit.
They had to be more conservative then on national tv... you can't have almost x-rated music videos just like what we have today. People had to have more imagination then. Olivia rocks!
I can see how we have "IMPROVED" in 2009.
Dude if you find out please let me know. God so many memories
Linda
@730414 Same. I only checked this out because of Glee! But to any Glee haters: I love this video too! =D
she was so pretty back in the day…..
does anyone know where i can get solid gold dvds?
why do you ask? I was with a company handling stage lighting.
Great! Where is she now?
It wasn't voted into the number 1 position. It got there by it's lyrics and it's time on the charts of 10straight weeks as number 1.
i always thought the lyric was 'i took you to an internet restaurant' but uhm that I was very special back then

@RockenDokkenlover91 What are some good outfits then???
I saw on a local news report that this was voted the most sexiest song........0_0...I mean I like the song but....I dunno really...
15 folks SHOULD get Physical
For a second there, I could have sworn that Richard Simmons had gotten a sex change operation & took some singing lessons between workouts.
WTF? What venues did she appear at while on tour... Jack La Lanes Gym and Bally's Fitness Center??? Hit a few YMCA's in the smaller towns while meeting up with The Village People for a few shows??
my first crush...yum
Lovely legs, what time do they open?
I'm at baby sitters. they have early lites out. I hear this show on in other room. Brother and I see a photo of jesus on the wall. Luckily we could see this show reflected off the photo of Jesus. A liberal thought I was making fun of Jesus or religious but I just thanked that Jesus photo for letting me watch solid gold lol
@HYPNAS1 very much alive
I always got a kick out of it the way she tried to make the song look to be about exercise. but then again, I was too young to understand that then. LOL
15 barbarians, 357 true music lovers!
@gasdorf Worth getting physical for that... seen Mike Maloney's debt collapse?

I do not know of any.

Solid Gold was all lip singing! Like videos are nowadays!
Something tells me this is not what she means by getting physical...
cheesy but nice
Move over Jane Fonda, Olivia is taking your place as the fitness queen! LOL
15 people are more into the spiritual...
15 people are into the non-physical.
esta mujer es mi amor platonico,con ella si bajo unos kilos de mi barrigota jajaja
When she got on the ground and started flapping her leg up & down to do some body talking monologue, I could have sworn some Queensland princess was showing me her "wonder down under"!
"Fosters"... Australian for... enough of this work'n out shit, lets get drunk until our bodies mumble slobber & stumble all over each other
Am I not the one see her lip-singing?
this lyric is so cheesy its almost like Spinal Tap wrote it as a joke
