i'm a little late to it today, but only because monday is by far the most sensuous, lusty, and PHYSICAL day of the week.
p.s. thank you famous mortimer for the comments. keep 'em coming.
Music video
The video featured a lusty Olivia, dressed in a tight leotard, working out in a gym with several overweight men, who eventually transform into attractive muscular young men. The gym setting may have been partly an attempt to divert attention from the overt sexual connotations of the term "physical". This was further emphasised by the twist comedy ending of the video, when the transformed men who are now oblivious to Newton-John's advances are ultimately revealed to be gay (this was also a source of controversy; MTV frequently cut the ending when it aired the video, and the sometimes sensuous nature of the video also led to it being banned outright by some broadcasters in Canada and the United Kingdom). The video won a Grammy Award for Video Of The Year in 1983. The song was banned in South Africa for its suggestive lyrics.
Like her first number-one single, "Physical" sold over two million copies, being certified platinum.
The video was featured on Pop-Up Video on VH1.
