At the time I’m writing this Olivia Newton John is being played back to back on The ABC Family Channel. She appears first in Grease followed by Xanadu, the cheezy musical movie women love.

If you go to YouTube you can see one of her big hits from the early eighties called “Physical.” The song itself sounds dirty: Let’s get physical. Physical. Let me hear your body talk…

But the video interprets the song in a humorous fashion with fat men trying to get in shape. Olivia proceeds to torture each one of them by cranking up the speed on an exercise bike and jumping on a guy’s back while massaging him. Then she smugly goes off to a shower, apparently forgetting to take off her clothes.

When she returns to the gym she finds all her fat guys have turned into muscular men wearing bikini briefs, men she has to touch. Unfortunately, they leave her in pairs holding hands. Yes, working out with Olivia Newton John transforms you into a gay muscle man.

You would think with a song like “Physical” that you would see Olivia in an outfight tighter than the one she wore at the end of Grease, or at least some suggestive skin. Instead were treated to a humorous display of flesh at the expense of men who are either fat or gay. It has to be the un-sexiest music video ever–unless you like gay men.
