“Physical” Voted Sexiest Song Of All Time
By Wyatt Earp | February 17, 2010
Billboard came out with their list of the sexiest songs of all time. Who won? Olivia Newton-John with “Physical.” Olivia Newton-John? Seriously?
LOS ANGELES – Move aside Madonna and watch out Barry White. The winner of the sexiest song of all time is — Olivia Newton-John with “Physical,” according to music publication Billboard.
Billboard has come up with a list of the 50 most popular songs about sex in time for Valentine’s Day with each song given points according to its performance on the Billboard hot 100 chart from August 1958 until January this year.
“Physical,” released by Newton-John in 1981, topped the list after spending 10 weeks as No. 1 in the Billboard Hot 100 chart. And while it certainly speaks to sex with lyrics such as “There’s nothin’ left to talk about, unless it’s horizontally,” the song became known as well-known as a track for aerobics classes in line with the singer’s exercise-themed video.
Sexiest song of all time? Hardly. That title belongs to this little ditty:

When I was going to college (back when dinosaurs walked the earth), our college radio station got sent an album of French songs. There was one, “Je t’aime”, that had an instrumental track and a lot of heavy breathing and moaning. (Think: Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally!)
That may have been the sexiest song of all time!
Good god……#1 Crush didn’t make the cut? What the hell kind of list is that?
OK…so Shirley Manson might strike some as the creepy emo self-cutting wench, but really….most of what she sang as Garbage’s lead vocalist is sexier than 75% of what’s on that list.
What? Oblivion Neutron Bomb?
Proof – I’d buy that for a dollar!
Fenway_Nation – Bite your tongue! 1. Shirley is a redhead. 2. Shirley has a fantastic voice. 3. Shirley is uber-hot!
GroovyVic – Surreal, ain’t it? BTW, in that photo above, I’m the fat guy in the white shorts.
Proof- I have that song! It was by Serge Gainsbourg. It caused quite an uproar.
Ew.
Hey!! Grace Slick and the Airplanes with White Rabbit
is probably the sexiest song but then ya gotta be high to
make the connection..uhh..duhh..unhh..have I come down yet??
“Afternoon Delight” by Starland Vocal Band!
Mrs. Crankipants – Did you break it out for Valentine’s Day?
GroovyVic – Kidding! I’m much fatter than that guy!
Jon – Yeah, I think I left my brown acid in my leisure suit.
Mrs. Crankipants – Or The Psychedelic Furs’ “I Wanna Sleep With You”
Oh my God, I completely forgot about that one! I love that song!!!
Mrs. Crankipants – From “Talk, Talk, Talk.” Great album, by the way.
I bought it when it first came out (on cassette)! Saw them at Tower Theater. Their opening band cancelled at the last minute and my friend Michael’s band took their place, AND it was my birthday. It was the best!
Wow, no Etta James, no Righteous Brothers, not even Whitney Houston or Sam Cooke? I would vote for Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On” or perhaps a little “Afternoon Delight”. But enough about my past-times.
Olivia, I’m gonna let you finish and all, but The Bloodhound Gang has the sexiest video of all time!
Jungle fever.
Was it the Top Australian Sexiest Songs? I mean Men at Work and Angel City don’t really belt out the love songs.
Personally, I always liked this one. And the singer is hot.
That’s ridiculous! “You Spin Me Round” by Dead or Alive is the sexiest song!
Whoops.
I hope my wife doesn’t read this.
RADAR LOVE!
Proof at #1 — Same here. Needless to say, it got heavy rotation.
AC/DC’s “Shook Me All Night Long”
ZZ Top’s “Pearl Necklace”
…and who could dismiss Ted Nugent’s “Wang Dang Sweet Poontang?”
