I've got the fever.
I was just a young child when I heard her. Just a young child.

My dad used to play me these Olivia Newton John songs. "If you love me let me know..."

Yeah, I am. I was going to bed a good while ago, but I got a second wind.

My second wind is starting to tank, though. Have fun, Bimble.

^^^^ I was just coming here to post that (again; I've said it on other threads). I'm betraying my age here, but she was so beautiful -- and elegant -- when I was growing up. I was crazy about her.

I like "Twist of Fate" a lot.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Sunday, 13 July 2008 17:03 (4 years ago) Permalink
There's one of her early Decca singles on one of their collection CDs. "Girls" most likely.
It is amazing!
― Mark G, Sunday, 13 July 2008 19:59 (4 years ago) Permalink
I'm absolutely astounded to realize that yes, in the deep recesses of my mind, I remember "Twist of Fate". It makes me feel really weird to hear it again, though. It's like some deep narrow crevice in my mind I'd completely forgotten. Especially the end of that song. Wow.
I'll check out that song "Girls", too, Mark G. I don't really know her earliest career all that well.
There's something magical about her. Through Grease and Xanadu. I don't know what it is. She's got some kind of charisma or something.
I love her covers of Dylan "If Not For You" (which also reminds me of George Harrison's lovely version) and John Denver's "Take Me Home Country Roads"...You see I just got this Greatest Hits again that I haven't had since I was like 7 years old or something and it completely flips my lid. The sleeve looks like the first picture I posted on this thread. Her face is so big on the sleeve. She's just stunning. And there really isn't a single bad track on the damn thing.

lawdog1301 (5 days ago) Show Hide +2 Poor comment Good comment Marked as spam Reply | Spam I am a happily married man of 20 years. I would never do anything to disgrace my wife, but....if the opportunity came along to have a night out with Olivia, HMMM. Don't worry ladies, my wife has the hots for John Travolta so I think a fair trade could be made for her. You can have your Angelina Jolies, Julia Roberts', Eva Longorias and such. I would pick Olivia in a heartbeat. What a beauty!

The song is not called "Girls"...
Till You Say You'll Be Mine (Jackie DeShannon) -Olivia Newton-John
on the Decca Originals compilation "Girls Scene"

Oh thanks! I was just looking around and I found this site just now and I thought I had entered the gates of heaven. Look at the record covers, for the love of...well I'm an atheist, but...

Mmm, good site! But (Cliff's first ever recorded duet was with Olivia) is rubbish: Loads of songs from The Young Ones and Summer Holiday with Grazina Frame (dubbing for the lead girls in both fims)
― Mark G, Wednesday, 16 July 2008 10:45 (4 years ago) Permalink
God, my mother used to listen to Olivia Newton-John incessantly when I was growing up, so my childhood memories have a soundtrack laden with "If You Love Me Let Me Know" (wtf with the crazy bass singer on that? did the Oak Ridge Boys back her?), "Please Mr. Please," "Have You Never Been Mellow," etc. etc. Admittedly, my 8-year-old self was quite taken with her in her chaste white nightie singing "Hopelessly Devoted To You."
― Pancakes Hackman, Wednesday, 16 July 2008 12:15 (4 years ago) Permalink
Hahahahah re: Oak Ridge Boys.
Also reminds me of Ike Turner! Fucking nobody sings like that anymore.

I thought this was going to be about another rubbish ITV show where Zoe Ball is forced by the Inland Revenue to introduce Tony Hadley performing "Physical," Jenny Frost tackling "Long Live Love," Peter Andre & Jordan "Summer Nights" &c.

You were right, Mark G. "Till You Say You'll Be Mine" is freaking AMAZING. It's almost rock and roll! Wow.

I have "Twist of Fate" on repeat, now. I hope you're happy.

Okay wait a minute, wait a minute, I am not believing my eyes. She did a video with John Travolta in the 80's???? SINCE FUCKING WHEN DID THIS EXIST? I never saw it, man.
Yeah, it's cheeseville, though. Be ready for full on cheeseville.

For some reason this song popped into my head last night. I didn't know it was Olivia Newton John. Also, I now realize I never knew what a lot of the lyrics were (especially the B-17 part), but that's typical for most songs I liked when I was a kid.

I bet a lot of people have no idea how big this song was at one time.

"Please Mr. Please" has been rendered in Czech as "Nechci Už Víc" recorded by Helena Blehárová and in Finnish as "Viistoista Siis" recorded by Taiska.

lol @ "rendered"
My mom was a HUGE O N-J fan when I was growing up, and played her first greatest hits record from 1977 often, so I grew up hearing this song, "Let Me Be There," "If Not For You," "If You Love Me Let Me Know," et al., alllllllll the time.
