We're being Physical on ttt154
Hello Hello to all you wonderful Hivians and music lovers
We're being Physical on ttt154
Tuesday for me on Hive means three tune tuesday...
If you know me then you know I love to take my inspiration from somewhere.
Well this week is no different!
Today the inspiration comes from me being sick!
Okay that is not quite true, but I have been cooped up the last few days with a summer fly type thing that was doign the rounds at the work of Mrs T and it was playing havoc with my sinuses.
So yesterday I got up and did a new YouTube workout. Yep I was being Physical ....
So a wee tribute to Olivia Newton-John.
It is Tuesday and that of course means that it's #ttt or #threetunetuesday and so it's time to share some tunes with you!
@ablaze started #ttt 154 weeks ago! Go check out what it is all about on his last post Lankum for Three Tune Tuesday - Week 153 - 12 HBI shares to be won!
Do go support @ablaze as without him we would not have this mental fun musical activity that you can win HSBI from! I am happy to be one of the TWELVE sponsors and it is kinda fun checking out music from all over this global village of ours!
Long live #ttt 😁🎼 and #threetunetuesday
Today we are going to have fun with some Olivia Newton-John songs!
Of course I have to start with what I was talking about, so get up off the couch and let's get ....
Actually before we do, I was just reading her bio etc on wiki and did you know that her maternal grandfather was German Jewish Nobel Prize–winning physicist Max Born?
No, me neither!
So yeah what with atoms ping ponging off each other we start off with getting physical!
Olivia Newton-John - Physical
Her most famous and surely one of the most iconic musicals of all time was the 1978 movie Grease. It does have some cracking songs especially the duets with the one and only John Travolta.
Olivia Newton-John & John Travolta - Summer Nights
It was hard to choose only one tune for today, but what with summer allegedly coming, then it had to be Summer Nights.
I am not sure what the weather will bring this year, but at least here in Scotland we know we will have plenty of summer nights with amazing light in the evenings and hopefully giving me plenty of drone time!
Time for perhaps my favourite song from her...
Olivia Newton John - Xanadu
I think this was Olivia Newton-John at her finest and a great collaboration with ELO (Electric Light Orchestra), I am not sure if I have seen an ELO ttt before, we will have to see, but perhaps that is one for another week...
And of course I think a bonus tone is in order ... because ....
Olivia Newton-John - Hopelessly Devoted to You
I hope that you enjoyed these Olivia Newton-John tunes.
Which was your favourite (if any) ?
Note: The three YouTube videos that I have shared are not owned by me, I am simply spreading great music on Hive.
I wish that you all have a brilliant rest of your week, and until we meet again enjoy your tunes 🎶🎵🎶

Thanks guys
Xanadu was an amazing song, definitely my best!
Yeah it was an absolute belter 😁
Innocent always portrayed 🤣
Physical! I immediately thought of Dua Lipa’s Physical. Heard it? and daaaaaammm! Those are ripped bodies!!! Eddie… are you ripped? 👀 okay whew!!! Those were some bodies!!!
You said that was a movie? What an awesome move with his legs though. Almost looks like my chicken dance. Okay I love this song!!! Beautiful dance and the tune too
Xanadu!!! I love it!!! I really love it…. Whoooo! Okay I’m nodding my head and adding to playlists. Thank you for this Eddie
Okay I’m torn between Hopelessly Devoted and Xanadu. I love Xanadu for its splash of color and upbeat rhythm. And I love Hopelessly Devoted to you because I can really hear the power of her voice.
I’ll still have to go with Xanadu as my favorite ❤️
Ah yes Dua Lipa and believe it or not I have heard of it! Ripped haha.
Lol oh god I can see you chicken dancing right now
Xanadu is ageless and a great one to add to your playlist Deraa see the movie it is worth it too!
I really should since it is starring John Travolta. I’ve only seen one or two of his movies and was not disappointed
She really had it all didn't she? Quite amazing selections. I think I have the soundtrack to Xanadu on vinyl. It's always a fun spin!
Hola hola, Super Ed!
I love Olivia Newton-John. She was a great singer. I love Summer Nights but without a doubt my all time favorite by her is Xanadu. I got to watch the movie so much that I knew it by heart, lol.
I'm glad you are feeling better. Happy Tuesday!🌀
Hehe we both love Olivia Newton-John then super Eli!
hehe she was Magic! Now I am thinking it might be fun to watch Xanadu again!
I hope you are having a wonderful week.
Xanadu and this one ...

They are SO deeply rooted memories. Guess those have been the first songs, ages ago, with a sound deeply touching my heart and soul, vibrating in every cell 😘
Oh yes B Magic I loved that one too. I am not sure if there is anything I didn't like, maybe some of her country stuff was not as awesome as the rest but a great singer.
Big hugs to my night owl B
Think I dont know much from Olivia besides those Well known hits 🤔
Feel hugged too dear nightowl ❤️
Oh.My.God! 😱
You've done it again.
Chosen 2 of my all time favourite songs from Livvy!
Xanadu and Physical!
AND the movie too with Xanadu!
Oh yeah, she's a regular on our playlist at work, don't know how the customers feel when they hear all of us singing on the other end of the phone...but who cares! It's Olivia! 😃
Haaa love ya work!
Ah of course she is from your neck of the woods. She is awesome and her voice, really beautiful and Xanadu was an awesome film.
Haaa yes, she's one of ours, though I'm sure you're aware that she was original British by birth, though at some stage most of us were somewhere along the line anyway...🤣
And yes love love LOVED Xanadu....Oh what a movie...Oh what a time...🤣
Even My grandfathers was born on Bonhill in Dunbarton...Mum's maiden name is Giffen from the west coast- Ayreshire way.
Dumbarton and Ayrshire is good Rangers country :)
Yeah I knew she was born in England but didn't know her grandparents were German, quire fascinating researching her.
Yeah I think it's quite fascinating researching everyone's ancestry.
Have you done yours yet?
You know, all us Aussies that came in the first few waves are all under the impression that we're just basically all Brit and nothing else, but when you think about it, the Brits have been mixed up with all other races for centuries first and they're all totally suprised when they find dna from other races...🙄 like the Brits never sailed around the world raping and pillaging virtually every other continent...AFTER they were themselves conquered by the Romans...
I haven't actually done my DNA test yet, but I was actually adopted and thought for 21 years that I was Italian, Greek or Spanish then when I found the bio parents- BIG shock.
1/4 of each...Welsh, Scottish, Irish, English...🙄🤣😭🤣
Still think that there's a lot of something else in there though...
Anyway, what's a ranger?
Oh and you see the first photo in here of the OLD glasses that I found stashed in Mum's cupboard....https://peakd.com/hive-180658/@chocolatescorpi/the-great-glassware-collection-thanks-to-mum
Found her jewelry box and sorted it out today- so many Scottish things in there...🤣
Yeah I know mine, we came to the UK in 1066, my ancester was the admiral for William the Conqueror so he led the armada... was rewarded with land etc. Blond was the surname but in time got changed to Blount and then Blunt to denote protestants may years later. So yes it is fascinating.
Rangers are my football team hehe.
That is some set of glasses! Aha so Sunday was a Scottish day
Wow you're family got there in a very significant time didn't they! 1066, I think that's a year that has been drummed into out heads in history in high school over here!
So any idea where they were before 1066? Blond sounds like it could be a Nordic or Germanic name...did you find that out through research or dna or both?
So yes I thought the rangers must have been a footy team..🤣..Footy or soccer?
Ahhhh yeahhh lol...Still finding Scottish stuff stashed away in Mum's jewelry today.
Her old jewelry box was a complete and I found a lot of Scottish broaches in there and what looked like was a pair of cuff links that were turned into earrings with JSG inscribed on them and when the jeweler read out the JSG to me, I instantly thought of Mum's brother- John Scott Giffen who was a famous Magician back in the 50/60/70's before he died, but I just realised just then that they could have also belonged to her dad who was also John Scott Giffen born in Bonhill Dunbarton...Hmmmm...they're in the shape of a crest...I'll take a photo of them tomorrow and show you. If they were his, they'd have to be...atleast 70yrs old- which I know is nothing to you guys when you're all over there finding gold and jewels from the 1200's stashed in paddocks everywhere...🤣
This is an amazing artist who I just got to know about, all thanks to you. The instant I played Xanadu, I knew I had to listen till the end and I did. It was worth it 👍.
