It's friday!!! It has been an exhausting week but I think I did pretty well on my test yesterday. That said, I don't really have time to rest - there is still a lot of math to try and get through, and I just started a new english course. But, for now, I am going to enjoy the fact that the weekend is here - and I have just the song!
One of my favourite Olivia Newton-John songs was also one of her last big hits. "Twist Of Fate" was released in 1983 and became a hit in early 1984, reaching #4 in Australia and Canada and #5 in the US. It didn't do as well in the UK though, peaking at #57.
The song was taken from the soundtrack of the film Two Of Us, which starred Olivia and John Travolta. The film was a flop but the song is just a big batch of 80s goodness. Just imagine what a typical early 80s movie song sounds like and then try to tell me that this one does not tick all the boxes!
So, enjoy Oliva in all her glory (apparently she decided to wear all her makeup at once in the video) and take a trip back to a time when music was just really, really fun!
Have a great weekend!
UPDATE:
Olivia was a guest on the Jonathan Ross show this weekend. She started her UK tour last night in Cardiff.

Hugs
I still haven't bought Dick Tracy, but it is SO on my list the next time I order from the US! Breathless must SPARKLE! ;)
Have a great weekend too sweetie darling!!!!
The shoulder pads! The hairspray! The whiter-than-white teeth! Everything says it should be good, but unfortunately it is one of those generic songs-from-a-film-soundtrack everyone in the US seemed to be doing in the mid-80s. It could be a Kenny Loggins b-side... A low point for our Livvy, methinks. Jx
It is exactly a typical, typical 80s movie song - I must admit that Kenny Loggins came to mind when I posted the blog ;)
A low point? Oh no, a low point would be (for example) her dreadful John Travolta christmas single from last year (with one of the worst videos I have ever seen in my life).
I cannot deny I avoided the "John'n'Olivia reunited" mess like the plague - Xmas is bad enough without that extra horror! Jx
Omg the song and video to their x-mas single was just so very very very awful :(
I saw her on the Jonathan Ross show last night, she was funny but that pore face of hers is so very stretched that she now looks like a Chihuahua instead of a person :)
Hehehe - yes, she has gone a bit overboard with the plastic surgery. I saw her perform the eternally wonderful "Xanadu" on Oz TV a couple of years ago and she looked like she could barely move her face.
Why do famous women always end up looking like The Joker after they pass 60? We will make sure it won't happen to us, right darling?
