Body Talk

Following on from my previous post, I suddenly realised I had made a grave error. When I googled Body Talk lyrics I couldn't remember who the band were who sang the version that I remember from my teens (and which was used so effectively in Ashes to Ashes the other week). This was also partly because I always get it mixed up with Diana Ross' Let's Get Physical. At least, I think it's Diana Ross. You see I'm confused. I can't help it...

The weekend I was also busy rewriting Strictly Love I was also frantically googling dancing stuff on You Tube/emailing lawyers of my acquaintance/trying to learn dance steps while sitting at my computer, so my brain did get a tad addled.

I found what I thought were the right lyrics, by a band I couldn't remember called Ratt. And I had Rob whisper some of them to Katie as they danced (thereby handily getting round the need to seek copyright - you can quote lyrics in conversations or rephrase them).

The only trouble is of course, as any fule could have told me by now I had got the wrong sodding band.

There is a song called Body Talk by Ratt, but the one I was after was the one by Imagination.

Had I looked properly on You Tube (which for reasons which desert me now I failed to do), I could have found this. Which would have just been confusing frankly.



Or this, which would have made me realise the error of my ways.



When really it was this, which I was after all along. The perfect accompaniment to a rumba. I think... For the next stage of rewrites, which is the nitpicking phase, I am planning to choreograph the whole dance while listening to this to see if I can make it work. If not, well, I shall just claim dramatic license. Cos it's a dead sexy song. And it's a dead sexy dance. And I think if I were a married woman dancing to it with a bloke I rather fancied I might be in trouble. Which is the general idea...



And if I can manage it to help me out, I may try and find a video of the rumba and put this over it to see if it fits. I've tried it with the SCD version James and Orla did, as recommended by Loulabelle, and if you ignore the fact that Westlife are singing in the background it does kind of work...
