Queen's sexiest song, with its driving
bassline, swooping
synthesizer riffs, and
blatant lyrics. This
Freddie Mercury composition is from the
1982 album
Hot Space, and was released as a single which went to #25 on the British
pop charts and #11 on the American ones (in the
U.K. with a cover depicting an apparently
nude man and woman viewed from nose to hips and in a position that could be interpreted as ready for
sixty-nine; a plain
sleeve was substituted in the
U.S.)
It also had a video that was rather controversial at the time. Neither MTV nor the BBC would play it. I've seen it on a 1980s music video collection called Red Hot Rock, which boasts of music videos "you could never see on TV" -- "Body Language" is definitely the tamest thing on there (if one of the better-made ones), with no real nudity of any kind, just legs, stomachs, and backs of people rolling around shadowed situations, the band members walking through what might be a Turkish bath, and the hips of a row of leotard-wearing dancers swaying in and out of the shot.

Look at me; I got a case of body language
Look at me; I got a case of body language

Body language body language body language
Body language body language body language
Body language body language body language
