Band Turned a BAD Dad JOKE into the LONGEST Song Title to HIT #1 in the 70s! | Professor of Rock

Coming up… an interview with Howard and David Bellamy, aka the Bellamy Brothers… They’re a band that had 10 #1 hits and a top 10 hit in three straight decades on one chart and had one of the biggest #1 hits of the 70s on the pop charts with a song that Neil Diamond’s roadie wrote… “Let Your Love Flow.” Neil didn’t do the song and then it was passed over by others until the Bellamys stepped in and made it a standard. And then they followed it up with another huge hit: “If I Said You Have a Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me.” That one’s essentially a dad joke, but because of its title, everyone still remembers it. Coming up on Professor of Rock.

It’s time for our latest edition of Revelations- where featured artists go deep on their greatest songs. Stories you won’t hear anywhere else! Today we have a special session with the Bellamy brothers on their two biggest hits, the 70s number one smash Let Your Love Flow and this dad joke extraordinaire hit If I said you you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me… one of the longest song titles ever and a song that’s pretty much a dad joke! ha ha The Bellamy Brothers had 10 #1 hits, not the country charts but were a major crossover success like Kenny Rogers and Eddie Rabbit. they also had a top 10 hit in 3 straight decades on that charts one of of only a few artists or bands to do that.

Let Your Love Flow was written by Neil Diamond roadie Larry Williams but it didn’t really fit Neil’s style and other artists passed on it including Johnny Rivers but the Bellamy brothers knew it was a smash… But in the case of If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body, the song was written by David Bellamy and derived its double entendre dad joke song title from a Groucho Marx line. David used to watch Groucho on, You Bet Your Life, where Marx used the saying while interviewing an attractive female contestant, then shook his cigar and raised his eyebrows as he always did. You couldn’t do that today that’s for sure!
