I actually L-O-V-E-D Work That Body when it came out; I was 13 at the time and I though--as did many of my peers--that the song was "hot" and "happening," and it was one of the few songs we could actually sing along quite easily, as we were not that fluent in English. Diana's performance of Work That Body was a highlight for me at her concert in Rotterdam in 1982. Now, in retrospect, I recognize that it was a novelty song, and not the best Paul Jabara wrote and produced (I think his work is great)--mostly because of the aerobics theme, which, again in retrospect, is rather silly and definitely dated. But musically, this is one of the stronger songs of the album and fits quite nicely with Mirror Mirror-- just listen to the guitars--and Work That Body is similar in sound to Mirror Mirror, but while the latter is more Rock, Work That Body is quite funky; it's the lyrics and topic, not the music and sound, that make this song seem dated in 2016.

What a stupid record and a cheap rip off of Olivia Newton John's "Physical"!

The song was really popular in the UK, and i'm sure was played in gyms and fitness studios the length and breadth of the country. It is still a great motivational song to work out to even now. It's interesting that it charted higher then songs that are considered Diana classics. Diana's popularity at the time was such that she only had to put out half decent material, as this song proved and it would have charted well. Songs such as "It's Never To Late" or "So Close" were simply not good enough. Even for a performer who's popularity was at it's peak.

Songs such as "It's Never To Late" or "So Close" were simply not good enough. Even for a performer who's popularity was at it's peak. And of course, Paul Jabara is a master of writing clever (yet sometimes silly) lyrics: "every morning when I wake, to make up for that piece of cake, I ate last night" (Work That Body); "instead of the plumber, I called Donna Summer, waiting for seventeen rings" (Never Lose Your Sense of Humor). Always wondered if Ross ever consider to record Ladies Hot Line that she co-wrote with Jabara herself (it was recorded eventually by The Weather Girls)...

Diana had that baby by Berry Gordy to secure her future. She had those babies by Arne Naess to secure her future when her career was winding down. It seems to me she enjoys the challenge of stealing another woman's husband or boyfriend. 2 lips got her to the top, but they were not on her mouth. Work That Body - A Tribute To Her Big Furry Pink Box!
I think Diana is really a lesbian in denial.
