Rosie O'Donnell Show

Olivia was guest on the Rosie O'Donnell Show to sing live I Honestly Love You (1998 version) and for a nice interview. Rosie introduces Olivia by playing a medley of Xanadu, Have You Never Been Mellow, Magic and Physical.

Rosie and Olivia chat about the re-release of Grease and recall how they saw each other in a restaurant a few years ago. However, because they'd never formally met both were too coy to go over and say hi to each other.  As Rosie summed it up: you feel a bit of a geek going over and saying "Hi you may know me I'm a celebrity too."

Rosie comments on Olivia's charming Australian accent and Olivia tells Rosie that she loves the New York accent - "it's fun". Rosie disagrees she think she sounds like a thug. They also discover that they both left school early and used to have nightmares about finding themselves in an examination not having a clue.

The highlight is a wonderful duet between Rosie and Olivia. To the tune of Physical they urge women to self-examine their breasts and to go for a mammogram. The song includes the lines: "Get a Physical, physical. Get yourself a mammogram". Hilarious, here are the lyrics:

Rosie - We're talkin' to women over 35.

Olivia - You do a self-examination.

Rosie - We got another thing to keep you alive, give your boobs a squeeze!

Olivia - A mammogram makes sure that you have healthy breasts.

Rosie - No different than a cold waffle iron...

Olivia - Reminds me of having my blue jeans pressed.

Rosie - So make your move and please.

Together - Get a PHYSICAL, PHYSICAL, call and get a PHYSICAL. Schedule a PHYSICAL. Get yourself a mammogram, you'll thank us ma'am. Get yourself a mammogram.

Olivia - You can do it 'cause your strong. It only hurts for 5 seconds.

Rosie - Uh-huh Uh-huh Uh-huh... Whether they're tiny, big, or long, you know what they need.

Olivia - If you feel a marble, a pea, or a flaw, don't be shy just get it checked.

Rosie - Be a trend setter, just whip off your bra! Start a health stampede!

Together - Get a PHYSICAL, PHYSICAL! It's time for your PHYSICAL. Don't say you're too BUSYICAL. Get yourself a mammogram, thank you ma'am. Get yourself a mammogram!
